Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive skin treatment that buffs away the outermost layer of the skin to create a smoother and younger appearance.

The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it. After the treatment, a new layer of skin forms. Often several treatments are needed to obtain the required results.

There are a few different ways to do the procedure, based on the specific device used:

• A diamond-tip handpiece is designed to gently exfoliate dead cells in your skin. At the same time, it will suction them off immediately.
• The depth of the abrasion may be affected by the pressure applied on the handpiece as well as how long the suction is allowed to remain on the skin. This type of microdermabrasion applicator is generally used in more sensitive facial areas, like close to the eyes.
• Crystal microdermabrasion uses a crystal-emitting handpiece to gently spray on fine crystals to rub away outer layers of the skin. Like the diamond-tip handpiece, dead skin cells are suctioned off right away. The different types of crystals that may be used include aluminum oxide and sodium bicarbonate.
• Hydradermabrasion is a newer method. It involves combining simultaneous dermal infusion of products and crystal-free exfoliation. The entire process stimulates collagen production and maximizes blood flow to your skin.

Course Description:

Our Microdermabrasion course is a one-on-one private course, particularly designed with 8 intensive hours of practice, which focuses on providing students with all the essential skills and knowledge prior to starting in the workforce.

More excitingly, by enrolling in the course, students will not only have the opportunity to practice the techniques on real clients but they’ll also receive in-person treatment demonstration from the trainer so they know and understand what the client feels like when receiving the same service that you are providing.

It is not a government accredited course but an Academy Master Class. Our College Master Class Certificate is awarded on completion of 8 practical hours (recorded in log book) which can be in your own salon.

Le Spa Massage Academy offers a 1-day training course covering all correct treatment protocols and techniques to properly and proficiently perform microdermabrasion using a diamond head microdermabrasion tool.

Once you have graduated with your Professional Certificate in Microdermabrasion, you are able to apply for Professional Liability to start practising at home or in a clinic.
