Microdermabrasion in Catford — FAQs
How does microdermabrasion feel?
Like a gentle, gritty exfoliation with a little suction. It is not painful, and your skin may be slightly pink for an hour afterwards.
How far is the salon from Catford?
About 1.4 miles — about 10 minutes by car. We are on Devonshire Road in Forest Hill, SE23, a few minutes' walk from Forest Hill station, which has direct trains from Catford. Appointments are by booking only, so there is never a wait when you arrive.
Can it help with stretch marks?
Yes. A course of microdermabrasion improves the texture and appearance of stretch marks, especially newer ones. We often combine it with microneedling for the best result.
Do you do home visits in Catford?
Yes, for many of our treatments — spray tanning, massage, waxing, lashes, manicures and pedicures and more. Travel to Catford is £10. Treatments that need the salon environment, such as microneedling, peels and injections, are salon-only.
How many sessions do I need?
One session gives an instant glow. For texture, scarring or stretch marks, a course of six, two weeks apart, is typical.
Do you cover all of SE6?
Yes — every part of SE6, and the neighbouring areas of Ladywell, Bellingham, Crofton Park and Hither Green. For home visits the travel fee is the same across the whole area.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Usually yes, as there are no chemicals involved and we can adjust the intensity. We avoid it on active rosacea or broken skin.
How do I book from Catford?
Book online at any time through our booking page, or call 07803 285619. Evening appointments are available most weekdays and we open on Sundays. Out-of-hours and festive-season bookings carry a small surcharge.
What is the difference between this and a peel?
Microdermabrasion is physical exfoliation; a peel is chemical. They treat similar concerns in different ways, and we will recommend whichever suits your skin — or alternate them.
Do I need a patch test?
For lash extensions, tints, peels, BB Glow and a few other treatments, yes — at least 24 hours before your first appointment. Patch tests are free at the salon, and we can post a kit to Catford if that is easier.
