The treatment

What is Microdermabrasion facial?

The microdermabrasion facial uses gentle diamond-tip exfoliation to deeply polish your skin.

It removes dull, dead surface cells to reveal a brighter, more refined complexion underneath, improving texture, minimising the appearance of pores and enhancing how well your skincare absorbs. Your skin is left fresh, smooth and luminous, making it perfect as a monthly maintenance facial or a pre-event boost when you want your skin to look its absolute best.

What it helps with

How it works

How your treatment works.

A resurface-and-nourish facial that reveals fresher skin underneath:

  • Your skin is deep cleansed and prepared.
  • A diamond tip gently exfoliates the surface, lifting away dull, dead cells to smooth texture and soften the look of pores.
  • A soothing mask calms and hydrates freshly polished skin.
  • A transdermal infusion drives targeted serums deeper for optimal benefit, boosted by how much more your skin absorbs after exfoliation.

The result is fresh, smooth, luminous skin with an instant glow.

How to care for your skin afterwards

Been here before?

You've probably already spent money on skin that didn't change.

Real skin concerns don't respond to guesswork, or to whatever machine a clinic happens to own. They respond to the right treatment, at the right depth, in the right order. That is the difference between spending on your skin and actually solving it.

Why Cronulla Skin Sanctuary

Real results and genuine care

For twenty years the Shire has trusted the Sanctuary to take the guesswork out of skin. Paramedical treatments, honest advice, and a therapist who holds your history: that is the difference between a fluffy facial and a plan that actually changes your skin.

Before you book

The honest bit: what's normal, and when to wait.

Every skin is different. Here is what tends to happen afterwards, and the times it is worth pausing to check with your therapist first.

What's normal afterwards

Microdermabrasion is gentle with little to no downtime. Straight afterwards your skin can look slightly pink and feel a touch more sensitive, which settles within a day.

Your skin will be more sensitive to sun for a few days, so daily SPF is important.

When to check with us first

Microdermabrasion suits most people, but let us know before you book if any of the following apply, so we can tailor it or check first:

  • You have active or inflamed acne, or a rosacea or eczema flare on the area
  • You use retinol, retinoids or strong active skincare (you may need to pause beforehand)
  • You've recently had a peel, laser, needling or injectables on your face
  • The skin is sunburnt, broken or has an active cold sore
  • You bruise or scar easily, or have very sensitive skin

Not sure it is right for you? A consultation covers your history, your skin and your goals before anything begins.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Everything worth knowing before your appointment. Still unsure which treatment suits you? A quick consultation sorts it out.

What does microdermabrasion do?

It uses gentle diamond-tip exfoliation to deeply polish your skin, lifting away dull, dead surface cells to reveal the brighter, smoother skin underneath. It refines texture, softens the look of pores, and helps your skincare absorb better.

What's included in the facial?

A complete resurface-and-nourish treatment:

  • A deep cleanse and skin preparation
  • Diamond-tip microdermabrasion to resurface and renew
  • A soothing mask to calm and hydrate
  • A transdermal infusion of targeted serums for optimal benefit
What does it feel like?

Comfortable, with a light gritty or vacuum-like sensation as the diamond tip glides over your skin. Most people find it relaxing, and there's no downtime.

Can I wear makeup afterwards?

It's best to let your freshly polished skin breathe for the rest of the day. Because your skin absorbs more after treatment, it's the perfect time to feed it good products.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online any time, or call the clinic during opening hours. New to a treatment? A short skin consultation is the best place to start.

Yes. Zip is available at checkout, so you can pay over time, and our skin memberships spread the cost of a course. Packages can be used up to 12 months later.

Will I need a consultation first?

For most advanced treatments, yes. A consultation checks your skin and history so your plan is safe, and it counts toward your treatment. Browse all treatments or ask us which suits you.
