Microdermabrasion Treatment in Dubai | Estelaza Clinic – Dubai Silicon Oasis

No. Microdermabrasion is one of the most comfortable professional skin treatments available. You will feel a gentle scratching or sandpaper-like sensation as the handpiece passes over the skin, combined with the pull of the suction — most patients describe it as entirely tolerable and even satisfying. There is no anaesthetic required. Sensitive areas such as around the nose may feel slightly more intense but remain well within a comfortable range for virtually all patients.

No. Microdermabrasion is a zero-downtime treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink or feel mildly sensitive for a few hours after the session — similar to a mild sunburn sensation — which resolves quickly. You can apply makeup, attend social engagements, and return to all normal activities immediately after treatment.

For general skin maintenance and glow improvement, a monthly session is ideal and sufficient for most patients. For targeted correction of specific concerns such as superficial acne scars, pigmentation, or persistent congestion, a course of 6–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typically recommended, followed by monthly maintenance. Your doctor will provide a personalised session estimate at your consultation.

For most patients, a session every 3–4 weeks is appropriate — this aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle of approximately 28 days and ensures the treatment is consistently removing the newest layer of dead cells without over-exfoliating. Your doctor will advise the ideal frequency based on your skin type and concern.

Yes — for superficial and shallow acne scars. Microdermabrasion progressively improves the texture of rolling and shallow boxcar scars by stimulating cell renewal and mild collagen production with each session. Deeper scars — particularly ice pick scars — do not respond significantly to microdermabrasion alone and require more intensive treatments such as microneedling, RF microneedling, subcision, or TCA cross. Your doctor will assess your scar types and advise accordingly.

Yes — and combining it intelligently with other treatments significantly enhances overall results. Microdermabrasion pairs particularly well with chemical peels — used in alternating sessions for progressive resurfacing — and with brightening facials, medical facials, and skin booster injections. It also maximises the penetration of active post-treatment serums applied immediately after the procedure. Your doctor will design an integrated programme if combination treatment is appropriate for your goals.

Yes — microdermabrasion is safe for all skin tones including medium-to-dark skin types, which represent the majority of Dubai’s population. Because it is a mechanical rather than a chemical or light-based treatment, it does not carry the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that some chemical peels or laser treatments can pose on darker skin when not calibrated correctly. Our doctors adjust the abrasion level and pass number to ensure the treatment is appropriate and safe for your specific skin tone.

A facial scrub is a superficial physical exfoliant applied manually at home or in a spa — it removes some dead skin cells from the very surface of the skin. Medical microdermabrasion uses a motorised device with calibrated abrasion depth and professional suction to remove the entire stratum corneum consistently and precisely — achieving a level of exfoliation that a manual scrub cannot replicate. The clinical result, pore-clearing effect, and post-treatment skin permeability for active ingredient absorption are incomparably greater with medical microdermabrasion.

Pricing depends on the treatment area, the number of sessions in your plan, and any combination add-ons selected.
