MICRODERMABRASION
The treatment that buffs away dullness and reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath
If your skin feels rough, looks dull, or you’re tired of trying to cover texture with makeup, microdermabrasion gets straight to the point.
It uses a gently abrasive instrument to remove the thicker outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing the fresher, smoother skin beneath. Think of it as a professional-grade polish that improves texture, evens tone, and softens the appearance of fine lines and scarring.
The treatment is straightforward, effective, and suitable for thicker more coarse type skins.. There’s no downtime, and you’ll see and feel the difference immediately.
Your session also includes manual extractions to clear any congestion, a hydrating mask to lock in moisture, and a neck and décolletage massage to finish things off properly. It’s clinical skincare that still feels like self-care.
Who’s it for
Microdermabrasion works well if you’re dealing with:
Rough or uneven texture
Dull, tired-looking skin
Anyone wanting smoother, brighter skin without invasive treatments
Skin discolouration or uneven tone
Congestion or blackheads
It’s safe, effective, and straightforward – one of those treatments that just works.
How it works
The microdermabrasion tool gently exfoliates the top layer of skin, removing dead cells and stimulating fresh cell turnover underneath. This reveals smoother texture, brighter tone, and clearer skin.
After the exfoliation, we do manual extractions to clear out any stubborn congestion or blackheads. Then we apply a calming hydration mask to soothe and replenish your skin.
The session ends with a relaxing neck and décolletage massage, so you leave feeling refreshed in every sense.
What to expect
How it feels
The microdermabrasion itself feels like a gentle scratching or buffing sensation across your skin, not painful, just slightly abrasive. Most people find it oddly satisfying.
The extractions are quick and thorough. Then the mask goes on cool and calming, and the massage at the end is pure relaxation.
How your skin will look after
Your skin will feel noticeably smoother and look brighter immediately. Some light pinkness may occur, but it fades quickly, usually within a few hours.
Over the next few days, you’ll see continued improvement as your fresh skin settles in. Texture softens, tone evens out, and that overall dullness lifts.

FAQ's
Is microdermabrasion safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, but we adjust the pressure and technique to suit your skin. During your consultation, let us know if you have sensitivities and we’ll tailor the treatment accordingly.
How is this different from a chemical peel?
Microdermabrasion physically exfoliates the skin’s surface, while a chemical peel uses acids to dissolve dead skin. Both improve texture and tone, but microdermabrasion works best for surface concerns. We can help you decide which is right for your skin.
How often should I get this treatment?
For maintenance, once every 4-6 weeks keeps skin smooth and bright. If you’re targeting specific concerns like scarring or deeper texture issues, we may recommend treatments every 2-3 weeks for a series of sessions.
Can I wear makeup after?
Yes, though your skin will look good enough that you might not need it. If you do wear makeup, just make sure it’s clean and wait an hour or so to let your skin settle.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Skip harsh exfoliants or active ingredients (retinol, acids) for 3 days. Use a gentle cleanser, keep your skin well-moisturised, and wear sunscreen daily. Your therapist will give you specific aftercare instructions.
Can this be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. We often pair microdermabrasion with LED therapy, peels, or other treatments depending on your skin goals. Your therapist will recommend the best combinations during your consultation.
