Microdermabrasion Melbourne at Feeling Smooth
Looking for brighter, smoother skin without downtime? Our microdermabrasion treatment in Melbourne is a results-driven exfoliating therapy designed to improve skin texture, clear congestion and restore a healthy glow.
Using a diamond-tipped wand combined with gentle vacuum suction, this microdermabrasion facial removes dead skin cells from the surface while stimulating circulation and encouraging natural cell turnover. The result is smoother, more refined skin that looks clearer and feels refreshed after just one treatment.
This treatment is ideal for targeting dullness, blackheads, uneven texture, breakouts and early signs of ageing.
Cost of Microdermabrasion Treatment

How Microdermabrasion Works
Diamond Exfoliation Technology
Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped handpiece combined with gentle suction to exfoliate the surface of the skin. As the handpiece glides across the face, dry and redundant skin cells are lifted away to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath.
What the Suction & Diamond Tip Do
The suction gently lifts the skin while the diamond tip exfoliates the surface. Together, they help deeply refine the skin in a way that manual exfoliation alone cannot achieve.
More Than Just Exfoliation
Unlike traditional exfoliation methods, microdermabrasion also supports lymphatic drainage through the movement and direction of the handpiece. This helps refresh dull, congested skin while improving overall skin clarity and texture.
Does It Stimulate Collagen?
Yes — microdermabrasion does more than exfoliate. By encouraging cellular turnover, the skin is stimulated to support collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture and smooth fine lines over time.
What to Expect During & After Microdermabrasion
During Your Appointment
Every appointment begins with a thorough double cleanse to prepare the skin. We then perform 1–3 passes of microdermabrasion across the face, and if requested, the neck or other targeted areas.
Your session is finished with hydration and SPF to leave the skin protected and glowing.
How Long Does It Take?
As a standalone service, microdermabrasion typically takes around 10–20 minutes. It’s also commonly added to facials or skin treatments to enhance overall results.
What Does It Feel Like?
Most clients describe the feeling as similar to a cat’s tongue — slightly rough but not painful or uncomfortable.
Is There Downtime?
Some people experience slight redness immediately after treatment, however this usually settles within an hour. Most clients simply notice a healthy post-treatment glow.
When Will You Notice Results?
Results are usually visible immediately, with skin appearing smoother, brighter and more refreshed after just one session.
Microdermabrasion Benefits by Skin Concern
Blackheads & Congestion
The combination of suction and exfoliation helps loosen and remove built-up skin cells, oil and congestion that can contribute to blackheads.
Acne-Prone Skin
Microdermabrasion can be beneficial for acne-prone skin depending on the type and severity of acne. Your therapist will determine whether the service is suitable for your skin during consultation.
Uneven Skin Tone & Pigmentation
By removing dull, redundant skin cells, microdermabrasion helps reveal brighter and fresher-looking skin. When combined with active skincare or peels, it can also support improvements in pigmentation and uneven tone.
Fine Lines & Ageing Skin
Microdermabrasion is excellent for ageing or dehydrated skin. Exfoliating away dead skin cells helps smooth texture, improve hydration absorption and soften the appearance of fine lines.
Who Gets the Best Results?
Almost everyone can benefit from microdermabrasion, however dry, congested, ageing or thickened skin types often see the most noticeable improvement.
Microdermabrasion Aftercare
After Your Appointment
There’s very little downtime after microdermabrasion, however we recommend avoiding additional exfoliation for around a week as the professional exfoliation is much deeper than at-home scrubs or exfoliants.
Products to Avoid
To minimise sensitivity, it’s best to avoid strong active ingredients for the first 24 hours after treatment.
Can You Wear Makeup?
You can wear makeup after microdermabrasion, however allowing the skin to remain fresh and makeup-free immediately afterwards is ideal where possible.
Microdermabrasion can also work beautifully before an event, helping makeup apply more evenly and smoothly.
Sun Exposure
Freshly exfoliated skin is more susceptible to sun damage, so avoiding direct sun exposure and applying SPF is important after treatment.
Maintaining Your Results
Maintaining your results at home with gentle exfoliation 2–3 times per week and prescribed cosmeceutical skincare can help keep the skin smooth, clear and glowing between appointments.
