Supporting Smoother, Brighter and More Refined-Looking Skin
Microdermabrasion is one of the most trusted and time-proven professional skin resurfacing treatments available — and for good reason. It is a highly effective, non-invasive and remarkably versatile treatment that delivers visible and immediate improvement in skin texture, clarity and overall radiance — with no downtime and no recovery period required.
At its core, microdermabrasion is a controlled mechanical exfoliation treatment that uses a precisely calibrated flow of fine crystals or a diamond-tipped applicator to gently but effectively resurface the outermost layer of the skin — removing dead skin cells, refining pore appearance, smoothing uneven texture and stimulating the skin’s natural renewal processes to reveal the fresher, brighter and healthier-looking skin beneath.
At Symmetry Cosmetic Clinic, microdermabrasion is performed by our experienced skin therapists with a thorough understanding of skin health and professional skin treatment — ensuring that every treatment is precisely calibrated to your individual skin type, condition and goals for a result that is both immediately satisfying and meaningfully beneficial to your long-term skin health.
Whether you are looking to address a specific skin concern, maintain and support the results of other treatments or simply refresh and revitalise your complexion on a regular basis, microdermabrasion is a versatile and consistently rewarding professional skin treatment that suits a wide range of skin types and concerns.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive mechanical skin resurfacing treatment that works by gently abrading the surface of the skin to remove the accumulation of dead skin cells that can dull the complexion, clog pores and contribute to uneven skin texture and tone. By clearing away this outermost layer of dead cells, microdermabrasion immediately reveals the fresher and more radiant skin beneath — while simultaneously stimulating circulation and encouraging the skin’s natural collagen production and renewal processes.
The treatment works on the principle that controlled and consistent removal of the outermost skin layer encourages the skin to respond by accelerating its natural cell turnover — producing new, healthier skin cells more rapidly and supporting a progressively more refined, even and radiant complexion with regular treatment over time.
Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types and can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns — making it one of the most versatile and accessible professional skin treatments available. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a broader skin health program alongside other professional treatments and medical-grade skincare for enhanced and more comprehensive results.
Microdermabrasion is a versatile treatment that can effectively address a broad range of skin concerns including uneven skin texture and roughness, dull and lacklustre complexion, enlarged and congested pores, mild sun damage and uneven skin tone, superficial pigmentation and age spots, fine lines and early signs of skin ageing, blackheads and congested skin, mild acne and acne-prone skin, and crepey skin texture on the face and body. It is also an excellent preparatory treatment prior to other professional skin treatments — enhancing the penetration and efficacy of active ingredients applied during or after the microdermabrasion treatment.
Your microdermabrasion treatment at Symmetry Cosmetic Clinic is a comfortable and relaxing experience from start to finish. Your skin therapist will begin with a thorough cleanse of the skin before performing the microdermabrasion treatment — using a precise and controlled technique that is carefully calibrated to your individual skin type, condition and sensitivity.
The treatment itself feels like a gentle but firm buffing sensation across the skin surface — most people find it comfortable and even enjoy the sensation. The level of intensity applied is always adjusted to suit your individual skin and comfort — ensuring a treatment that is both effective and well-tolerated.
The duration of your microdermabrasion treatment will depend on the area being treated and whether it is being performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader skin health appointment. Your skin therapist will advise on the appropriate treatment parameters for your individual skin during your pre-treatment consultation.
Immediately following your microdermabrasion treatment, your skin will be treated to a complimentary LED light therapy session — using clinically proven wavelengths of light to calm any post-treatment sensitivity, reduce redness, support collagen production and enhance the overall results of your microdermabrasion. Your skin will leave feeling soothed, supported and beautifully refreshed. Sun protection is essential following treatment and your skin therapist will advise on appropriate post treatment skincare to support and extend your results.
1. Skin Consultation and Assessment
Your microdermabrasion treatment begins with a thorough skin consultation and assessment — allowing your therapist to evaluate your skin type, condition and concerns and determine the most appropriate treatment parameters for your individual skin. We take the time to understand your skin health history, your current skincare routine and your treatment goals to ensure your microdermabrasion treatment is precisely tailored to deliver the most beneficial and comfortable experience for your skin.
2. Personalised Treatment Planning
Based on your skin assessment, a personalised treatment plan is developed — recommending the appropriate treatment intensity, frequency and any complementary treatments or skincare that would further support and enhance your results. Microdermabrasion is most effective when performed as part of a consistent and well-considered skin health program, and your therapist will advise on the most appropriate treatment schedule for your individual skin and goals.
3. Professional Microdermabrasion Treatment
Your microdermabrasion treatment is performed with precision and care by your experienced skin therapist — using professional-grade equipment and a carefully calibrated technique that is adjusted to your individual skin type and sensitivity. Your comfort and the health of your skin are the priority at every stage of the treatment.
4. Ongoing Skin Health Support
At the conclusion of your treatment your therapist will provide personalised post treatment skincare recommendations and advise on the most appropriate timing of your next appointment. Regular microdermabrasion treatments — typically recommended at two to four week intervals depending on your skin and goals — deliver progressively improved and cumulative results over time. Where a broader medical-grade skincare program or additional professional treatments would further benefit your skin health, your therapist will discuss the most appropriate options for your individual needs.
