At a glance
A fine diamond-tipped wand gently polishes away dull, rough surface skin and clears the way for better product absorption. A collagen infusion follows to hydrate and nourish the freshly exfoliated skin. The result is a smoother, brighter complexion with a soft, even texture.

- Exfoliation without surgery
Please note
If you have sunburn, an active infection, an open wound, inflamed acne or significantly irritated skin, please wait before booking.
To prepare
- Avoid sun and tanning beforehand, and do not come with sunburnt or irritated skin.
- Tell your practitioner about prescription skincare and any isotretinoin, now or recently.
- Mention cold sores, allergies, a tendency to scar and any recent facial procedure.
- Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids before and after, as your practitioner advises.
- Please mention any acne medication and any recent waxing.
- If we advise it, skip scrubs before your visit, and for several days after, or until any sensitivity settles.
Diamond first, then collagen
As the handpiece moves over your skin, its textured diamond tip loosens dry cells while gentle suction lifts them away.
Your practitioner sets the pressure and suction to match your skin type, how sensitive it is and the area being treated.
We follow with a collagen mask and hydrating skincare containing aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, which condition and moisturise the surface.
Nothing is injected, and none of it rebuilds your own collagen.
On the day
After a cleanse, an ultrasonic skin scrubber loosens surface debris. The handpiece follows in controlled passes, with care around delicate areas.
You may feel mild scratching, vibration and suction, though it should not hurt. Moisturiser and sunscreen go on last.

Results
Results fromStraight away
Your skin should feel smoother and softer straight away, and look brighter because light reflects more evenly off it.
For a day or two it may feel tight, dry or sensitive, and look a little red or swollen.
The smoothness is temporary. A course every two to four weeks, with good skincare at home, can give a steadier improvement in roughness and dullness. Results vary from skin to skin.
Questions people ask
No. Dermabrasion is a much deeper medical resurfacing procedure, while this is a light surface exfoliation with far less recovery.
Here, the diamond tip does the exfoliating itself. Traditional crystal microdermabrasion relies on loose crystals, and this uses none.
It will not remove deep acne scars, stretch marks or established pigmentation. For those, your practitioner may suggest microneedling, laser, a chemical peel or another treatment.
It is kindest to let your skin settle first, ideally until the next day, or as your practitioner advises.
