Salon Spotlight: Bodyology

Based in West Yorkshire, Lindsay moved into the beauty industry after working as a personal trainer and mindset coach. She brings her wider health and wellbeing experience into the way she supports her clients.

Alongside Microdermabrasion, Lindsay also offers SkinBase Hydro, Collagen Lift and Intense Pulsed Light to her clients. While these professional treatments are an important part of Lindsay’s approach, she also encourages clients to consider the everyday factors that may influence how their skin looks and feels.

SkinBase Microdermabrasion: Treating Sarah’s Skin Concerns

Before beginning her SkinBase journey, Sarah had a range of skin concerns and signs of inflammation, from mild rosacea and puffiness to red patches and an uneven skin tone. Her skin often appeared reactive, particularly during periods of stress, and her confidence had started to suffer. Lindsay noted: ‘she just lost her spark and she really wanted to get it back.’

The Microdermabrasion Consultation

A professional consultation is important before every SkinBase treatment, but it was particularly significant for Sarah because of her mild rosacea and sensitive, reactive skin. Lindsay carefully assessed Sarah’s skin before beginning treatment, and knew that she could work gently and carefully around the mild rosacea symptoms. She also highlighted that Sarah’s commitment to achieving results was what made her realise that she was the perfect candidate for SkinBase microdermabrasion.

A Well-Rounded Approach to Skin Rejuvenation

When it comes to non-surgical treatments, a well-rounded approach is key to achieving the best results. Alongside her Microdermabrasion appointments, Sarah made some manageable changes to support her general wellbeing and better understand her individual triggers.

She reduced her alcohol intake, drank more water, ate more consistently and became more aware of how stress affected her. These habits complemented her course of professional treatments and helped Sarah establish greater consistency in her routine.

Sarah’s Microdermabrasion Results

As Sarah progressed through her course of SkinBase Microdermabrasion treatments, Lindsay reported visible improvements in the overall appearance of her complexion.

Her skin appeared:

Less red and patchy
More even in tone
Smoother and fresher
Less puffy
Calmer and more consistent in appearance

However, the most important change was how Sarah felt. With every treatment, her confidence grew. Lindsay says her confidence ‘lifted session by session’ and now continues to ‘shine through every time she has a treatment’.

Microdermabrasion Before & Afters: The Importance of Tracking Progress

Before-and-after photographs helped Sarah see changes that could have been difficult to notice from one day to the next. They also allowed Lindsay to monitor how Sarah’s skin responded throughout the treatment journey.

For accurate progress photographs, Lindsay recommends using:

The same lighting (natural daylight where possible)
The same angle and distance
A clean face without makeup
A relaxed facial expression

A Transformation Worth Celebrating

The Microdermabrasion journey earned both Lindsay and Sarah a place in the SkinBase Transformation of the Year 2026 final.

“It honestly feels incredible,” Lindsay says. “It’s like validation for the way I work, treating the whole person and not just the skin. I’m super proud of my client and her commitment and I’m proud of the transformation that we achieved together. Now she has the most glowing skin and she feels so confident, she has really got her spark back.”

The recognition has also boosted Lindsay’s confidence in her business and in treating her clients.
