Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, more radiant skin. Unlike chemical peels or laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion uses mechanical exfoliation to improve skin texture with minimal downtime.
Overview
Microdermabrasion works by using controlled abrasion and suction to remove dull, damaged skin. This stimulates cellular turnover and increases circulation, promoting a refreshed and revitalised complexion. It’s suitable for most skin types and can be tailored to address a range of skin concerns.
What Can Microdermabrasion Help With?
Microdermabrasion can help improve the appearance of:
- Dull, uneven skin texture and rough patches
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Sun damage, age spots and pigmentation irregularities
- Congested pores, blackheads and acne-prone skin
- Mild acne scarring and surface blemishes
- Uneven tone and rough skin
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin brightness and glow
Health Considerations
Microdermabrasion may not be suitable if any of the following apply:
- Active skin infections, open wounds, or inflamed acne
- Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea in the treatment area
- Recent chemical peels, laser treatments, or skin resurfacing procedures
- Use of isotretinoin (Roaccutane) within the last 6–12 months
- Known allergies or sensitivities to treatment materials (including aluminium oxide crystals, where the Diamond Tip option may be recommended)
A comprehensive consultation is carried out prior to treatment to assess your skin condition, medical history, and suitability, ensuring the safest and most effective treatment approach for your individual needs.
The first step in a Microdermabrasion treatment is to cleanse the skin thoroughly to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. The selected device—either the SkinBase® system using aluminium oxide crystals or the Diamond Tip system for clients with sensitivities—is then used to gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin. The hand-held device simultaneously removes dead skin cells and debris while stimulating circulation and promoting cellular renewal. After the exfoliation, the skin is treated with a soothing serum or moisturiser to calm any redness and restore hydration. The result is smoother, brighter, and more radiant-looking skin with improved texture and tone, ready to reveal its natural glow.
