Mechanical exfoliation of the outer skin layer. Simple, reliable, no downtime, and genuinely useful for the things it is actually for.
An old treatment that still earns its place, provided nobody claims it does more than it does.
Microdermabrasion mechanically removes the outermost layer of dead skin using a controlled abrasive tip and vacuum. That immediately improves brightness and smoothness, and it helps anything applied afterwards penetrate better.
It is a surface treatment and it is honest about that. Dullness, rough texture and mild congestion respond well. Scarring, deep lines and pigment sitting in the deeper skin do not, and we will point you elsewhere for those rather than sell a course.
What it treats
And a few things they do not. If your concern is not here, the consultation is where we work out what would actually help.
Skin and ResurfacingThe main indication, with visible improvement from the first session.
Surface blockage and blackheads.
Frequently used before a course of peels or as part of a longer programme.
Removing surface build up genuinely improves how well actives penetrate.
The back and chest, where it is often more practical than other options.
How it works
Four steps, in this order. Nothing is treated until it has been assessed, and nothing is repeated until it has been reviewed.
We confirm this is the right level of treatment. If your concern is deeper, we say so rather than starting a course that cannot address it.
Results
Skin looks brighter immediately. Mild pinkness for an hour or two. Makeup can be applied the same day.
Texture feels noticeably smoother and products absorb better.
The course continues, with cumulative improvement in tone and texture.
Most people maintain at this interval, often alongside other treatments.

When we say no
We do not treat in these situations, and we will say so in the consultation, which you are not charged for.
Questions
For dullness, rough texture and mild congestion, yes. It is reliable, comfortable and has no downtime. For anything deeper there are better tools and we will recommend them.
Microdermabrasion removes surface cells mechanically. A peel works chemically and can be taken deeper. Peels do more, with more downtime.
Four to six, two to four weeks apart, then maintenance. Improvement is cumulative.
No. It feels like a mild sandpaper texture with gentle suction. Most people find it comfortable.
Yes, the same day, though skin is more sun sensitive so protection matters.
No. Scarring needs microneedling or resurfacing, and we would rather direct you there.
