What is Skin Polishing (Microdermabrasion)?
Microdermabrasion, often called skin polishing, uses a diamond-tipped or crystal handpiece with gentle suction to buff away the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This unclogs pores, smooths rough texture and helps the skin absorb skincare products better.
Because it is gentle and non-chemical, skin polishing suits most skin types and can be done in a lunch break. It is often combined with a peel, serum infusion or hydrating mask for a more noticeable result.

How the Treatment Works

The skin is cleansed to remove makeup, oil and impurities.
Polishing
The handpiece gently exfoliates the skin with controlled suction.
Mask or serum
A hydrating or brightening serum or mask is applied, chosen for your skin.
Sunscreen
Moisturiser and sunscreen are applied to protect the fresh skin.
