A non-invasive resurfacing facial that lifts dead skin, unclogs pores, and brightens dull tone. 30 to 45 minutes, no downtime, safe for most skin types.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive resurfacing facial that mechanically exfoliates the outermost layer of skin. A diamond-tipped applicator passes over the face while gentle vacuum suction lifts away dead cells and debris, leaving a smoother, brighter surface.
Sessions take 30 to 45 minutes with no downtime. Most clients leave with softer texture and a noticeable glow the same day. Over a series of treatments, regular sessions can help fade superficial dark spots and minimise the look of fine lines and enlarged pores.
Mechanical exfoliation reaches more than a daily cleanser ever will. Here's what regular sessions typically improve:
Removing dead surface cells lifts dullness and evens out the feel of your skin within one session.
Repeated exfoliation can soften the look of superficial fine lines over a series of sessions. Deeper wrinkles need a different treatment.
Vacuum suction lifts debris from clogged pores so they look smaller and trap less buildup between visits.
Surface-level discoloration from sun, scarring, or post-acne marks gradually lifts with regular treatments.
Freshly exfoliated skin lets serums and moisturizers reach deeper layers, so your home routine works harder.
Non-invasive and adjustable in intensity. Not recommended during active acne breakouts, rosacea flares, or while on Accutane.
A four-step protocol that takes about 30 to 45 minutes and lets you leave with refreshed, glowing skin.
Your esthetician checks your skin, talks through your concerns, and removes makeup and surface oils.

What microdermabrasion realistically does, on what schedule. Results build over a series of sessions.
Immediate effects from removing the dead surface layer:
Freshly exfoliated skin gets more out of every product:
Cumulative effects become noticeable with a series:
Best results show after completing the recommended series:
For visible cumulative results, plan on 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, then maintain with one session every 2 to 3 months.
It works best for surface-level concerns. If you recognise any of these, you're a good candidate:
Brings back the brightness daily cleansing alone can't reach.
Softens the look of early lines from sun exposure and dryness.
Smooths surface texture and gradually fades shallow scarring.
Vacuum suction lifts trapped debris so pores look cleaner and finer.
Fades superficial sun damage and dark patches over a series.
Mechanical exfoliation evens out the feel of dry or congested skin.

The way you prep beforehand and care for your skin afterwards has more impact on results than the treatment itself.
Prepare your skin for optimal results
Limit sun exposure and use SPF 30+ daily. Avoid tanning beds.
Discontinue retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliating products.
Avoid waxing, threading, or depilatory creams on treatment area.
Arrive with clean skin, no makeup. Stay hydrated.
Protect and maintain your results
Apply gentle moisturizer and SPF 30+ immediately after treatment.
Use only mild, fragrance-free products. Avoid makeup if possible.
Skip exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients. Avoid saunas and hot yoga.
Daily SPF 30+ is essential. Wear a hat outdoors for extra protection.
Drink plenty of water before and after your treatment to support skin healing
Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water for 24-48 hours post-treatment
Don't pick or scratch your skin if mild peeling occurs - this is normal
Schedule treatments 2-4 weeks apart for best cumulative results
Inform your esthetician of any new medications or skin changes

No. Most clients describe it as a light scratching sensation, similar to a cat's tongue on the skin. There's no anaesthetic involved and most people find it relaxing once they're a few minutes in.
30 to 45 minutes from cleanse to finishing SPF. You can come on a lunch break and head straight back to work or other plans.
No. Skin may look slightly pink for a few hours, like a mild flush, but it fades the same day. Makeup is fine afterwards, though many clients prefer to skip it for the first 24 hours.
Plan on 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart for visible cumulative results, then maintain with one session every 2 to 3 months. You'll see the first improvement after session one, but cumulative changes show up after a few visits.
It works for most skin types and tones. We adjust intensity based on your skin, sensitivity, and recent product use. It's not recommended during active acne, rosacea flares, recent sunburn, or while on Accutane.
Microdermabrasion pairs well with chemical peels and LED light therapy, but the order and spacing matters. We'll plan a schedule that gets you the best result without irritating your skin.
Smoother texture and a brighter look are noticeable after the first session. Bigger changes like fading dark spots or softer fine lines start to show after 2 to 3 sessions.
Mild and short-lived. Some pinkness, slight sensitivity, or dryness for 24 to 48 hours. Apply moisturizer, daily SPF, and skip exfoliants and retinoids for a few days.
Call or message us. We're happy to walk through what's right for your skin.
Resurfacing depth and pressure are subjective. The difference between a flat, irritated result and a glowing one comes down to the hands holding the wand.
Certified, experienced, and trained to read your skin in real time. Pressure and stroke length adjust as the session progresses, so you leave glowing and not irritated.
Every session starts with a look at your skin and a question about what's changed since last time. The treatment intensity is set for the day, not a default protocol.
We use a professional diamond-tipped wand with adjustable vacuum suction, which gives a more even result than older crystal systems and is cleaner between clients.
You leave with a written aftercare plan and a clear answer on when to book the next session. Questions in between are welcome by phone or message.
A single microdermabrasion is a great refresh. A series is where the real change shows up.
