Dermabrasion Training NZ – Advanced Beauty Therapist Upskilling

What is Dermabrasion?

Dermabrasion is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that uses a mechanical exfoliation technique to remove dead skin cells, smooth texture, and promote healthy, radiant skin. Often referred to as microdermabrasion in modern beauty therapy, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, mild scarring, and uneven pigmentation.

It’s a must-have skill for beauty therapists looking to expand their service menu and deliver high-demand treatments to clients seeking visible, instant results.

Why Add Dermabrasion to Your Salon Menu?

Dermabrasion remains one of the most popular non-invasive skin treatments due to its:

• Immediate visible results – smoother, brighter skin from the very first session.

• Minimal downtime – perfect for clients with busy lifestyles.

• Versatility – effective on a wide range of skin concerns.

• Profitability – low consumable costs and repeat treatment potential.

By mastering dermabrasion, you can increase client retention and attract new customers looking for results-driven skin rejuvenation.
