How does Microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that helps to restore a youthful glow to the skin by gently removing the outer layer of your skin, including dull, dead skin cells. Think of it as a very gentle form of sanding - It works by blowing fine crystals onto the skin and sucking away the thicker, uneven outer layer, revealing fresher-looking skin below. The crystals are gently worked into your skin using a handheld device operated by a skincare expert in-clinic. This process encourages circulation and skin cell renewal and is used to treat skin discolouration, pigmentation, sun damage and even stretch marks! It’s also a very effective treatment for fine scars, including acne scars.

Microdermabrasion Treatment Benefits

Controls breakouts

Microdermabrasion clears congested skin and refines pores to help reduce blackheads and blemishes

Increases cell turnover for smoother skin

Microdermabrasion treatments help to clear the complexion by gently removing dead surface cells

Stimulates collagen production for healthy skin

With regular treatments your skin tone and texture will continue to improve as the skin cells produce more collagen. This collagen production also helps to plump up the skin and your depressed acne scars.

Instant results with no downtime

Expect to see noticeable results immediately after your microdermabrasion treatment, your skin will feel more supple and refreshed. 

Microdermabrasion For Acne

Microdermabrasion can help improve skin texture - and as a result, it can also help reduce the appearance of most acne scarring and discolouration caused by acne scars. It is not recommended to have microdermabrasion while you have active breakouts.

Read our blog about microdermabrasion for acne scarring.

Microdermabrasion For Wrinkles

Microdermabrasion can help improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production which can help soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles and reduce signs of premature ageing.

 Microdermabrasion is a great way to prepare the skin for our advanced skin conditioning treatments likeMicroneedlingorFractional Laser.

What Customers Say About Microdermabrasion

Real Skin, Real Results

My face felt clean and refreshed!

My Beauty Therapist was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. During the treatment, the products felt like they were penetrating into my face directly as opposed to fighting thorough the dead skin I earlier had. After the treatment, I was very relaxed and my face felt clean and refreshed.
Ana

My skin felt amazingly soft and smooth

It wasn't painful, just unusual and tickled in some areas! My skin felt amazingly soft and smooth after the treatment, my therapist was amazing too! I am really happy with the results and would definitely recommend this to a friend. I hope to have this treatment every 4-6 weeks now!
Sophie

My skin started to feel softer and softer

I had never had a Microdermabrasion before, but after having my consultation and treatment, I am definitely more aware of my skin. After a few days, my skin started to feel softer and softer. I'd love to get this treatment a few times a year now.

Microdermabrasion Before & After

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a skin exfoliation treatment which uses fine crystals that are blown onto the skin’s surface under pressure and suctioned away simultaneously. This process encourages circulation and skin cell renewal. Microdermabrasion can also help to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and de-congest the skin. A glycolic peel is the perfect add on to boost your microdermabrasion results.

What does Microdermabrasion do?

Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells on the surface of your skin and can help reduce the appearance of large pores and clear congested skin to reveal fresher looking skin.

What does Microdermabrasion treatment feel like? 

You might experience a slight discomfort but the treatment doesn’t hurt. Minor redness and a ‘tender’ feeling immediately after a Microdermabrasion is normal, but these sensations will go away on their own.

How long does Microdermabrasion take? 

Microdermabrasion is one of our Skin Conditioning treatment options at Caci. These appointments take 30 minutes.

Is Microdermabrasion suitable for me?

Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types. 

When will I see results after a Microdermabrasion treatment? 

You will notice your skin feels refreshed immediately after each microdermabrasion treatment. Your skin will have a more youthful glow and look more vibrant right after the treatment. A few weeks after the treatment, you may notice your skin tone and texture improving as the skin cells produce more collagen. This collagen production also helps to plump up the skin and your depressed acne scars. Because your skin renews on about a 30-day cycle, you may begin to see a decline in the effects of the treatment after this length of time post-treatment. Many of our customers see excellent results with a personalised skincare plan that offers regular microdermabrasion treatments alongside other conditioning treatments. For best results, we recommend ongoing skin conditioning treatments to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Does Microdermabrasion work for blemishes, blackheads and acne? 

By stimulating cell turnover, Microdermabrasion can help improve skin texture - and as a result, it can also help reduce the appearance of acne scarring, refine your pores, and help improve blemishes. However, for active acne, we recommend coming in for afree consultationto get personalised advice on the treatments that would best suit you. You can also read our101on Microdermabrasion for Acne for more information.
