Microdermabrasion is a controlled mechanical exfoliation treatment that gently buffs away the outer layer of dead skin cells. This helps to smooth texture, clear congestion and prepare the skin to absorb active ingredients more effectively.
At Doyle Skin, we follow microdermabrasion with targeted Vitamin C products (and LED where appropriate) to brighten, protect and support the skin barrier. The result is a complexion that looks fresher, more even and noticeably more radiant.
We begin by discussing your skin, current routine and what you’d like to improve. This helps us tailor the treatment to your needs and decide on the most suitable level of exfoliation.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove make-up, SPF and surface impurities. Sensitive areas are identified and protected as needed.
A handheld device is passed over the skin in a precise pattern, gently polishing the surface and removing dead cells. You may feel a light scratching or suction sensation, but it should not be painful.
Once the skin is freshly exfoliated, Vitamin C-based products are applied to support brightness and protect against environmental stress. LED Light Therapy may be added to further calm, balance and energise the skin.
We finish with suitable moisturiser and SPF. You’ll leave with simple aftercare and, if you wish, recommendations for homecare to maintain your new glow.
