Controlled surface refinement
Precise mechanical exfoliation for a cleaner, smoother finish.
Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped handpiece with controlled suction to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, more even surface beneath. The treatment is quick, well-tolerated, and provides a reliable reset for skin that has become congested, dull, or rough in texture.

Why Royal Cosmetic Clinic
Three reasons clients choose Micro Dermabrasion.
Micro Dermabrasion is delivered with the same measured clinical standard applied across all Royal Cosmetic Clinic treatments — precise, planned, and focused on natural-looking outcomes.
Exfoliation
Deep surface clearance
Diamond-tip abrasion removes the congested outer skin layer more effectively than at-home exfoliation, for a noticeably smoother feel.
Smoothness
Even skin texture
Consistent removal of surface irregularities and rough patches reveals a more uniform and refined skin surface.
Clarity
Brighter complexion
Light reflects more evenly off a clear skin surface, resulting in an immediate improvement in skin radiance and tone.
Suitability
Is this treatment right for you?
A private consultation will confirm suitability. This treatment is commonly considered for:
Dull, lacklustre, or congested skin
Uneven surface texture or rough patches
Mild hyperpigmentation and surface sun damage
Blackhead and surface-level congestion
Those wanting a low-commitment maintenance treatment
Pre-event skin refreshing within 48 hours
Final suitability is confirmed during your private consultation. Your clinician will review your medical history, skin type, and treatment goals before any plan is agreed.
How it works
What happens during your Micro Dermabrasion session.
Skin consultation
Your clinician assesses skin type and selects the appropriate diamond tip size and suction intensity for your concern.
Pre-cleanse
The skin is gently cleansed to remove surface product, oil, and environmental pollutants before treatment begins.
Diamond-tip exfoliation
The diamond-tip handpiece passes across the skin in precise overlapping strokes while simultaneous suction removes the loosened dead cells.
Lymphatic support
Controlled suction encourages circulation and lymphatic drainage, contributing to the immediate post-treatment clarity and de-puffing effect.
Protective finish
A calming serum and SPF are applied to complete the treatment. Skin is slightly more sensitive to sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most accessible treatments on the face menu.

Micro Dermabrasion FAQs
Clear answers before you book.
These answers are intentionally general. Your consultation gives the clinic the detail needed to make the final recommendation for your skin.
Clinical microdermabrasion uses a precisely calibrated diamond-tip device with suction to remove significantly more dead skin cells than any at-home scrub or chemical exfoliant. The result is measurably smoother skin that responds better to both clinical and home skincare.
Microdermabrasion can be appropriate for sensitive skin when performed at a gentle intensity. Your clinician will adjust the suction strength and tip selection to match your skin's tolerance. Those with active rosacea or broken capillaries will be assessed individually.
A single session provides a noticeable immediate improvement, but a course of 4 to 6 monthly treatments delivers the best long-term results for texture and tone. Your clinician will recommend a maintenance schedule after your initial session.
It is generally advisable to allow the skin to breathe for a few hours after treatment before applying makeup. Your clinician will advise based on your skin's response on the day.
Microdermabrasion is effective for surface-level congestion and blackheads. The combination of exfoliation and suction loosens and draws out debris from pores. For deeper or persistent congestion, your clinician may recommend a complementary hydro dermabrasion or chemical peel protocol.
