Introduction
Want instantly glowing, smoother skin without needles or downtime? Microdermabrasion, also known as skin polishing, is a non-invasive treatment that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and boosts skin radiance. At Urban Skin and Hair Clinic, our advanced skin polishing services are designed to give you brighter, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin — in just one session!
What is Microderma Abrasion/ Skin Polishing?
Microdermabrasion is a safe, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the outermost layer of your skin using a diamond-tip applicator or crystal spray. This painless process reveals fresh new skin underneath and promotes the natural regeneration of skin cells and collagen production.
Causes of Dull and Uneven Skin Texture (Why You May Need Skin Polishing)
- Buildup of Dead Skin Cells: Makes skin look dull, rough, and tired.
- Clogged Pores: Leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and uneven skin tone.
- Sun Damage: Causes pigmentation, dark spots, and premature aging.
- Pollution & Dust: Clogs skin, causing roughness and a tired appearance.
- Ageing Skin: Slower cell turnover leads to a lack of radiance.
- Improper Skincare Routine: Not exfoliating regularly allows debris to accumulate.

Microderma Abrasion/ Skin Polishing Procedure
- Cleansing: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils from the skin.
- Exfoliation: The handheld device, which is equipped with a diamond-tipped or crystal-tipped wand, is passed over the skin. The wand gently exfoliates the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell renewal.
- Vacuum suction: The device also has a vacuum suction mechanism that helps to remove the exfoliated skin cells and unclog pores. This suction stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, further promoting skin rejuvenation.
- Targeted areas: The aesthetician or dermatologist will focus on specific areas of concern, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin texture. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on the individual’s skin type and sensitivity.
- Multiple sessions: Microdermabrasion or skin polishing is often performed in a series of sessions to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions required may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and desired outcome. Typically, sessions are spaced a few weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and regenerate between treatments.
- Follow-up treatments: To maintain the results, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended. These can help to sustain the benefits of the initial series of treatments and keep the skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
- Post-treatment care: After the procedure, a soothing moisturizer or hydrating mask may be applied to the treated skin. It is important to follow the skincare recommendations provided by the professional to protect the newly revealed skin and optimize the healing process.
Benefits of Microderma Abrasion
- Exfoliation: The procedure effectively exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. This helps to improve skin texture, making it feel softer and more youthful.
- Skin rejuvenation: By stimulating cell turnover and promoting the production of collagen and elastin, microdermabrasion helps to rejuvenate the skin. This can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, giving the skin a more youthful and radiant look.
- Diminished acne scars: Microdermabrasion can help to fade the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. The exfoliation process encourages the growth of new skin cells, which can gradually reduce the visibility of acne scars and promote a more even skin tone.
- Improved skin tone and texture: Uneven skin tone and rough texture can be improved through microdermabrasion. The treatment helps to remove surface irregularities and smoothes out rough patches, giving the skin a more even and refined appearance.
- Enhanced product absorption: By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion enhances the penetration of skincare products. This allows for better absorption of serums, moisturizers, and other topical treatments, maximizing their effectiveness.
- Non-invasive and quick procedure: Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that does not require anesthesia or extensive downtime. The procedure is typically quick, with each session lasting about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area.
- Suitable for various skin types: Microdermabrasion is suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. It can be customized to address specific concerns and can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other body areas.
- Boosts confidence and self-esteem: The improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance can boost confidence and self-esteem. Clearer, smoother skin can make individuals feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
