Q1 What is your favorite Facial?
A1… I really love the facials that you can see results after one treatment, and some fantastic long-term results after a course.
Therefore, Skinbase microdermabrasion is my top facial. I am known to be found lugging this machine around to take it home to treat myself!
I love how deep microdermabrasion can exfoliate your skin and how fresh it looks after. It is a great facial when your skin needs a seriously good pick me up. My love of Skinbase MD facial comes from the results you can achieve in a short space of time. It really softens fine lines and brightens the skin complexion so much I have had clients stop wearing make-up… it is brilliant at resurfacing the skin. The microdermabrasion brand I use is of very good quality and I myself have got great results.
Q2 What can MICRODERMABRASION do for me?
A2….. Just one SkinBase MD facial can dramatically improve the feel and appearance of the skin.
MICRODERMABRASION can treat the following skin issues…
Dull tired skin
Fine lines and wrinkles
Teenage and Adult acne
Scarring
Sun damage
Ideal pre-wedding facial for brides and groom
Pre-party season facial
All round anti age treatment
Microdermabrasion can also be used on the body to treat
Ingrown hairs
Back or chest acne
Sun damage
Q3 How does Microdermabrasion work?
A3 A wand delivering a fine jet of abrasive crystals will be passed over the skin. Dead skin particles will be abraded away and a vacuum action will remove the debris. This dual action will both resurface the skin and stimulate the blood flow, encouraging the skin to rejuvenate itself and produce collagen and elastin. After passing across the skin area once, we will then target problem areas.
Alison will decide the Vacuum pressure, crystal flow, the speed and movement of each handpiece pass, as well as the number of repeated strokes over the same area of skin depending on your skin needs.
Q4 How often and how many treatments would you recommend?
A4 If you are just looking for a pick me up 1 treatment works well; however, I highly advise my clients to rebook every 6 weeks to keep their skin in top condition.
If you have a skin issue you want to resolve then a course is best.
In order for MD to work you should have a facial every 7-10 day and I normally advise a course of 5 for most conditions
Then I recommend you have a treatment every 6-8 week to maintain your results. I do this as our skin is constantly exposed to the environment and life stresses and constantly changing with the seasons. It is important to keep up your skincare routine to maintain good skin health.
Q5 HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
A5…. The Skinbase MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL cost €60 per facial. When you book a course of 5 you get 1 FREE treatment total cost is €240.
As a special to MARY O DONNELL BEAUTY followers Alison has offered for the month of October a special offer price of €45
