Microdermabrasion is a non-abrasive, fast results facial procedure that uses machinery technology to treat the face, neck & decolletage being a mechanical exfoliation, dead and dull surface layers of the skin slough off, stimulating an increase in collagen production and rejuvenation.

This advanced facial treatment can be used as a stand-alone maintenance treatment or upgraded as a booster treatment for most relaxation facials. For best results, we recommend a series of gentle Micro treatments, with treatments scheduled 7-10 days apart. Each procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to perform and there is no downtime for the skin to recover.

One of the most important benefits of Microdermabrasion is its anti-aging effect. Treated areas show visible improvements in the tone, texture, and colour of skin.

HydroJelly Peel Mask - $30

HydroJelly Masks are a new generation mask that are boosted with pure algae, actives and new electrolyte technology.

One of the most common culprits of dry skin is an electrolyte imbalance. The skin cannot absorb or retain water without the proper balance of electrolytes.

These electrolytes help the skin achieve a natural moisture balance that is essential to keep the skin healthy, and in great working order.

Micro FAQ

What does Microdermabrasion do?

Microdermabrasion treatment works in two parts. Firstly, a diamond-tipped wand gently exfoliates the surface of your skin to remove the unwanted matter. Then, a vacuum sucks up the removed debris and impurities while simultaneously stimulating blood flow to the surface.

What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion?

If you’re looking to up your skincare game and go beyond over-the-counter products and at-home treatments, Microdermabrasion is a great way to exfoliate the skin, clear congestion and blackheads, refine open pores, improve tone and texture and reveal a healthy-looking glow.

Does Microdermabrasion actually work?

Yes. Absolutely. All skin needs exfoliation to stay healthy, but as we age this process slows. By removing the dead and dry outer layer of the skin’s surface, Microdermabrasion reveals fresh and healthy skin underneath. This process not only makes the skin appear less congested but also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, both of which promote new healthy skin-cell growth. The end result: brighter skin.

How long do the effects of Microdermabrasion last?

You‘ll notice a difference after just one treatment, but we recommend a programme of 3 – 6 treatments spaced two weeks apart to achieve superior, radiant skin. After that, a monthly Microdermabrasion treatment will keep your skin in tip-top working order. It’s also a great idea to combine Microdermabrasion treatments with monthly skin peels and LED Light treatments to achieve ongoing skin fitness.

Is Microdermabrasion good for acne scars?

Clinical Microdermabrasion treatment does create new elastin and collagen in the skin, which in turn helps to smooth acne scars – however, there are far better acne scarring treatment options available these days. For acne scars, at Pokea we recommend skin-needling treatments such as Dermapen, or the Rolls Royce of skin needling: SkinPen. In summary, Microdermabrasion is a brilliant treatment option if you’re looking to maintain optimum skin health, but no longer the most effective way to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

How long does Microdermabrasion treatment take?

Microdermabrasion treatment is quick and easy. It takes approximately 15 minutes for full Microdermabrasion or 10 minutes for an Express Microdermabrasion.
