Microdermabrasion remains one of the most popular non-invasive skin treatments in the beauty industry for good reason. It’s quick, effective, and delivers real results. But while many clients are intrigued, they also have questions before committing to a course. At SkinBase, we know how important it is to inform and reassure. So, in this post, we’re answering the most common client questions about SkinBase Microdermabrasion to help you deliver clarity and confidence at every consultation.
Common Client Questions About SkinBase Microdermabrasion
1. What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment, designed to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and unclog pores. Using ultra-fine crystals and a vacuum suction system, this treatment buffs away dull, tired skin to reveal the healthier, more youthful skin beneath. This process stimulates blood flow, collagen production, and cellular renewal, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and revitalised.
2. Is It Suitable For All Skin Types?
Yes, SkinBase Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types and tones. However, we always recommend a full consultation before treatment. For darker skin tones, a lower intensity treatment will be performed at all times, to avoid a lighting effect. Clients with extremely sensitive skin, rosacea, extensive broken capillaries, or certain medical conditions may need to explore alternative treatments.
3. Does the Treatment Hurt?
The Microdermabrasion treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive, and does not hurt at all. Clients describe the sensation as a gentle scratching or vacuum-like feeling on the skin. In fact, many clients find the process relaxing. There’s also no need for downtime post-treatment.
4. Will I See Results Straight Away?
Microdermabrasion is incredibly effective. So yes, you can see and feel results from as soon as the first treatment. The crystals remove any build up of dead cells on the skin, so the treatment area is smoother and healthier – with a SkinBase glow. The results do not stop there. Microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment. If you have a course, as recommended, your SkinBase therapist will increase the intensity of the Microdermabrasion each session, targeting deeper skin concerns for more significant, longer lasting results.
5. What Does MD Treat?
SkinBase Microdermabrasion is highly versatile. It can effectively improve:
- Uneven skin tone and dullness
- Acne and acne scarring
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Congested or oily skin
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
It’s a go-to treatment for clients looking for smoother, healthier, more radiant skin.
6. Is there any downtime?
As mentioned, no, there is no downtime after Microdermabrasion. Clients can return to daily activities immediately. Some redness may occur straight after treatment, but it usually subsides within a few hours.
7. How should I care for my skin after a session?
Post-treatment care is simple but essential. We advise:
- Avoiding heavy makeup, facial waxing, fake tan application, injections, or direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
- Avoiding anti-ageing creams, AHA’s, glycolics, retinol or exfoliating products for 72 hours.
- Using a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and SPF daily. Keeping the skin protected and moisturised enhances results and supports the skin’s natural renewal process.
8. Can it be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely – microdermabrasion works well alongside other treatments like LED therapy or SkinBase Collagen Lift. Find out more about the SkinBase Microdermabrasion combination treatment here.
