What Is Microdermabrasion?

A deep-clean reset for dull, congested, or uneven skin

Microdermabrasion Perth

Think of microdermabrasion as a deep clean that goes well beyond what your daily skincare routine can do.

It’s a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently polish away the outermost layer of dead skin cells. The diamond tip works across your skin’s surface while suction removes loosened cells, congestion, and debris. At Equinox, every session also includes LED light therapy to calm, brighten, and support your skin’s natural recovery.

It’s one of the most popular maintenance treatments we offer — and a great entry point if you’re new to professional skin treatments. No needles, no chemicals, no downtime.

Is Microdermabrasion Right for You?

Microdermabrasion might be just what your skin needs if you’re noticing:

  • Dull, tired-looking skin that’s lost its glow
  • Congestion, blackheads, or enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone or rough texture
  • Early signs of fine lines or surface sun damage
  • Flaky, dry patches that don’t respond to moisturiser alone

It’s suitable for most skin types and there’s genuinely no downtime — many of our clients book during their lunch break and head straight back to work looking fresher than when they left.

Does It Hurt?

Not at all. Most clients describe it as a mild scratching or sandpapery sensation — not painful. It’s one of the gentlest professional exfoliation options available, with no needles, no chemicals, and no downtime.

What Happens During Your Session?

Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect:

Cleanse: Your skin is thoroughly cleaned to remove makeup, oil, and surface debris.

Exfoliation: A diamond-tipped wand is gently guided across your skin, polishing away dead cells while suction lifts them away.

Serums: Tailored active serums may be applied for hydration, brightening, or anti-ageing benefits.

LED: LED light therapy is applied to support skin recovery, calm any redness, and enhance radiance.

Aftercare: SPF and moisturiser are applied. Your skin may feel slightly warm or “wind-burnt” for a few hours — this is completely normal and settles quickly.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

You’ll notice smoother, brighter skin immediately after your first session. For ongoing concerns like congestion, uneven tone, or texture, a course of 4–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for the best results.

Many of our clients maintain results with a monthly session — which is why microdermabrasion is the anchor treatment in our skin membership.

Is microdermabrasion good for acne?
It can help with congestion, blackheads, and surface breakouts by deeply exfoliating and unclogging pores. For active or cystic acne, a consultation is recommended to find the most suitable treatment.
Can I wear makeup after microdermabrasion?
We recommend letting your skin breathe for 12–24 hours after treatment. Mineral makeup can usually be applied the following day.
Is microdermabrasion safe for sensitive skin?
Generally yes, though we’ll assess your skin before treatment. We adjust the intensity to suit your skin type and condition. If you have active rosacea, broken capillaries, or inflamed acne, we may recommend an alternative treatment.
How often should I get microdermabrasion?
Every 4–6 weeks for best results. Many clients include it in their monthly skincare routine.
Does microdermabrasion hurt?
No. Most people describe it as a mild scratching sensation. There are no needles, no chemicals, and no downtime.
Is there any downtime?
No. You may notice mild redness for a few hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most clients return to normal activities immediately.
What’s the difference between microdermabrasion and HydraFacial?
Microdermabrasion focuses on physical exfoliation and surface polishing. HydraFacial adds suction extraction and serum infusion for deeper hydration. Both are effective — the best choice depends on your skin goals.
How long does a session take?
Full face with LED takes about 45 minutes. Full face, neck and décolletage with LED takes about 1 hour.
What should I avoid before and after treatment?
Avoid retinol, AHAs/BHAs, and active exfoliants for 48 hours before and after. Wear SPF daily. Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and intense exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
What does microdermabrasion actually do?
It removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells using a diamond-tipped wand, while suction clears away debris. This reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath and can help reduce the look of congestion, fine lines, and uneven tone. At Equinox, LED light therapy is included in every session to support recovery and enhance radiance.
What’s the difference between microdermabrasion and a chemical peel?
Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation (a diamond-tipped wand), while chemical peels use acid solutions. Microdermabrasion has no downtime; some peels involve light peeling for a few days.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients notice improvement after one session. For ongoing concerns like texture or congestion, a course of 4–6 sessions is often recommended. Monthly maintenance keeps results looking fresh.
Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?
Absolutely. Microdermabrasion pairs well with chemical peels, LED therapy, and many other facial treatments. Your therapist can recommend the best combination for your skin goals.
Is microdermabrasion the same as dermabrasion?
No. Dermabrasion is a much more aggressive surgical procedure. Microdermabrasion is gentle, non-invasive, and requires no recovery time at all.
What if microdermabrasion isn’t right for me?
No problem. We offer a range of exfoliation and skin rejuvenation treatments including chemical peels, HydraFacial, dermaplaning, and skin needling. A free skin consultation can help us work out which option is best for your skin.
