Microdermabrasion & Serum Infusions - For a general clean and overall cleaner, brighter complexion
What is a medical microdermabrasion?
Medical Microdermabrasions (MDA) offer the benefits of an entire series of glycolic acid peels without the recovery time of more aggressive peels or laser treatments.
Microdermabrasions use high precision diamond heads to remove dead or redundant skin cells.
It is a mechanical form of skin exfoliation using a collection of abrasive diamond shaped crystals combined with vacuum suction. It exfoliates the upper layers of skin and stimulates collagen growth in the lower layers. The intensity can be varied to suit an individual’s skin concerns, from a light exfoliation to deep resurfacing.
MDA treats:
- Ageing and sun damage
- Acne and congestion; enlarged/congested pores
- Rough, thickened, dull/lifeless skin
- Scarring
- Fine lines
- Maintain overall skin health and rejuvenation
The key benefits are:
- an improvement in skin texture
- more even colouring
- finer lines
- fewer breakouts
- refined pores
- renewed elasticity
- a more youthful appearance

The process is a lunchtime treatment and it’s initially recommended, you begin with five weekly sessions. Although designed to be performed as a course of treatments, some lines, scarring and other severe skin conditions, may take more regular sessions. This can be discussed with you during your consultation. Once the desired results have been achieved, MDA can be performed every 4-6 weeks to maintain the benefits.
Depending on the condition being treated, MDA can vary from a relaxing, mild abrasive sensation to quite an intense grazing for deeper, more stubborn conditions. Treatment intensities can be altered to suit your individual comfort levels to ensure you are never too uncomfortable. This is achieved with little trauma, but with which had previously been unattainable with other techniques
