What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses fine crystals and a vacuum to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells from the outer layer. Although microdermabrasion is most well-known as a facial treatment, it can be used on most areas of your body such as your face, neck, chest, back and hands, if they require exfoliation. This safe procedure is designed to reduce fine lines, minor scars, wrinkles, sun damage and age spots to make your skin smoother and younger looking.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive treatment that uses fine, evenly spaced micro needles that cause a controlled injury to the deep layers of the skin. This has been proven to trigger the body’s natural healing process that stimulates the repair and reformation of healthy tissue, bringing the skin into a healthier condition. This can result in a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scarring, sagging and large pores. The treatment is also called collagen induction therapy, which helps to explain the benefits.
During the microneedling treatment, you have the added benefit of products being infused into the dermis(mesotherapy cocktail).
Clinicare mesotherapy products offer a mixture of skin rejuvenation, hydrating, firming, tightening and antioxidant ingredients to restore moisture and firmness caused by the loosening of hyaluronic acid and collagen fibres.
Microneedling should only be carried out by a trained professional with sterile protocols.

What is electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a hair removal method that requires a trained professional to use a fine probe to pass a small current to the root of the hair. This process destroys the root preventing hair regrowth, leading to long-term hair reduction.
What can be treated with advanced electrolysis?
A wide diversity of skin blemishes can be effectively treated using precise, professional techniques. Facial thread veins commonly appear around the nose and on the cheeks and can be reduced to restore a more even complexion; bright red blood spots often occur on the midriff, back or chest and are quickly removed; spider naevus presents as a central dilated capillary with radiating smaller capillaries and can be treated to diminish visible vascular patterns. Common benign lesions such as skin tags—frequently found on the neck, underarms and areas of friction—and milia, tiny hard white keratin-filled lumps, can be safely removed. Warts have several types, including seborrhoeic keratosis, common, plane, filiform and verrucae, all of which can be treated precisely with diathermy for effective clearance. Age spots and other pigmentary concerns can also be improved to deliver a smoother, more uniform skin tone
What happens during a lesion assessment?
A Dermoscope is used to closely examine the lesion; detailed photos will be taken and a short questionnaire completed. This information is then submitted to a UK-qualified GP and/or dermatology specialist who provide a rapid turnaround of clinical advice. This process helps to support advanced blemish practitioners in accurately identifying a wide range of skin conditions with greater confidence and clarity. As a result, your bothersome lesion may be quickly and safely treated in-salon when appropriate.
