What it is

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin using a specialised device. It helps to refresh and resurface the skin, improving overall tone and texture.


The treatment works by lightly polishing the skin while simultaneously vacuuming away debris, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion underneath.

Benefits

  • Improves skin texture and smoothness
  • Enhances skin radiance and brightness
  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and dullness
  • Supports clearer skin by unclogging pores
  • Can improve the appearance of mild pigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • No downtime, making it ideal for regular maintenance treatments

What to expect

Your appointment will begin with a consultation and a cleanse of the skin.


During the treatment, a handheld device is used to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin while removing dead skin cells. You may feel a light scratching or vibrating sensation, but the treatment is generally comfortable and relaxing.


The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.


After treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink and feel smoother and more refreshed immediately.

Aftercare

  • Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours if possible
  • Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser
  • Avoid active skincare products (such as retinol or acids) for 24 to 48 hours
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF daily
  • Avoid heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 hours
  • Do not use harsh exfoliants for a few days after treatment


Proper aftercare helps maintain results and protects the freshly exfoliated skin.
