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 decongest the skin. A glycolic peel is the perfect add on to boost your microdermabrasion results.

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.

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 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 like Microneedling or Fractional Laser.

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.

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

Your skin may be pink or even red following your treatment – this is normal and shows us that the treatment is working! This may last from a few minutes up to 24 hours, everyone is different. For some it can feel like a mild sun or wind burn. Some people experience mild flakiness as we have been removing all those dead skin cells. 

Avoid active skincare such as those containing acids, or high doses of vitamin A or C for 24 hours post treatment. 

Make sure to apply SPF protection daily. If you have sensitive skin, do not try any new skincare for 2-3 days post treatment.

Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your doctor) for 3 days post treatment. 

We recommend using a mineral makeup afterwards if you feel you need it. 

As always, get in touch with your clinic if you have any concerns or questions. 

Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types. 

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.

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 a free consultation to get personalised advice on the treatments that would best suit you. You can also read our 101 on Microdermabrasion for Acne for more information.

A casual treatment is $125. Customers on a Reformaskin membership save on every treatment – starting from $28 per week on our payment plan.

After a Microdermabrasion treatment, your skin may be pink or even red following your treatment – this is normal. This may last from a few minutes up to 24 hours. For some, it can feel like a mild sun or wind burn.
