Microdermabrasion
A gentle exfoliating treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells for a brighter complexion.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion uses a device to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells, either through fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand, simultaneously suctioning away the removed cells and any debris. This non-invasive treatment requires no anaesthesia and involves no downtime, making it a popular choice for a quick skin refresh. Your practitioner adjusts the intensity of the treatment based on your skin's sensitivity and specific concerns, with the entire session typically taking thirty minutes to an hour.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Dull or uneven skin texture
- Minor sun damage or age spots
- Fine lines and enlarged pores
- A desire for smoother, more radiant skin without downtime
- Preparing the skin for better absorption of skincare products
How does this procedure help?
Microdermabrasion leaves skin looking noticeably smoother and brighter immediately after treatment, with continued improvement in texture and tone with regular sessions. Because it involves no downtime, it fits easily into a regular skincare routine or can be done before a special occasion. Many patients find it an effective, gentle way to maintain ongoing skin health and radiance.
