What Is It?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a fine-tipped instrument to abrade the superficial skin layer or spray microcrystals to polish the skin. It improves texture, mild pigmentation, enlarged pores, and dull complexion with no downtime.

How It Works

A diamond-tip handpiece or microcrystal spray is moved across the skin surface while a vacuum simultaneously removes the exfoliated cells. The treatment is superficial and targets only the stratum corneum (outermost skin layer). A series of monthly treatments achieves cumulative improvement.

Realistic Results

Immediately smoother, more even skin texture and improved radiance. Monthly sessions maintain the improvement over time. Microdermabrasion is a maintenance treatment — it does not achieve the depth of improvement of chemical peels or laser.

Recovery

No downtime. Mild redness for 1–2 hours. Sun protection advised after treatment.

Questions to Ask Before Booking
