Exfoliation Spa Treatments are one of the most effective ways to reveal brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin. By removing the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface, you allow your skincare products to absorb better and your complexion to glow. But with so many methods available, it can be confusing to know which type of exfoliation is right for you—and how often you should do it.
Let’s break it down.
Exfoliation Spa Treatments: A Guide to Exfoliation – What Type & How Often?
Mechanical Exfoliation
Mechanical exfoliation uses physical particles or tools to slough off dead skin cells. This can include scrubs with gentle beads, brushes, or exfoliating cloths.
Best for:
- Normal to oily skin types
- Those who like instant smoothness and a polished feel
At Azure, we love recommending comfortably gentle scrubs that smooth without stripping away your natural oils – such as Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant®
Chemical Exfoliation
Chemical exfoliation relies on active ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells.
Best for:
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Congested or acne-prone skin
- Sensitive skin (when using mild formulas)
At Azure Spa, our Chemical Peel treatments provide a series of light chemical peels, offering a great way to treat acne, dry aging skin, uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and poor hydration. Our peels have no down-time and all our clients have to take care of is their fresh, radiant skin.
Microdermabrasion
A microdermabrasion treatment uses abrasive material and a vacuum to safely and effectively remove the upper dead skin layer of skin (Stratum Corneum). At Azure Skin Care Spa + Medical we use the Pristine Microdermabrasion System to treat our clients. The system uses diamond tips to gently scrape the dead skin which is then whisked away by the vacuum. The system is fully adjustable to provide the perfect settings for each client. After the exfoliation, an appropriate serum and a mask are applied to soothe and replenish the new soft, smooth skin.. Each microdermabrasion includes a personalised facial.
Silk Peel
More than microdermabrasion, this non–invasive treatment is fully customizable for each client and the perfect solution to address a wide variety of skin concerns and conditions from head–to–toe, including wrinkles and acne. It is suitable for all skin types and tones.
At Azure, we combine expertise, advanced technology, and a client-focused approach to deliver Exfoliation Spa Treatments that truly transform your skin. Whether it’s a facial concern or full-body rejuvenation, we create a plan that works for you.
