Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a mechanical exfoliation device to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter and younger-looking complexion. The treatment involves a qualified therapist using a handheld device to evenly and thoroughly buff away the surface layer of skin, leaving the skin refreshed and revitalised.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microdermabrasion Diamond Peel is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that exfoliates the skin using a diamond-tipped wand. The diamond head abrades the outermost layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. It is an effective way to improve the appearance of skin imperfections such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and other age-related skin concerns.
The treatment involves a therapist using a special diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the surface of your skin. A suction device will then remove the dead skin cells and debris. The treatment typically lasts around 30 minutes and you can return to your normal activities immediately after.
The treatment is generally pain-free, although you may feel a mild scratching sensation as the wand is moved across your skin. The suction during the treatment may also cause a slight pulling sensation.
No, there is no downtime required after a Microdermabrasion Diamond Peel treatment. Your skin may appear slightly red or feel tender for a few hours, but this is normal and will soon subside.
Most people are suitable for the treatment, except for those with active acne or rosacea, those with extremely sensitive skin, or those who have recently undergone facial surgery. A consultation with a therapist is recommended prior to the treatment to ensure that Microdermabrasion Diamond Peel is the right treatment for you.
In general, Microdermabrasion Diamond Peel is a safe and effective treatment with minimal side effects. However, some people may experience temporary redness, swelling or bruising. It is important to follow your therapist’s aftercare advice to minimise any potential side effects.

Treatment Care
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that helps in exfoliating the skin and reducing the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines. Proper pre-care advice will help ensure that clients have a safe and effective microdermabrasion treatment at Naomi Waite Aesthetics. The following are the recommended pre-care steps:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Clients should avoid sun exposure for at least a week before their microdermabrasion treatment. Exposure to UV rays can make the skin more sensitive and increase the risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation. If clients must go out in the sun, they should wear sunscreen with a high SPF of at least 30.
- Stop Using Retinoids: Clients should stop using retinoids such as Retin-A, Differin, and Tazorac for at least a week before microdermabrasion. These products can make the skin more sensitive and increase the risk of complications such as redness, swelling, and peeling.
- Avoid Chemical Peels: Clients should avoid chemical peels for at least two weeks before their microdermabrasion treatment. Chemical peels can make the skin more sensitive and increase the risk of complications during microdermabrasion.
- Stop Using Exfoliating Products: Clients should stop using any exfoliating products such as scrubs, loofahs, or exfoliating brushes for at least a week before microdermabrasion. These products can irritate the skin, making it more sensitive and susceptible to complications such as redness and swelling.
- Avoid Waxing: Clients should avoid waxing or any other hair removal methods such as threading or plucking for at least a week before microdermabrasion. These methods can irritate the skin and increase the risk of complications during the procedure.
- Inform the Aesthetician: Clients should inform their aesthetician of any medical conditions or medications they are taking, especially those that thin the blood, such as aspirin or Coumadin. They should also inform the aesthetician if they have any active skin infections or cold sores.
Clients can ensure a safe and successful microdermabrasion treatment at Naomi Waite Aesthetics by following the pre-care advice mentioned above. Proper pre-care can help clients achieve the desired results and minimize the risk of complications.
Microdermabrasion is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that exfoliates the skin's topmost layer and stimulates collagen production. After a Microdermabrasion treatment, it is essential to follow proper aftercare instructions to achieve optimal results. Here are some aftercare advice for clients having Microdermabrasion at Naomi Waite Aesthetics:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Direct sun exposure can damage newly treated skin. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid exposure to the sun for at least two weeks after Microdermabrasion. In case of unavoidable sun exposure, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher before going out.
- Keep the Skin Hydrated: After Microdermabrasion, the skin may feel dry and flaky. Therefore, it is important to moisturize the skin regularly to keep it hydrated. Use a gentle moisturizer that is free of fragrances and other irritants.
- Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: After Microdermabrasion, the skin is sensitive, and the use of harsh skincare products can irritate the skin. Therefore, avoid using products that contain retinoids, salicylic acid, and other exfoliants for at least a week after the treatment.
- Avoid Hot Showers and Baths: Hot water can dry out the skin and cause further irritation. Therefore, avoid hot showers and baths for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Do Not Scratch or Pick at the Skin: It is important to avoid scratching or picking at the skin after Microdermabrasion. Doing so can cause scarring and prolong the healing process.
- Avoid Makeup: After Microdermabrasion, the skin needs time to heal, and applying makeup can interfere with the healing process. Therefore, avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
By following these aftercare instructions, clients can expect to see the best results from their Microdermabrasion treatment. Remember, if you have any concerns or questions, do not hesitate to contact Naomi Waite Aesthetics.
