Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that meticulously exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the epidermis. Using a specialised device that combines gentle abrasion with suction removes the skin's outer layer to reveal the softer, more radiant skin beneath. Unlike more aggressive treatments, microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types and tones, offering a safe and controlled method of skin resurfacing that can help diminish a wide range of skin concerns.
The treatment begins with a personalised skin assessment by our skin care professionals, ensuring the procedure is customised to address your specific concerns. This is followed by thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove any makeup or impurities and preparing it for treatment. The microdermabrasion process itself involves a hand-held device gently moving across the skin. This device exfoliates the surface while its vacuum suction feature removes dead skin cells.
After the microdermabrasion, a moisturiser and sunscreen are applied to hydrate the skin and protect it from UV exposure post-treatment. This minimally invasive procedure is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes, and requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
We advise keeping your skin well-hydrated and applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect the newly exposed dead skin cells from sun damage. Avoiding harsh skincare products and exfoliants for a few days after treatment can also help prevent irritation.
Typically, patients notice an immediate improvement in their skin's texture and appearance following the first session. For optimal and sustained results, a series of treatments, usually spaced two to four weeks apart, is recommended.
Regular maintenance sessions can help preserve the skin's rejuvenated appearance, keeping it smooth, bright, and youthful.
