01
Dullness & surface texture
Lacklustre skin, dry patches, surface roughness, the gradual buildup of dead cells that no daily exfoliant quite gets to. Microdermabrasion lifts that — and your skin reads brighter immediately.
A controlled, gentle exfoliation that lifts dead cells and stimulates fresh ones. Excellent on its own — and an ideal first step before a peel or facial.

What it is
Mechanical, not chemical. Gentle, not slow.
Microdermabrasion is the most accessible of our resurfacing treatments. A handheld device with a fine diamond tip gently exfoliates the upper layer of skin while a calm vacuum lifts the loosened cells away. The result is immediate softness, brightness, and a noticeable improvement in how your skincare absorbs after.
It's mechanical, not chemical. No acids, no anaesthetic, no recovery. Many clients say their skin feels softer than they remember it feeling — and brighter than any regular facial has left them.
It's also our most universally tolerated active treatment. Where peels and microneedling need careful suitability checks, microdermabrasion is a reasonable starting point for most adult skin types and tones — and an excellent maintenance treatment between deeper sessions.
What it's for
Where microdermabrasion shines.
Microdermabrasion is a "thoughtful first step" for skin new to professional treatments — and a quiet maintenance treatment for skin that's already in a rhythm. Here's where it does its best work.
02
Mild congestion
Clogged pores, mild blackheads, the kind of congestion that stops short of needing a peel. The vacuum step lifts impurities gently — without picking, scrubbing, or aggravating.
03
Glow & first treatments
A quiet glow before a wedding, a holiday, an important event. And the right place to begin if you've never had professional skin care before — gentle, predictable, with results you'll feel before you leave.
What to expect
The most relaxed of our active treatments.
No anaesthetic, no recovery, no day-after. Most clients walk out, head into their day, and notice the change in the mirror that night.
01
Cleanse & prep
A thorough cleanse to clear the surface, then a gentle prep so the skin is ready. About ten minutes. We agree on the area and the intensity before we begin.
02
The pass
The diamond-tip handpiece moves over your skin in careful passes. The sensation is gentle — somewhere between a soft scratch and a calm vacuum. Many clients find it deeply relaxing. About 25 minutes.
03
Finish & protect
A nourishing serum, sometimes a calming mask, finished with hydration and SPF. Skin feels softer, looks brighter, and absorbs everything better. You walk out ready for your day.
Frequency & rhythm
A monthly, intentional ritual.
Once a month is the rhythm most clients settle into. The skin renews on roughly a 28-day cycle, and microdermabrasion supports that cycle without overworking it.
Some clients alternate microdermabrasion with our H2Glow facial across the year — different mechanisms, complementary effects. Others use it as the thoughtful start to a deeper plan, before moving into peels or microneedling.
For pre-event glow, the sweet spot is five to seven days before — long enough to settle, fresh enough to show.
Suitability
The most universally suited of our active treatments — and still, suitability is the first conversation.
Most adult skin types and tones suit microdermabrasion. Active acne, very thin or sensitised skin, recent procedures, and certain medications change the plan. We take a careful history at the consultation and only proceed when we're confident it's the right fit for your skin that day.
You might also consider
Treatments that pair well.
Microdermabrasion is a beautiful entry point — and pairs naturally with each of these as your skin journey deepens. Discussed at your consultation if relevant.
H2Glow facial
A different approach to surface care — vortex cleanse and infusion, where microdermabrasion is mechanical exfoliation. Many clients alternate the two through the year.
Chemical Peel
The natural next step when your skin is ready for chemistry. Targets pigmentation, texture, and ageing at depths microdermabrasion doesn't reach.
Microneedling
For deeper renewal — fine lines, texture, real change. The destination treatment for skin that's already been gently prepared by microdermabrasion.
Ready to begin?
If this is your first professional skin treatment, microdermabrasion is a beautiful place to start. The first appointment is a conversation, and the first treatment is gentle, predictable, and reassuring.
