Microdermabrasion (exfoliating treatment)
It is important that we maintain and look after our skin,
especially as we age. Microdermabrasion is a deep exfoliating
treatment that is popular with both men and women. For a quick skin
pick-me-up, microdermabrasion gives your complexion a smoother
surface and promotes the growth of healthy new cells. It improves
wrinkles, skin texture and colour by polishing the topmost layer
and then vacuuming away the dead skin cells in a safe, controlled
manner.
Right from your initial consultation, Transform’s team of
friendly staff will make you feel at home, answering your questions
and putting you at ease. You can be confident in the knowledge that

Microdermabrasion FAQs
Who will microdermabrasion benefit?
Microdermabrasion is a great treatment for anyone who wants
their skin to have a healthy luminous glow. However it is
particularly helpful in treating specific skin conditions,
including acne scarring, sun damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles,
pigmentation, stretch marks, milia and seborrhoea. Whether you want
a one-off treatment for a special occasion or a specific skin
condition treated, our friendly advisors will happily advise you on
how you can get the best from microdermabrasion.
How is microdermabrasion done?
Our practitioner will remove any traces of make up first. She
will then discuss your skin type with you and choose the wand most
suitable for your skin type. The gentle suction action of the
appropriate wand will remove any dead skin. The wand will be used
over the face and neck area.
We use the latest Diamondtome system in our microdermabrasion
procedure. Unique diamond chip wands are used to polish your skin
to reveal its natural radiance and luminosity, reducing fine lines
and rejuvenating your complexion quickly and without
discomfort. Usually microdermabrasion treatment takes about 45
minutes. However, to get the best results a course of 6 treatments
is usually recommended. A period of 1-2 weeks in between each
treatment is required. After the treatment with the wands a
moisturiser and sun block will be applied. The best results are
gained from a course of treatments.
How long will microdermabrasion take?
One session of microdermabrasion will take approximately 30-45
minutes.
What results can I expect from microdermabrasion?
After microdermabrasion you can expect smoother skin with an
improved texture and more even colour. Microdermabrasion gives skin
a luminous glow, lessens the appearance of wrinkles, stimulates
collagen production and promotes the growth of healthy new cells.

How long is the recovery period from microdermabrasion?
There is no recovery time necessary with microdermabrasion. You
could easily have the procedure done in your lunch hour.
Are there any after effects to microdermabrasion?
Following the treatment initially your skin will appear a little
bit pink, dependant on how sensitive your skin is, but this will
settle down after a short period of time, usually half an hour.
Occasionally the treatment can cause thread veins to appear or
become exaggerated if you already have them. However, correct use
of the most appropriate wand by our qualified experienced
microdermabrasion practitioner will minimise these occasional
complications should they occur.
Are there risks associated with microdermabrasion?
Transform has performed more cosmetic surgery than any other
provider in the UK. As such, we are extremely experienced; there is
no provider better placed to help you become more confident through
non-surgical cosmetic procedure. You can talk through any concerns
you may have at your free consultation.
Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?
The beauty about Microdermabrasion is that is actually enhances
the results of other skin rejuvenation treatments.
Microdermabrasion will make the effects of dermal fillers and Botox last even longer. Microdermabrasion is also
the perfect treatment to combine with IPL and
laser skin rejuvenation, as well as facial peels.
How much does microdermabrasion cost?
One session of microdermabrasion costs from £55.
How do I arrange to have microdermabrasion?
The first step towards undergoing microdermabrasion is to book a
free consultation with a member of our friendly, expert team. At a
consultation, you can expect to see a patient care co-ordinator,
with whom you will have plenty of opportunities to ask any
questions you may have about the procedure. The consultation will
take around 40 minutes,
during which time you will not be given the ‘hard sell’. No
pressure will be put on you to go through with the procedure, and
you will not be forced to make a decision at the consultation. We
understand that this is a big decision for you and we want you to
be totally satisfied that it’s the right thing to do before
committing to the procedure booking.
