How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, deep exfoliating treatment that works by running a small, rough surface gently over the skin to buff away dead skin, unclog pores, and stimulate new cell growth. The skin will likely be pink or flushed after this painless treatment, but this will subside within a few hours. Following the treatment your skin will look and feel renewed, with more luminosity and a softer, more supple texture. It is ideal for addressing common skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and acne scars, microdermabrasion delivers immediate, visible results without downtime.

What to Expect

During a microdermabrasion treatment, a specialised device with a fine tip encrusted with crystals is used to gently exfoliate the skin's surface. Simultaneously, a vacuum suctions away dead skin cells and impurities. This process stimulates collagen production, promoting the growth of new skin cells and revealing a smoother, more even complexion.

A typical microdermabrasion session lasts about 45 minutes. The treatment is painless. You may feel a slight tingling or mild abrasion as the device works over your skin.
