Microdermabrasion
Non-Invasive Skin Exfoliation for Radiance and Clarity
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells using either a diamond-tipped hand-piece or fine crystals. This process reveals fresher, smoother skin beneath and enhances the absorption of skincare products, making it a great option for maintenance or preparation before more intensive treatments.
At Soliman Aesthetics, microdermabrasion is performed by trained professionals and can be customised to suit your skin type, condition, and goals.
Suitable for
Microdermabrasion is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including:
Dull or rough skin texture
Clogged or enlarged pores
Mild pigmentation or uneven skin tone
General skin maintenance between other treatments
It’s a safe and effective way to boost radiance without significant downtime or irritation.
What to Expect
The procedure is painless and non-invasive, with most sessions taking around 30 minutes
The skin is gently exfoliated using a diamond-tip device or crystal-based system
You may feel a light suction or polishing sensation on the skin surface
It can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other facials, masks, or serums for enhanced results
Because there’s no peeling or intense resurfacing, microdermabrasion is often described as a "lunchtime facial" with immediate benefits and minimal disruption to your day.
Aftercare & Recovery
There is no downtime following microdermabrasion, but some minor post-treatment effects and aftercare steps should be followed to protect your skin:
Mild redness or a feeling of tightness may occur, usually resolving within a few hours
Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun—daily SPF and adequate hydration are essential
Avoid active skincare ingredients (like AHAs, BHAs, or retinol) for 2–3 days
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as it can dehydrate the skin and may exacerbate redness
Minimise or avoid smoking and vaping, as nicotine can reduce blood flow and impair the skin’s healing and renewal process
Refrain from heat-based activities (like hot yoga or steam rooms) for 24 hours
Following these steps will help maintain your results and support the skin’s natural barrier post-exfoliation.
Risks & Considerations
Microdermabrasion is generally low-risk and well tolerated. Rare or temporary side effects may include:
Mild redness or flushing
Slight skin tightness or dryness
Rarely, minor irritation if aftercare is not followed
Your practitioner will adjust the intensity of the treatment based on your skin sensitivity and provide you with personalised care advice.
Frequently Asked Questions about Microdermabrasion

Yes. With adjusted pressure and technique, microdermabrasion can be safely performed on sensitive skin types.
Will my skin peel after treatment?
No. Microdermabrasion targets only the surface layer of dead skin cells and does not cause visible peeling.
Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?
Absolutely. It is commonly paired with facials, masks, or hydrating serums to maximise glow and product penetration.
How often should I have it done?
For general maintenance, every 4–6 weeks is ideal. Your skin therapist can recommend the right frequency based on your skin type and routine.
