As someone with a pretty packed schedule, my skin often bears the brunt of early mornings, late nights, and far too many hours in front of a screen. So, when I spotted the chance to try Injex Clinics’ signature microdermabrasion at their new Brisbane CBD location, I knew this wasn’t just a beauty treatment – it was a sign to indulge in a (well-earned) seasonal reset for my skin.
First impressions
Walking into Injex Clinics for the first time, I was met with calm interiors and even calmer professionals – exactly the kind of energy you want when your skin’s been screaming for help. After a quick consult about my tell-tale signs of ‘busy-girl burnout’ (read: congestion, dullness, and general fatigue), we agreed microdermabrasion would deliver the refresh I needed.
So, what is microdermabrasion? The treatment uses a medical-grade diamond tip combined with vacuum technology to gently buff and polish the skin, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. It’s ideal for tackling early signs of ageing, dryness, post-acne scarring, congestion, pigmentation, and sunspots – basically, everything my schedule tends to invite. Sign me up!
The treatment rundown
• Double cleanse with a Vitamin A Pumpkin cleanser• Chemical exfoliation using lactic acid and encapsulated jojoba• The microdermabrasion itself – diamond tip + suction• A professional glycolic peel• Extractions by a trained therapist• Sonophoresis (ultrasound vibration to enhance product absorption- my personal favourite)• Moisturiser + eye cream• A light CC cream finish with SPF
The experience
Not just a quick buff-and-go facial, but a nine-step ritual blending clinical precision with spa-level comfort. What struck me most was how structured yet indulgent the process felt.
Once the exfoliation was done, things got a little futuristic. Enter sonophoresis – a low-frequency sound wave treatment that helps serums penetrate deeper into the skin. The gentle hum and subtle warmth felt like my face was quietly being recharged. By the end, I could already see the difference: refined texture, subtle glow, and that post-treatment radiance that feels filter-level IRL.
It was luxe without being over the top – that perfect middle ground of high-end but approachable.
The verdict
Afterwards, I caught my reflection and thought, YES – this is what a skin reset looks like. My complexion was noticeably brighter and smoother, with a soft, natural glow that lasted well beyond the appointment.
I could already see the effects – smoother skin, refined pores, and boosted blood flow. For me, this meant:
• A more even tone under bright lighting (a small win that feels huge when you work in content creation)• Faded fine lines from screen time and sleep deprivation• Skincare that suddenly felt more effective – every serum seemed to sink in deeper and faster
If you’re after a treatment that delivers real skin benefits without downtime, this is it. Injex’s microdermabrasion strikes the perfect balance between effective and effortless – a visible glow-up that also supports long-term skin health. At $129, it’s well-priced for the results and experience. For someone like me, chasing naturally luminous, low-maintenance skin, it fits right in with my minimal fuss routine.
Would I go back?
Absolutely. In a fast-paced industry where clear, fresh skin makes all the difference, this treatment hit every mark: professional, results-driven, and instantly confidence-boosting.
