Microdermabrasion
A gentle physical polish for dull, congested skin — no downtime, immediate glow.
What it is
Microdermabrasion uses a fine, controlled abrasion (either crystals or a diamond tip) to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin. The result is an immediate brightening — useful before a specific event, or as a regular surface polish to support other treatments.
It is the most no-downtime option in our face-treatment menu, and the most modest in its results. Best thought of as a refresh rather than a transformation.
What it treats
- Dull skin and uneven texture

- Pre-event glow
How it works
- 1 Skin is cleansed.

FAQs
Is it good for acne?
Not for active acne — the abrasion can spread bacteria. For mild congestion without active inflammation, yes. For active acne, salicylic peels are usually a better starting point.
How often can I do it?
Every 2–4 weeks if you find it useful as a regular ritual. Most clients use it as an event preparation rather than a routine.
