Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion (Hydration & Acne Solutions)
Microdermabrasion at Epicell is a refined, results-driven treatment designed to deeply exfoliate, clear congestion, and enhance skin function—all while supporting the skin barrier.
Using advanced technology, we gently remove dead skin build-up and infuse targeted solutions tailored to your skin’s needs. Whether your focus is hydration, clarity, or acne management, each treatment is customised for optimal results.
This treatment is ideal for:
Congested or acne-prone skin
Dull, dehydrated skin
Uneven texture and tone
Blackheads and superficial congestion
Maintenance between more advanced treatments
Our approach at Epicell:
We focus on treating the skin intelligently and progressively—not aggressively. By combining exfoliation with targeted technologies like Laser Genesis, we create results that are both visible and sustainable.
Treatment Results & Individual Variability Disclaimer
Treatments may assist in improving the appearance and condition of the skin; however, results vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed. Outcomes depend on several factors, including individual skin characteristics, medical history, treatment suitability, lifestyle, adherence to aftercare and individual response to treatment.
Not all treatments are suitable for every patient. A thorough consultation and clinical assessment are required to determine suitability, discuss potential benefits and risks, and establish realistic expectations. Multiple treatments may be required, and some patients may experience minimal or no noticeable improvement.
Why Does Pigmentation Come Back?
You've treated your pigmentation, your skin looks clearer, and then months later you notice those darker patches starting to appear again. Why does pigmentation come back? The answer is that pigmentation is often more than a surface problem. While a treatment may reduce the visible pigment, the factors that caused it can still be present. This is particularly relevant for conditions such as melasma, which can be persistent and prone to recurrence. At Epicell Skin Clinic in Pa

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation After Acne: Why It Happens and What Can Help
Your acne has finally settled, but you're still left with brown or darker marks where the breakouts were. If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH. It is a common concern we see in clinic, and one of the most frustrating parts of having acne because the inflammation may have disappeared while the pigmentation remains.

Is It Pigmentation or Melasma? Understanding the Difference
If you have noticed brown or darker patches appearing on your face, you may have wondered: “Is this pigmentation or melasma?” Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Pigmentation is a broad term used to describe areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding skin. Melasma is a specific chronic pigmentary condition that can have different triggers and requires a more considered approach to treatment. At Epicell Skin Clinic in

Why Do I Look Tired Even When My Skin Looks Good?
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I look tired”, even when you've had a good night's sleep? You may have healthy skin, a good skincare routine and very few wrinkles, yet still feel that your face — particularly around the eyes — looks tired, heavy or less refreshed than it used to.

How and Why Does Our Face Age? Understanding Facial Ageing
Ageing is something every skin experiences, but facial ageing is much more complex than simply developing wrinkles. As we age, changes occur throughout the skin and the underlying structures of the face. Collagen and elastin gradually change, the skin can become thinner and less resilient, facial volume can shift or decrease, and changes occur within the deeper tissues that support the face. Environmental factors, particularly cumulative UV exposure, can accelerate some of th
