Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells using a handheld device. The procedure typically involves either a stream of fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand that lightly abrades the skin’s surface, while a vacuum mechanism simultaneously removes the exfoliated skin cells.
Key Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion offers a range of benefits, making it an excellent choice for those looking to refresh their complexion and improve their skin’s overall health.
What to expect during a microdermabrasion treatment
Consultation
Your microdermabrasion experience begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals.
How long does it take?
The treatment itself is comfortable and typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
How does it feel?
During the session, the practitioner will gently exfoliate your skin using the microdermabrasion device. You may feel a slight scratching or vibrating sensation as the device works across your skin, but the treatment is generally painless.
After your Microdermabrasion
After the exfoliation, a soothing serum or moisturiser is applied to hydrate and protect your skin.
Caring for your skin after a Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a gentle treatment with minimal downtime. However, it’s important to care for your skin properly after the session to maximise the benefits. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun following the treatment.
