About Microdermabrasion
A great skin pick me up, suitable for everyone
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive resurfacing procedure that employs an abrasive substance (aluminum oxide) that exfoliates the uppermost layers of the skin.
The abrasion using diamond crystals gently removes dead skin cells and skin debris to also stimulate cell renewal, detoxification, and the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
This treatment is commonly used to eliminate various skin imperfections and is a great addon to any laser procedure or simply just on its own for a skin pick me up.

The Science
How Does Microdermabrasion Work?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells, promoting skin regeneration and improving overall texture and appearance. Here’s how it works:
- Exfoliation Process: A microdermabrasion machine operates by using a wand-like device with a rough surface, typically made of fine crystals or a diamond tip, to gently abrade the skin’s surface. Simultaneously, the device employs a suction mechanism that removes the exfoliated dead skin cells while also stimulating blood circulation in the treated area.
- Types of Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion can be performed using two primary methods: Crystal Microdermabrasion, where tiny crystals such as aluminium oxide or sodium bicarbonate are sprayed onto the skin to exfoliate it, with the crystals and dead skin cells then vacuumed away; and Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion, which uses a diamond-tipped wand to abrade the skin. The diamond-tip method is more precise and particularly suitable for sensitive areas like around the eyes.
- Benefits: Microdermabrasion offers multiple skin benefits by removing the outer layer of dead skin, which smooths the skin’s texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and diminishes hyperpigmentation like dark spots and uneven skin tone. Additionally, post-treatment skin becomes more receptive to skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness, while regular treatments can also help minimise the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Procedure: The microdermabrasion procedure begins with cleansing the skin to prepare it for treatment. The device is then gently passed over the skin, a process that typically takes 15 to 45 minutes depending on the area being treated. After the treatment, moisturizers and sunscreens are applied to soothe and protect the skin, with any redness usually subsiding within a few hours.
- Frequency: For optimal results, multiple sessions are often recommended, spaced a few weeks apart.
