What is microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is a highly effective skin renewal technique that provides deep rejuvenation of the outermost layers of the epidermis. Through a controlled exfoliation, dead cells are removed and cellular regeneration is stimulated, offering an improvement in skin texture and appearance. The advanced microdermabrasion treatment we apply combines classic diamond-tip exfoliation with innovative cryotherapy and LED phototherapy techniques. During the treatment, keratolysis (breakdown of dead skin cell bonds) occurs, while immediate soothing and toning are also provided.

The microdermabrasion process
The advanced microdermabrasion treatment we apply is a comprehensive process that combines multiple stages for maximum effectiveness and comfort:
1. Cleansing and preparation
The treatment begins with a gentle facial cleansing to remove makeup. This prepares the skin for the subsequent steps of the treatment.
2. Ultrasonic spatula extraction
Before the main microdermabrasion step, we use an ultrasonic spatula to remove sebum and superficial impurities. This process is completely painless and provides an additional cleanse.
3. Diamond microdermabrasion
In the main stage of the treatment, we use a special tool with a diamond head. The diamond tip is applied with controlled, systematic movements to gently remove dead skin cells, while also 'waking up' fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen production). This process: - Induces controlled hyperemia in the area for increased blood flow - Effectively removes dead cells from the outer layer of the skin - Smooths skin texture without causing injury - Prepares the skin to maximally absorb nutrients.
4. Cryotherapy for soothing and firming
After microdermabrasion, we apply cryotherapy with a special tool (cold hammer) that: - Instantly soothes the skin and reduces possible redness - Improves the appearance of deeply cleansed dilated pores - Stimulates microcirculation for improved radiance - Provides a pleasant sensation of coolness and relaxation.
5. Soothing mask and LED phototherapy
The treatment concludes with the application of a specialized soothing mask, chosen according to your skin's needs. Concurrently, we apply LED phototherapy with the appropriate light color: - Red light: For anti-aging and collagen stimulation - Blue light: For antibacterial action and acne treatment - Yellow light: For radiance and redness reduction - Green light: For balance and even skin tone.
Post-microdermabrasion care
To maintain the results of the treatment and fully reap its benefits, it is important to follow some tips:
Immediately after treatment
Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands and drink plenty of water for hydration.
For the next 24 hours
Apply a soothing and moisturizing cream morning and night, use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and gently cleanse with a mild cleanser.
For the next 3 days
Continue intensive hydration and soothing, maintain daily sun protection, and apply soothing masks for extra relief if needed.
What to avoid:
- Immediately after treatment (for 24 hours): Sun exposure without sun protection, strenuous exercise and sweating, sauna, hammam or very hot baths, products with alcohol, perfumes or other irritating ingredients
- For the next 3 days: Exfoliating products (chemical or mechanical), products with acids (AHA, BHA) or retinol, intensive facial treatments, strong rubbing or pressure on the skin
Ideal treatment frequency
For optimal results, we suggest:
Normal to combination skin
One treatment every 3-4 weeks
Sensitive skin
One treatment every 4-6 weeks
For intensive treatment
4-6 sessions with an interval of 2-3 weeks
For maintenance
1 treatment every 4-6 weeks
For special occasion preparation
2-3 days before the event
Combined treatments with microdermabrasion
In some cases, microdermabrasion can be combined with other treatments for even better results. Treatments that can be done on the same day:
Facial cleansing
For removing sebum from deeper layers of the epidermis
Spa treatment
Relaxing neck and shoulder massage
Treatments that can follow (after 5-7 days):
Hydration treatment
For boosting moisture after exfoliation
Vitamin C treatment
For antioxidant action and radiance
Glow up
For enhanced radiance
Microdermabrasion & LED phototherapy
The combination offers multiple benefits for the skin, more powerful than if the treatments are applied separately. Diamond exfoliation removes dead cells from the skin's surface, allowing LED light to penetrate deeper and activate cellular mechanisms immediately after exfoliation. LED therapy, in turn, immediately soothes the skin and reduces any irritation after exfoliation. This smart combination:

How does this treatment differ from classic dermabrasion?
This advanced treatment combines classic dermabrasion with cryotherapy and phototherapy, offering multiple benefits. Cryotherapy immediately soothes the skin after exfoliation, reducing redness and irritation, while also tightening pores and stimulating microcirculation. LED phototherapy stimulates collagen production and has an anti-inflammatory effect, enhancing the results. This combination makes the treatment suitable even for more sensitive skin types, with minimal to no downtime.
Is dermabrasion painful?
It is not a painful procedure. During the treatment, you may feel a slight rubbing sensation, but the cryotherapy that follows provides immediate relief and soothing. The cold sensation is usually pleasant and relaxing, while phototherapy is completely painless and many find it particularly calming.
How long does the treatment take?
The entire process takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on the skin condition and its needs. After the treatment, you will see immediate improvement in skin texture, radiance, and firmness.
How long do the results last?
Immediate results typically last 2-3 weeks. The combined action of phototherapy also provides more long-term benefits, such as collagen stimulation, which become visible over time and with subsequent sessions.
What is the cost of dermabrasion?
The cost of dermabrasion on offer is €49, with LED phototherapy included as a gift.
