Hydro dermabrasion, a non-invasive treatment, stands out from microdermabrasion due to its gentle approach. It employs a water stream and exfoliating serums to eliminate dead skin cells, unveiling a more radiant and smoother complexion. This distinct method successfully addresses skin issues like fine lines, skin tone irregularities, and enlarged pores. Unlike microdermabrasion, hydro dermabrasion is suitable for most skin types, even sensitive skin. Moreover, it provides the added advantage of hydrating the skin during the treatment itself.
We offer this treatment as a 30 minute facial and a hand, arm and head massage.

Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the skin using water and suction, making it a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. It can reduce the redness and appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and dark spots, leaving you with a rejuvenated and youthful glow.
During a microdermabrasion treatment, a handheld device gently exfoliates the skin. This device can either use a stream of water to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. The hydra dermabrasion pen is carefully guided across the skin, targeting areas of concern such as acne scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
Exfoliation eliminates dead skin cells and encourages blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, enhancing a healthy and radiant complexion. The device's suction mechanism also aids in clearing pores and minimising the visibility of blackheads and whiteheads. Consequently, the skin becomes smoother, appears more radiant, and feels more youthful.
By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion helps smooth out rough skin texture. It minimises acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. The process of exfoliation encourages the development of new, rejuvenated skin cells, leading to a more youthful and smoother appearance.
Enhanced Skincare Product Absorption
After a microdermabrasion treatment, the absorption of skincare products is significantly improved by removing dead skin cells. This means moisturisers, serums, and other skincare essentials penetrate further into the skin, delivering their active ingredients efficiently.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation
Microdermabrasion can help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, age spots, or melasma. The exfoliation process targets the areas of pigmentation, gradually lightening them and creating a more even skin tone.
Unclogs Pores and Reduces Acne
Microdermabrasion devices' suction mechanism helps unclog pores and remove trapped dirt, oil, and debris. By effectively cleaning out the pores, microdermabrasion can reduce the frequency of acne breakouts and help control oil production.
Boosts Collagen Production
Exfoliating encourages the body to produce collagen, a crucial protein that gives skin firmness and flexibility. Increased collagen levels can minimise the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leading to smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

Microdermabrasion is typically safe and appropriate for all skin types. Nevertheless, seeking advice from a skincare expert or dermatologist is crucial to ascertain if it's the proper treatment for your skin issues.
While microdermabrasion is generally well-tolerated, individuals with certain skin conditions or sensitivities may need caution. For example, microdermabrasion may not be recommended if you have active acne, rosacea, eczema, or open wounds. Furthermore, people with sensitive skin or a history of keloid scarring should consult a professional before undergoing microdermabrasion.
It is worth noting that different types of microdermabrasion devices and techniques are available to cater to various skin types and concerns. Your skincare specialists can recommend the most suitable option for your specific needs.
Before undergoing a microdermabrasion treatment, you can take a few steps to ensure optimal results. These pre-treatment preparations will help maximise the procedure's benefits and minimise potential side effects.
Consultation with a skincare professional
Arrange a meeting with our skincare specialist to discuss your objectives and decide if microdermabrasion is the right treatment for you. They will examine your skin type and condition, as well as any underlying issues, to develop a personalised treatment plan.
Avoid excessive sun exposure.
It's crucial to avoid it prior to your microdermabrasion session. Sunburned or recently tanned skin may be extra sensitive to irritation while undergoing the treatment. If you must be outdoors in the sun, wear sun protection cream with a high SPF to shield your skin.
Discontinue certain skincare products.
Some skincare products, such as retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs, can increase skin sensitivity and may need to be temporarily discontinued before your microdermabrasion treatment. Follow your skincare professional's recommendations on when to stop using these products to ensure the best outcome.
Cleanse your skin
On the treatment day, cleanse your skin thoroughly, removing any makeup, dirt, or oil. Clean skin allows the microdermabrasion device to effectively exfoliate the skin without any barriers, ensuring optimal results.
Communicate any concerns
If you have any problems or questions about the procedure, do not hesitate to communicate them with your skincare professional. They are there to guide you through the process and address any worries.
By following these pre-treatment preparations, you can ensure that your skin is in the best condition to undergo microdermabrasion, allowing you to achieve the desired results more effectively.
The microdermabrasion process typically involves several steps to ensure a thorough and effective treatment. The procedures will vary depending on the client's needs or the technique used; here is a general overview of what to expect during a microdermabrasion treatment:
Cleansing
The treatment area gets cleaned to eliminate dirt, oil, or makeup residue. This process guarantees that the skin is fresh and prepared for exfoliation.
Exfoliation
The handheld device exfoliates the skin using water and suction. It is gently moved across the skin, targeting specific areas of concern. The exfoliation effectively removes the dead skin cells, revealing fresh, new skin underneath.
Suction
The device exfoliates the skin and provides gentle suction that removes the exfoliated skin cells and unclogs pores. This suction mechanism helps to clear out any debris and stimulate blood circulation.
Moisturisation
After the exfoliation and suction, a moisturiser or serum may be applied to hydrate and nourish the skin. This step helps to replenish the skin's moisture barrier and soothe any potential redness or irritation.
Sun Protection
Newly exposed skin cells are protected by a high SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen. Sun protection is crucial after a microdermabrasion treatment, as the new skin cells are more sensitive to the sun's harmful rays.
