This post is long overdue! Three months ago, I was invited to Victorian Cosmetic & Dermal Clinic to try out their microdermabrasion skin treatment. Victorian Cosmetic & Dermal Clinic is located in Endeavour Hills and is about 40 mins drive from the CBD. It was actually perfect timing when I got my treatment done, I had just moved out to the south-eastern suburbs so I wasn’t traveling too far. The clinic offers a lot of different services from laser hair removal to chemical peels.

The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly and professional staff. I was given a questionnaire to fill in about my skin type and condition. After that was done, I met my lovely skin therapist, Tia. We sat down and talked about what I wanted to achieve for my skin and I said to Tia that I wanted to get rid of my uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
The treatment starts off with double cleansing using a gentle cleanser followed by a glyconic cleanser. The cleansers were then removed with a towel and the next step was the exfoliation. So the machine that performs the physical microdermabrasion has a pen like gadget with a gentle suction on the end of it. The pen goes around the face by sections to remove congestion, dead skin and help improve skin circulation. Because this was my first time, Tia gave me 2 passes meaning, she went around my face twice using the pen. After the exfoliation was done, the skin was then prepped with moisturiser and sun protection.
Immediately after the treatment, my face was a little red similar to being sunburnt. The following couple of days, my face was dry and peeling. As soon as the peeling stopped at about day 4, my skin felt and looked amazing. It was so unbelievably smooth, applying my foundation was a breeze. If I could afford a treatment every month, I would definitely get it done. I didn’t really check my watch while I was there but the whole process took slightly more than half an hour.
The cost of the initial treatment is $49 and after that it’s $99 per session or prepay 5 sessions for $445 ($89 per session).
