Manual Exfoliation for Smoother, Brighter Skin

Manual resurfacing treatments that gently refine and reset.

Manual exfoliation includes advanced techniques like Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning that manually remove dead skin cells to smooth texture and restore clarity. Using either crystal abrasion or a fine blade, these non-invasive treatments refine the skin’s surface, reduce dullness and congestion, and improve absorption of active ingredients. Ideal for most skin types, manual exfoliation leaves the skin soft, polished, and visibly brighter.

Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion

Smoother skin, softly revealed.

A precision-based, non-invasive facial that gently buffs away dull surface cells using a diamond-tipped wand. This 45-minute treatment is layered with LED therapy and a calming mask to leave skin visibly smoother, clearer, and more radiant — all without downtime.

Every 4–6 weeks

None – skin may appear slightly pink for a few hours

Monthly for maintenance

None – completely painless

45 minutes

  • Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is a mechanical resurfacing treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of skin using a finely textured diamond wand. By polishing away dead skin and stimulating circulation, it enhances cell renewal, refines skin texture, and prepares the skin to absorb active ingredients more effectively.

    • Skin that feels rough, tired or dull

    • Congestion or blackhead-prone areas

    • Fine lines, early sun damage, or loss of tone

    • Soothing mask: Hydrating ingredients replenish post-exfoliation

  • “I had dull skin and some light scarring — one session and I couldn’t believe the glow. Highly recommend.”
    — Amira, 34

    “My pores looked smaller and my skin felt baby-soft. The LED finish made it feel like a proper treat.”
    — Joanne, 40

  • Can this be customised for sensitive skin?
    Yes. We adjust the pressure and suction level for a gentler treatment. If sensitivity is extreme, we may suggest an alternative.

    Will my skin peel or flake?
    You may experience minor flaking, but this is not a peeling treatment — think refined, not stripped.

    Is it painful?
    Not at all. Most describe it as a satisfying polish — firm, but comfortable.

    How often should I have this facial?
    Every 4–6 weeks is ideal for maintenance. For targeted concerns like congestion or scarring, we may recommend a short course.

    Can I combine this with other treatments?
    Absolutely. It pairs beautifully with peels, LED, and mesotherapy — we’ll guide you.

Dermaplaning

Silken skin, instantly revealed.

Dermaplaning is a gentle, manual exfoliation treatment that smooths and brightens by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) with a surgical-grade blade. Finished with LED light therapy and a soothing mask, this 45-minute session reveals baby-soft skin, improves product absorption, and leaves you glowing — with zero downtime.

Every 3–4 weeks

None – slight redness may occur post-treatment

4–6 sessions for best results

Immediate smoothness and glow

Minimal – a light scratching sensation

45 minutes

  • “It’s the smoothest my skin has ever felt. Makeup glides on beautifully.”
    — Katie, 27

    “I love that it removes peach fuzz and gives me an instant glow without irritation.”
    — Farrah, 31

  • Will my hair grow back thicker?
    No. Vellus hair grows back at the same speed, texture, and colour. This is a myth.

    Can I wear makeup after?
    Yes — though many clients prefer to go makeup-free. If applying makeup, use clean tools and avoid heavy products for a day or two.

    Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
    Often yes, but if your skin is currently inflamed or reactive, we may recommend a gentler alternative.

    Does it hurt?
    Not at all. It feels like a soft scraping or brushing — most clients find it deeply relaxing.

    How often should I have it?
    Every 4–6 weeks is ideal for maintenance. It also pairs beautifully with other skin therapies for deeper results.
