Microdermabrasion Facials in Plymouth

Reveal Smoother, Brighter and Healthier-Looking Skin

At Larkham House Dental Practice, we offer professional microdermabrasion facials in Plymouth to help rejuvenate tired, dull and ageing skin. This non-invasive skin treatment gently exfoliates the outer layer of the skin to reveal a fresher, brighter complexion underneath.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular facial aesthetics treatments for improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and helping restore a healthy glow, all with little to no downtime.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your complexion, improve acne-prone skin or enhance your overall skin health, our experienced team can help you achieve natural-looking results.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine microcrystals to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.

This controlled exfoliation encourages natural cell renewal, stimulates collagen production and improves circulation within the skin. As new skin cells are generated, your complexion appears smoother, brighter and more youthful.

Unlike more invasive treatments, microdermabrasion is suitable for many skin types and involves minimal recovery time.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion can help improve:

Fine lines and early wrinkles
Dull or tired-looking skin
Uneven skin tone and texture
Mild acne scarring
Enlarged pores
Blackheads and whiteheads
Sun-damaged skin
Hyperpigmentation and age spots
Oily skin
Dry or flaky skin

Many patients notice an immediate improvement in skin softness and radiance following treatment.

What Skin Concerns Can Microdermabrasion Treat?

Microdermabrasion is particularly effective for patients who want a brighter, smoother complexion without the need for chemicals, injections or laser treatments.

It can be an excellent treatment option if you are concerned about:

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Regular treatments can help improve skin texture and soften the appearance of early signs of ageing.

Acne and Congested Skin

Microdermabrasion helps unclog pores and remove dead skin cells that can contribute to breakouts.

Uneven Skin Tone

The treatment can help improve areas of pigmentation and sun damage, creating a more even complexion.

Dull Skin

By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion reveals fresher and healthier-looking skin underneath.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your appointment will begin with a consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals.

The treatment involves a specialist handpiece that gently exfoliates the skin while simultaneously removing dead skin cells. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a light scratching or polishing of the skin.

Treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes.

Following treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink, similar to mild sun exposure, but this usually settles quickly.

Results and Aftercare

Many patients notice softer, smoother skin immediately after treatment.

Microdermabrasion is often most effective when performed as a course of treatments. Multiple sessions allow for progressive improvement in skin texture, tone and overall appearance.

Following treatment, we recommend:

Using a high-quality moisturiser
Wearing SPF daily
Avoiding excessive sun exposure
Following any personalised aftercare advice provided

Who Performs Your Treatment?

Microdermabrasion treatments at Larkham House Dental Practice are carried out by Kelly, our experienced Hygiene Therapist, alongside Dr Matt Sadd, who acts as the prescribing clinician for facial aesthetics treatments.

This ensures every patient receives safe, professional care within a regulated clinical environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Microdermabrasion Hurt?

No. Most patients find treatment comfortable and relaxing.

Is There Any Downtime?

There is little to no downtime. Mild redness may occur immediately afterwards but usually resolves within a few hours.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

While you may notice improvements after a single session, a course of treatments is often recommended for optimal results.

Is Microdermabrasion Suitable for Sensitive Skin?

Yes. Microdermabrasion is generally considered one of the gentlest skin resurfacing treatments available.

Very friendly staff! I suffer with anxiety and every time I have an appointment the dentist is very patient and goes through everything to make sure I am OK and not too nervous. The dentist nurses, particularly Rachel is amazing! Especially with my children when they come in makes me feel at ease!

From the offset call confirming my appointment this dental practice experience was five star compared to dentist based Midlands . Front desk staff / nurses excellent giving me the reassurance that I was booked in with a great dentist as I personally have a fear of the dentist being in my late 30s . After my review etc with the dentist it was forgone conclusion that a full on extraction was required the dentist himself was unbelievable reassuring excellent service total professionalism which I haven’t come across recently, great team whom care about the patient journey I most certainly didn’t just feel like a number under their care . Thank you to all staff at Larkham House Dental Practice.
