Microdermabrasion Gold Coast
With over 20 years of experience in skincare, Esteem Clinic’s team of qualified dermal therapists offers safe, effective, and tailored microdermabrasion treatments designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin.
Skin Rejuvenation
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for instantly refreshing your skin’s tone and texture, helping you achieve a clearer, smoother complexion. With regular sessions, it can visibly enhance skin clarity, refine texture, and support long-term skin health. It also helps prevent breakouts and boosts the absorption and effectiveness of your at-home skincare products.
At our Gold Coast skin clinic, we understand and appreciate the uniqueness of each face, as well as the individual aesthetic aspirations of our clients. Our team consists of highly qualified and experienced dermal therapists, each dedicated to delivering exceptional care. Before any skin procedure, we offer a complimentary consultation to understand your concerns, evaluate the suitability of the treatment, and tailor our approach to align with your individual aesthetic goals.
How It Works
Dead skin particles can cause clogged pores and sit in fine lines, making your skin appear dull, tired, and lined. Microdermabrasion assists the skin’s natural shedding process by removing the buildup of particles, leaving skin smoother, brighter, and firmer.
Microdermabrasion exfoliates the top epidermal layer of the skin using a handheld device containing micro-crystals. This device gently resurfaces the skin by shedding dead cells and stimulating new ones.
Microdermabrasion treatment can be used to exfoliate the face, neck and décolletage.
What Concerns Can Be Treated With Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion can help improve the appearance of a range of skin concerns, including:
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Surface-level pigmentation concerns, including Melasma
- Acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Congested skin, blackheads, and whiteheads
- Enlarged pores and rough or flaky skin
- Keratosis pilaris (commonly on the arms or thighs)
- Body breakouts congestion, including on the chest, back, or buttocks
Your Consultation
Before your skin treatment, you will have a thorough consultation to assess your skin, discuss the effects of microdermabrasion in further detail, create a personalised treatment plan, and clarify your preparation instructions.
Assessment of Skin Concerns
Your consultation will begin with a discussion about your skin concerns and goals. You can express any specific issues you want to address, such as uneven skin texture, acne scars, or fine lines. Your dermal therapist may ask relevant questions to comprehensively understand your skin’s condition.
Skin Analysis
Our team members will perform a thorough analysis of your skin. This may involve examining your skin type, texture, elasticity, tone, and any existing skin conditions. They may also use specialised tools to better understand your skin’s unique needs and highlight areas that could benefit from focused care.
Medical History & Lifestyle Assessment
You will be asked about your medical history, including any allergies, previous treatments, or existing skin conditions. It is important to disclose any medications you are taking or any recent procedures you have undergone. We may also inquire about your lifestyle habits, such as sun exposure, smoking, or skincare routines, to better understand how these factors may impact your skin health and to tailor your aftercare instructions to your needs.
Explanation of Microdermabrasion
We will explain the microdermabrasion procedure, its benefits, and how it works so that you will know what to expect. Based on the assessment of your skin and your specific concerns, we will provide you with realistic expectations for the microdermabrasion treatment. We’ll explain the improvements you can anticipate and also inform you of any potential side effects or downtime associated with the procedure.
Customised Treatment Plan
Considering your skin analysis, concerns, and expectations, we will develop a personalised treatment plan for you. We’ll discuss the recommended number of sessions, the intervals between treatments, and any complementary or additional treatments that may enhance the results.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
We recommend avoiding exfoliating treatments and active skincare products, such as acids or retinoids for 3 to 5 days prior to your session.
Microdermabrasion is not suitable for sunburnt skin, open wounds, or if you’re currently using medications that affect skin sensitivity or healing. Please let your therapist know if you’ve had any recent skin, laser, or injectable treatments in the past two weeks.
The Results
Microdermabrasion is a low-impact treatment with no required downtime. Most people resume their normal routine immediately after the session. Some temporary redness may occur, but this typically resolves within a few hours.
Mild dryness or tightness can occur following exfoliation. In some cases, breakout-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in congestion as impurities are lifted.
Microdermabrasion is often recommended as a first-step treatment or as part of an ongoing skin maintenance plan. Results such as smoother skin and improved texture may be noticeable within a few days.

Like all skin treatments, microdermabrasion carries some potential risks and side effects. These can include:
• Skin irritation: Temporary redness, sensitivity, or irritation.
• Dryness and tightness: Some dryness and tightness in the treated skin. Mild flaking can occur due to the stimulation of cell turnover
• Increased sun sensitivity: Your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight, so it is important to use sun protection.
• Bruising: Rare but possible, especially with more aggressive treatment or if you’re prone to bruising.
• Infection: A slight risk, but extremely rare if the area is kept clean.
• Allergic reactions: Possible reactions to products used during or after the procedure, so inform your therapist of any known allergies.
• Skin discolouration: Very rare, but it may occur, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.
The key to minimising these risks is following the preparation and aftercare instructions provided. These risks will be discussed with you in more detail during your consultation.
