Microdermabrasion

Non-Invasive Skin Exfoliation for Radiance and Clarity

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells using either a diamond-tipped hand-piece or fine crystals. This process reveals fresher, smoother skin beneath and enhances the absorption of skincare products, making it a great option for maintenance or preparation before more intensive treatments.

At Soliman Aesthetics, microdermabrasion is performed by trained professionals and can be customised to suit your skin type, condition, and goals.

Suitable for 

There is no downtime following microdermabrasion, but some minor post-treatment effects and aftercare steps should be followed to protect your skin:
  • Mild redness or a feeling of tightness may occur, usually resolving within a few hours
  • Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun—daily SPF and adequate hydration are essential
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients (like AHAs, BHAs, or retinol) for 2–3 days
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as it can dehydrate the skin and may exacerbate redness
  • Minimise or avoid smoking and vaping, as nicotine can reduce blood flow and impair the skin’s healing and renewal process
  • Refrain from heat-based activities (like hot yoga or steam rooms) for 24 hours
Following these steps will help maintain your results and support the skin’s natural barrier post-exfoliation.

What to Expect

Microdermabrasion is generally low-risk and well tolerated. Rare or temporary side effects may include:
  • Mild redness or flushing
  • Slight skin tightness or dryness
  • Rarely, minor irritation if aftercare is not followed
Your practitioner will adjust the intensity of the treatment based on your skin sensitivity and provide you with personalised care advice.
