Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that gently exfoliates the top layer of skin using either fine crystals or a diamond-tipped handpiece. It removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture, and stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, helping with a variety of skin conditions such as pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, and dull skin.
This treatment can help improve:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Uneven skin tone and rough skin texture
• Age spots and pigmentation
• Mild acne scars and enlarged pores
• Clogged pores and dull-looking skin
Yes, it's generally safe for most skin types and tones. However, people with very sensitive skin, rosacea, or active acne should speak to a skincare specialist to ensure the treatment is suitable. Like microneedling, it may be adapted for darker skin tones, but care should be taken.
There are two main types:
• Crystal microdermabrasion: uses aluminium oxide or sodium bicarbonate crystals
• Crystal-free microdermabrasion: uses a diamond-tipped wand
Both are effective and safe when performed by trained professionals.
It’s ideal for clients looking to:
• Brighten skin tone
• Improve skin texture
• Minimise acne scars or pores
• Lighten mild pigmentation
However, anyone using certain medications (e.g., isotretinoin) or with a skin infection should avoid treatment until cleared by a dermatologist.
Most people describe it as a light brushing or scratching sensation. It's usually painless and well tolerated. Some even find it relaxing, like a deep exfoliating facial.
A typical treatment lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, with no downtime—perfect for a lunch time refresh.
You may experience slight redness or tightness, like a mild sun burn. These effects usually fade within a few hours. The skin may appear smoother, more radiant, and better hydrated. For best results, use SPF and gentle skin care post-treatment.
While a single session offers an instant glow, a course of treatment—usually 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart—is recommended for best results, especially when treating pigmentation, fine lines, or acne scars.
Yes. The exfoliation helps fade mild pigmentation by removing the outer layer of skin and revealing fresher skin beneath. More stubborn discolouration may benefit from combining microdermabrasion with microneedling or peels.
Side effects are usually mild and short-lived:
• Redness or tightness
• Dryness or flaking
• Slight tingling
These settle quickly, especially when following aftercare guidelines.
Microdermabrasion pricing varies by clinic and location, but you can expect to pay between £60 and £100 per session. Many clinics offer discounts for multiple sessions booked as a course of treatment.
For best results:
• Avoid sun exposure, waxing, and exfoliants for 3–5 days before treatment
• Stop using active ingredients (e.g., retinol)
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
Your practitioner will provide personalised instructions based on your skin type.
• Microdermabrasion exfoliates the outermost layer using a roller or wand and doesn’t penetrate below the surface.
• Microneedling uses a device with tiny needles to penetrate the skin, triggering collagen induction therapy and treating deeper issues like scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles.
Both are effective but serve different purposes.
Microdermabrasion gently removes the top layer of the skin’s surface, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin beneath. This cosmetic procedure helps improve overall skin tone and texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and promotes collagen production.
The effects of microdermabrasion include brighter, smoother skin, improved absorption of skincare products, and less noticeable blemishes and pores. It’s often used to renew overall skin tone and refresh dull complexions.
Side effects of microdermabrasion may include mild redness, sensitivity, dryness, or flaking. These are temporary and typically resolve within a day. Your healthcare professional may recommend aftercare and sun protection to help recovery.
Microneedling is better for deeper skin concerns like scars and stretch marks, while microdermabrasion is gentler and ideal for surface-level concerns such as dullness or uneven skin tone. A dermatologist can advise the perfect treatment based on your skin goals.
No, although both exfoliate the skin’s surface, microdermabrasion uses a specialised instrument to gently sand away dead cells, while shaving removes hair and some surface skin. Dermaplaning is closer to shaving but still differs in technique.
Dermaplaning is generally safe but may cause minor irritation, breakouts, or sensitivity if not done properly. Those with active acne should consult a dermatology expert before trying it.
People typically begin getting microdermabrasion in their 20s or 30s to maintain a glowing complexion. It’s suitable for anyone looking for a skincare treatment to help improve the appearance of their skin without a nonsurgical procedure.
You should avoid microdermabrasion if you have active skin infections, open wounds, rosacea, or are taking medications like isotretinoin. Always consult a dermatologist before undergoing microdermabrasion to avoid an increased risk of complications.
You can usually have another microdermabrasion after 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your skin’s response. Overdoing it can damage the area of skin, so spacing treatments out is best.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons considers microdermabrasion a safe, minimally invasive procedure with little recovery time. It’s a popular cosmetic treatment that can be used to renew overall skin tone and reduce mild skin imperfections.
A microdermabrasion procedure includes cleansing the skin, exfoliating with a diamond-tip or crystal device, vacuum suction, and post-treatment hydration and SPF. The procedure can help reveal smoother, more radiant skin in just your first treatment.
The average cost of microdermabrasion in the UK is typically £60–£100 per session. Pricing depends on the clinic, location, and whether it’s combined with other treatments.
Dermabrasion is a more aggressive resurfacing treatment that removes deeper layers of the skin and requires more downtime. A dermatologist may recommend dermabrasion for deeper scars or severe sun damage, but it has a higher risk of complications than microdermabrasion, which is considered gentler.
