If you’re living in Invercargill or the wider Southland region and you’re looking for that fresh, renewed glow, then microdermabrasion could be the treatment you’ve been searching for. At Flawless Beauty our clients often ask: “What is microdermabrasion, and why is everyone talking about it?” Here are five strong reasons why microdermabrasion in Invercargill has become the go-to glow-boosting treatment — and why you may want to book your next session now.
1. Instant Brightness — See and Feel the Glow
When you undergo a microdermabrasion treatment, the outermost layer of dead skin cells is gently exfoliated, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. Scientific explanation: the procedure uses an exfoliation medium (often diamond-tipped or crystal vacuum) to remove the stratum corneum (the top layer of epidermis) and stimulate renewal.
What this means for you in Invercargill: Because of our cooler, often damp climate, skin can sometimes look dull or fatigued — microdermabrasion helps lift that tired look and gives you a visible glow.
At Flawless Beauty, we offer an Express Microdermabrasion (25 min) and a Vintage Microdermabrasion (45 min) option.
2. Improves Skin Texture & Tone
Beyond just brightness, microdermabrasion is highly effective at smoothing the skin’s surface: reducing mild surface blemishes, evening out texture, softening fine lines, and improving skin tone. For example the clinic chain The Cosmetic Clinic describes microdermabrasion as helping to “refresh & refine dull skin” and “promote a more even skin tone”.
For clients in Invercargill, that means less visible pores, smoother cheeks and forehead, and a more polished look — perfect if you’re preparing for a special event or simply want everyday radiance.
3. Minimal Downtime — Fit Into Your Busy Life
One of the biggest appeals of microdermabrasion is that it’s non-invasive, generally comfortable, and requires minimal recovery time. According to sources, microdermabrasion is “a relatively simple, easy, painless and non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure.
In practical terms at Flawless Beauty: you can schedule a lunch-time Express Microdermabrasion, perhaps in between errands in the Invercargill central mall, and be back to your day with fresh skin. The convenience makes it an ideal treatment for busy individuals.
4. Tailored for Your Skin — Customised at Flawless Beauty
Not all microdermabrasion treatments are created equal. At Flawless Beauty, each session is tailored: your therapist analyses your skin type and condition, selects the right exfoliation level and after-care, and uses premium skincare brands. Our website emphasises this personalised approach: “Our friendly therapists are highly trained beauty experts who know how to make you look beautiful.”
Why this matters: whether you have sensitive skin, blemishes, age lines, or pigmentation concerns (which may be more common with Southland’s climate), a tailored microdermabrasion plan ensures you get results and maintain skin health.
5. Cost-Effective Skin Renewal Option
When compared to more intensive treatments (like lasers or deep chemical peels), microdermabrasion offers an excellent balance of effectiveness vs. cost and downtime. For example: The Cosmetic Clinic lists their “Microderm – High Performance – Face” treatment at NZ $179 for one session.
At Flawless Beauty Invercargill, you’ll find the Express Microdermabrasion at $80 for 40 minutes and the .
That makes it an accessible treatment for many, with regular repeat sessions helping maintain glow without breaking the budget.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What exactly is microdermabrasion?
A: Microdermabrasion is a professional skin-treatment procedure that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells (stratum corneum) and stimulates skin renewal. It is non-invasive and does not require needles or anaesthetic.
Q2. How many sessions do I need and how often?
A: Many clients will see visible improvement after one session — fresher skin, improved tone and texture. However, for sustained results, a course of sessions is recommended: perhaps once every 3-4 weeks for maintenance, depending on your skin-condition. (Sources suggest that in clinics they may recommend fortnightly to monthly treatments for best results.)
Q3. What should I do before and after my session?
A: Before: avoid recent sun-exposure or sunbeds, no strong retinol or AHA/BHA products a few days prior. After: Avoid harsh treatments, exfoliants, heavy exercise immediately; keep skin hydrated, apply SPF. At The Cosmetic Clinic, they provide detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions.
Q4. Is microdermabrasion suitable for all skin types?
A: Generally yes — it is suitable for most skin types. However if you have very sensitive skin, active acne cysts, open sores, or recent isotretinoin use, your therapist will assess suitability. The Cosmetic Clinic emphasises a consultation.
Q5. Are there any side-effects or downtime?
A: Side-effects are minimal and typically include light redness, mild tingling or sensitivity immediately after the treatment. Because it’s non-invasive, downtime is short and you can resume normal activities quite quickly.
