Objectives:
- It is postulated that the combination of microdermabrasion, combined with superficial microneedling and M-SEQNC Serum, will result in improved transdermal delivery of the product and further improve outcomes.
- Microneedling is known to enhance transdermal drug and molecular delivery, microdermabrasion will remove the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, which is the principal barrier to diffusion of drugs and molecules.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive skin treatment, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer (stratum corneum), and has many benefits.

- Improve age spots and blackheads.
- Hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin)
- Exfoliate skin.
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores.
- Treat acne and the scars left by acne.
Consultation:
- Identify the indications for treatment with microdermabrasion that may be improved using M-SEQNC Serum and superficial microneedling.
- Discuss medical history, both present and past, medication and history of allergies to identify contra-indications.
- Discuss potential side effects of the procedure which are generally mild and self-limiting.
