Microdermabrasion FAQs

Microdermabrasion is a well established exfoliation procedure that gently removes the old and dead skin cells from the outer layer of skin . The treatment uses tiny crystals that break up these cells to reveal the smoother, softer skin underneath.
The crystals are gently buffed into the skin using a moveable handheld suction device.
Microdermabrasion has many uses:
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles
- Minimising pore size
- Fading brown spots and hyperpigmentation
- Minimise acne scars
No, it may feel a little scratchy though because of the speed as which the crystals buff the skin.
Generally yes. It is important to find an experienced skin professional to avoid the risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation.
It can take between 30 - 60 minutes. Shorter if combined with another advanced service.
The skin is usually smoother, softer and more vibrant.
It’s usually four to six weeks before another treatment will be needed.
Immediately post treatment, the skin can look flushed or a little red. Sometimes a little bit more sensitive and dry too, so needs a gentle touch.
