MD Facial Treatments guide
| Essential SkinBase Facial |
During this 30 minute SkinBase facial thousands of tiny crystals are used to polish away the very outermost layer of skin. Using a combination of exfoliation and vacuum action, pores are unblocked and impurities removed from the skin to reveal a fresh, healthy and radiant complexion.
| Deluxe Facial |
The SkinBase deluxe facial includes a deep exfoliating Microdermabrasion treatment that will leave skin super smooth, clean and refreshed; perfectly prepped for applying one of our hydrating masks. The pampering doesn't end there, while our mask works its magic, we will work ours with a relaxing neck and shoulder massage for the ultimate pampering. Pure bliss.
| Advanced Facial |
Similar to our Essential facial but with particular attention paid to problem areas. Ideal as a second treatment to really concentrate on areas of congestion around the T-Zone, fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes. A course of treatment may be more appropriate so make sure to ask us about those. Courses can be specially tailored to your needs to achieve the best results possible.
| Monthly Maintenance |
After a course of treatment you will need to maintain the results and keep your skin in tip top condition. Skin renews itself about every 4 weeks so we recommend a monthly maintenance treatment to ensure the old skin is exfoliated to maintain a glowing complexion. Microdermabrasion also helps the absorption of skincare products into the skin, so your at home skincare routine is more effective. MD also enhances the barrier function of your skin helping to lock in moisture.
| Acne Treatment Plan | Prices start from £/$/€— for a course of - 6/8/10+
Microdermabrasion is an extremely effective treatment for acne. We recommend a course of 6-20 facials depending on the severity of acne. A full skin consultation will be carried out to recommend a personalised treatment plan. During treatment old skin particles will be abraded away and a vacuum action used to remove the debris. This dual action will both resurface the skin and stimulate blood flow, encouraging skin to rejuvenate itself. New collagen and elastin production will improve
the appearance of any acne scarring and speed up healing.
| Pigmentation Treatment Plan | Prices start from £/$/€— for a course of - 6/8/10+
The SkinBase facial was designed as a skin pigmentation treatment and can therefore vastly improve the appearance of facial pigmentation and skin blemishes, especially melasma. Microdermabrasion will gently exfoliate the topmost layer of skin removing the dark skin which has formed. We would generally recommend between 6-8 treatments. The final result and number of treatments required depends on a number of factors. These include the type of lesion, skin type, the degree of sun tan, size and depth of the pigmentation and the location to be treated. A full consultation will be carried out to give you an accurate recommendation based on your requirements.
| Rejuvenating Treatment Plan | Prices start from £/$/€— for a course of - 6/8/10
SkinBase microdermabrasion is a targeted and effective rejuvenating facial treatment. It works by removing the skin’s dead cells and increasing the collagen produced by our ageing skin. MD leaves skin looking fresh and smooth as soon as the treatment is over. With microdermabrasion there is no recovery time and no discomfort just a noticeable difference to fine lines and wrinkles. A course of 6-8 followed by a monthly maintenance treatment will help to maintain results long term.
MD Body Treatments Guide
| SkinBase MD Back Repair Treatment |
Our most powerful MD treatment specifically designed to treat the back area. During treatment a vigorous jet of crystals will slough away old skin and imperfections. Meanwhile the powerful vacuum action will unblock pores and stimulate blood flow to the area to promote healing and improve the appearance of the skin. To achieve the best results we recommend a course of treatments. A full consultation will be carried out to establish the best course of treatments for your needs.
| SkinBase MD Stretch Mark Treatment |
Stretch marks form when rapid growth causes the skin to over-stretch. Hormones affect the normal levels of elastin and collagen production which results in what we call stretch marks. Treatment for stretch marks is most effective when they are still red in appearance. Microdermabrasion stimulates collagen and elastin production to help contract the marks so they appear smaller and thinner. Over a course of treatment the level of the skin surrounding the stretch marks is also reduced to be closer to the stretch mark itself, this also makes them less visible. Course length can vary considerably depending on the size and extent of the stretch marks, typically 6-10 treatments will be required.
