WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
Microdermabrasion at Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic is a non-invasive diamond-tipped exfoliation treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells using controlled suction, without any chemicals or anaesthesia. It effectively treats fine lines, blackheads, acne scarring, pigmentation, and dull or congested skin on the face, neck, or back, with visible results after the first session and zero downtime.
Diamond microdermabrasion works by physically exfoliating the skin surface using a machine fitted with tiny diamond-encrusted tips. As the handpiece moves across your skin, the diamonds abrade dead skin cells while strong suction removes them and simultaneously increases blood flow. This boost in circulation stimulates collagen production, which progressively improves skin texture, tone, and firmness. Unlike crystal microdermabrasion, the diamond-tip method produces no airborne particles, making it a cleaner and safer treatment for all skin types.

How It Works
A step-by-step breakdown of what happens during and after your microdermabrasion treatment at Soma Laser.
Skin naturally sheds dead cells every 28 to 30 days, but this process slows with age, sun damage, and congestion. Microdermabrasion physically removes the outermost layer of dead skin using a diamond-tipped handpiece and controlled suction, with no acids involved. The suction simultaneously increases blood flow to the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting healthier cell turnover. The result is smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin immediately after the first session.
Each session takes approximately 30 minutes and is completely comfortable with no downtime. Your therapist selects the appropriate suction level and diamond tip for your skin type and concern.
Results are visible immediately after the first session. Skin feels noticeably smoother and looks more radiant. With consistent monthly treatments, the progressive removal of damaged surface cells allows newer, healthier skin to emerge. Fine lines appear softer, congestion clears, and pigmentation becomes more even. For acne scarring or stretch marks, a course of treatments produces the most significant improvement. Incorporating microdermabrasion into your monthly facial routine is the most effective way to maintain long-term results.
Maximise Results with a Lamelle Skin Peel
For deeper skin renewal, Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic can safely combine microdermabrasion with a Lamelle chemical peel. Performing microdermabrasion first removes the surface barrier, allowing the peel's active ingredients to penetrate more evenly and effectively, delivering enhanced resurfacing, improved pigmentation correction, and accelerated renewal.
