SkinBase microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped handpiece to physically exfoliate the skin's surface, removing dead cells and debris that leave it looking dull and feeling rough. The result is smoother texture, more even tone, and noticeably clearer skin — usually visible after the first session, with no recovery time needed.
Book Your SkinBase Microdermabrasion Treatment
Diamond-tipped technology works differently to scrubs or chemical exfoliants — it physically removes the surface layer of dead cells in a controlled, consistent way, leaving skin noticeably smoother after just one session.
Skin feels different the moment the treatment finishes. Smoother to touch, clearer-looking, and more receptive to whatever you put on it next.
A single treatment can improve texture, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, soften fine lines, fade superficial pigmentation, and shift general dullness. Not every concern resolves fully in one session, but most people notice improvement across several areas.
The pinkness and sensitivity settle within a few hours. Most people go straight back to normal activities, and makeup can usually be worn again the following day.
Your treatment starts with a brief consultation to assess your skin and confirm microdermabrasion is the right fit. The diamond-tipped handpiece then glides across your face in overlapping passes, gently abrading the surface while suction pulls away the loosened dead cells and debris. You'll feel a light scratching sensation alongside the suction — most people find it comfortable, sometimes even relaxing. The pressure and abrasion are adjusted throughout to suit your skin's sensitivity. Sessions run either 30 or 60 minutes depending on the protocol, with the longer treatment allowing more thorough exfoliation and additional passes. Immediately after, skin will look slightly pink and feel a little sensitive — similar to mild windburn — which usually settles within a few hours. Texture improves straight away. Pores look tighter, skin feels genuinely smooth, and there's a noticeable clarity boost. For best results, most clients book a course of 6 to 10 treatments, weekly or fortnightly, with monthly maintenance sessions to keep the results going.
With the surface layer cleared, serums and moisturisers absorb more readily. It's a noticeable difference — products that previously sat on top of the skin start doing more.
The controlled exfoliation triggers the skin's natural repair response. Over a course of treatments, this gradually increases collagen and elastin production, contributing to firmer skin and softer lines.
The abrasion and suction levels can be adjusted to suit different skin types and sensitivities. It works well for most people, though we'll confirm suitability during your consultation.
The improvement builds across a course of treatments as cell turnover speeds up and collagen production increases. By sessions six to eight, most clients see a meaningful difference in overall skin quality.

"For longer than I can remember I’ve felt honestly quite low about how my eyebrows seemed to me, having had children it’s taken me so long to prioritise things for myself occasionally and I’m just so happy I finally did, I feel like a new woman, it’s helped me feel more confident. So happy and had such a lovely chat with Sam, who was so helpful talking to me about this first recently and giving great advice on what’s best to do"
