FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Our MicroDermabrasion Facial

What is a Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. At The Face Lab, diamond-tip microdermabrasion is used alongside gentle suction to leave the complexion smoother, brighter and refreshed.

Is Microdermabrasion suitable for all skin types?

Yes, Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types, including dry, oily, combination and many sensitive skins. Before your treatment, we’ll carry out a consultation to ensure the facial is tailored to your skin’s needs.

What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion?

It can help improve dullness, rough or uneven texture, mild congestion, the appearance of enlarged pores, superficial pigmentation and fine lines.

Does Microdermabrasion hurt?

No. You may feel a gentle scratching or vacuum sensation as the device moves across the skin, but the treatment should not be painful.

How long does a Microdermabrasion Facial take?

Your appointment typically lasts around 60 minutes, allowing enough time to thoroughly cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish your skin.

Will I see results immediately?

Many clients notice their skin feels smoother and looks brighter immediately after their first treatment. A course of treatments may be recommended when targeting specific skin concerns.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last one to two weeks, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and home skincare routine. Regular treatments every 4–6 weeks can help maintain long-term improvements.

Can Mirodermabrasion help acne?

Microdermabrasion may be suitable for some forms of mild congestion or non-inflamed acne, but it should generally be avoided over active, inflamed or cystic acne.

Does microdermabrasion remove blackheads?

The combination of exfoliation and suction can help with surface congestion and clogged pores. However, stubborn blackheads may require additional extraction or other treatments.

Our luxury Microdermabrasion Facial uses advanced diamond-tip exfoliation and gentle suction to deeply exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and surface impurities, revealing smoother, brighter and more radiant-looking skin.

Step 1

Skin Analysis

Every facial at The Face Lab begins with a professional skin analysis to ensure your treatment is tailored specifically to your skin’s unique needs.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type, hydration levels, oil production, texture, pore size, and overall skin health.

We’ll identify any concerns such as acne, congestion, sensitivity, pigmentation, redness, fine lines, or signs of ageing, while discussing your current skincare routine, lifestyle, and any medical considerations that may affect your treatment.

Step 2

Double Cleanse

A double-cleanse with Kaeso hydrating calming cleanser (CeraVe for our sensitive skin queens) to lift makeup and sebum from your skin.

This is accompanied by a gentle steam to open pores and is removed with a hot towel.

Step 3

Blackhead Removal with Sonic Scrubber

To deeply cleanse and refine the skin, we apply Dermalogica Multi-Active Scaling Gel to help soften congestion and loosen stubborn blackheads. Using a professional Sonic Scrubber, gentle ultrasonic vibrations lift away excess oil, dead skin cells and impurities from the pores without the need for harsh squeezing.

Step 6

Face, Neck & Décolleté Massage

A luxurious Hyaluronic Acid Serum is gently massaged into the face, neck and décolletage using slow, relaxing massage techniques to maximise absorption and encourage healthy circulation.

Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture within the skin, helping to deeply hydrate, plump and smooth the complexion while reducing the appearance of dehydration lines.

Tone

The skin is now toned to remove any oil residue and prepare the skin for the next step.

Step 8

LED Red Light Therapy

Relax while a collagen jelly Mask works in harmony with Red LED Light Therapy to deeply nourish and revitalise your skin.

The Mask delivers an intense boost of hydration, helping to soothe, cool and replenish the complexion, while the gentle red LED light supports the skin’s natural collagen production and promotes a firmer, more radiant appearance.

Step 9

Moisturise & SPF

Your facial is completed with a professional moisturiser carefully selected to suit your skin type, helping to lock in hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier.

To finish, a broad-spectrum SPF is applied to shield your freshly treated skin from harmful UV rays and environmental damage.

This essential final step helps protect your results, maintain your healthy glow and keep your skin looking radiant, hydrated and protected long after your appointment.