| SkinBase MD Decolletage Treatment |
This delicate area requires a sensitive touch. Our Decolletage treatment will use the MD’s variable control to ensure just the right amount of pressure for your skin. Also prone to pigmentation issues, the decolletage will see benefits from a course of treatment to gently remove pigmentation caused by sun damage.
| SkinBase Luxury MD Manicure |
Our hands are one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing and they work hard for us too! This treatment will not only ensure your nails look good it will make your hands look amazing too. Age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, dry and dehydrated skin; microdermabrasion will fight the signs of ageing and improve the absorption of hand creams whilst keeping moisture locked in.

SkinBase Treatment Options using machines in combination
| Acne Treatment Plan |
MD + IPL Acne/Rejuvenation
Our approach here will depend on the current condition of your skin. If you are suffering from acne then our recommended treatment plan will include a course of IPL. This kills bacteria and prevents the overproduction of sebum that can cause spots, followed by a course of MD to unblock pores and clear congestion. The number and length of course will depend on the severity of the acne. For acne scarring we will incorporate MD and IPL Photorejuvenation to stimulate collagen, elastin
and hyaluronic acid production.
| Anti-ageing Treatment plan |
MD + IPL Vascular/Rejuvenation + RF/CL
We’re here to help you turn back the years. An in-depth consultation will be carried out with one of our specially trained SkinBase therapists. We will then design a bespoke treatment plan that targets your particular skin concerns. Using all three systems we will create a course of treatment that will tighten and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin surface to give a youthful glow without invasive treatment.
| Skin Rebalance Treatment Plan |
MD + IPL Rejuvenation/Acne + RF /CL
Our Skin rebalance treatment plan uses all three SkinBase systems to restore the balance of your skin. Starting with a microdermabrasion treatment to provide deep exfoliation, balance uneven tone and rejuvenate dull skin. Followed by IPL rejuvenation or acne treatment to kill bacteria and create a flood of collagen to kickstart the healing process and achieve a glowing complexion. Finally an RF/CL facelift to treat any fine lines and tighten and tone the face. This process will be carried out over 2-3 weeks.
| SkinBase Stretch Mark Treatment Plan |
MD + RF /CL
Stretch marks form when rapid growth causes the skin to over-stretch. Hormones affect the normal levels of elastin and collagen production which results in the torn marks we call stretch marks. Treatment is most effective when the stretch marks are still red in appearance. We can stimulate the collagen and elastin production to help contract the marks so they appear smaller and thinner. Our stretch mark treatment plan will include a combination of Microdermabrasion and Radio Frequency/Collagen Lift treatment to stimulate the skin’s own healing process.
| Pigmentation Treatment Plan |
MD + IPL Rejuvenation
Pigmentation is an overproduction of melanin deposited in the dermis. The causes of pigmentation are varied. Common causes include hormonal triggers and sun exposure. We will use a combination of MD and IPL treatment to lift and remove pigmentation. The number of treatments required will vary depending on a number of factors. Type of lesion, skin type, the degree of sun tan, size and depth of the pigmentation as well as location to be treated influence the treatment plan. Rest assured, your therapist will assess your needs in detail before suggesting an appropriate course of treatment,
This can be carried out using level 4/body setting. As the area to treat is large we recommend using MD to target rather than completing the full back. If they have problem skin on the whole back then you might want to factor in an extra use of the MD in your costings. Procedure wise start with a cleanse, use a body scrub to do a base exfoliation first, wipe off and blot dry. Then use MD to target as much of the area as you can. Then use a mask that will soothe and hydrate. Finish with a light
moisturiser at the end.
Pedicure -
Use microdermabrasion at the hard skin removal stage after soak, ensuring the foot is completely dry. We would advise to be careful on other sensitive areas of the feet and confine it to hard skin areas only. You can incorporate mask and massage but no heated boots.
Additions for Advanced/Deluxe treatments -
Mask, hand and arm, neck & shoulders, scalp massage
Therapist notes for combination treatments
Timings between treatments - 1 week between Md + IPL
