Who it’s for

Ideal for dull, tired, congested or uneven skin that needs an instant refresh. It is also a beautiful pre-event facial, helping make-up sit more smoothly and skin appear brighter and more polished.

Not ideal if

Active cystic acne, open lesions, recent sunburn, or immediately after stronger skin procedures. If this treatment is not suitable, we will guide you towards a better option.

The science behind skin polishing

As natural cell turnover slows, dead skin cells can accumulate on the surface, leaving the complexion looking dull, uneven and tired.

Professional microdermabrasion gently removes this superficial layer, encouraging a smoother skin surface while improving the absorption of active skincare ingredients. The result is brighter tone, refined texture and a fresher, healthier-looking glow.
