Exfoliate and Make Your Skin Glow

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin using a specialized device. It’s ideal for treating fine lines, sun damage, mild acne scarring, and uneven skin tone or texture. By polishing the surface of your skin, microdermabrasion stimulates natural cell turnover and promotes collagen production—leaving your complexion noticeably brighter and smoother. The results are immediate.

Microdermabrasion Treats:

  • Fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Uneven tone and texture
  • Mild acne and superficial acne scars
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Clogged or enlarged pores
  • Dry, flaky patches
  • Rough or congested skin

How Microdermabrasion is Done

During your microdermabrasion treatment, your provider will use a handheld device to gently exfoliate your skin with fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand. As it glides across your face, it removes dead skin cells while a vacuum system suctions them away.

You may feel a mild scratching or vibrating sensation, but it’s not painful. The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and requires no downtime. Afterward, your skin will feel smoother, look more radiant, and be better prepared to absorb nourishing skincare products.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion:

  • Non-invasive with no downtime
  • Safe for most skin types
  • Quick, in-office treatment
  • Immediate improvement in skin texture and glow
  • Enhances the absorption of skincare products
  • Stimulates natural collagen production
  • Gently resurfaces without harsh chemicals or needles

Is Microdermabrasion Safe for Sensitive Skin?

Yes, microdermabrasion is generally safe for sensitive skin. Your treatment can be customized to suit your skin type and comfort level. If your skin is prone to redness, your provider may use a gentler setting and take extra care to soothe the skin afterward. Always let your provider know about any sensitivities during your consultation so they can tailor the treatment to your needs.

Microdermabrasion FAQs

How Often Should I Get Microdermabrasion?

For general maintenance and a healthy glow, many people benefit from treatments every 4 to 6 weeks. If you’re targeting specific concerns like acne scars or pigmentation, you may start with a series of sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a schedule that supports your goals while giving your skin time to regenerate between treatments.

Is There Any Downtime or Aftercare I Should Know About?

There’s no true downtime with microdermabrasion, but your skin may appear slightly pink and feel more sensitive for a day or two. After treatment, avoid harsh exfoliants, direct sun exposure, and overly active skincare products (like retinol or acids) for 48 hours. Be sure to hydrate your skin and apply sunscreen daily, as your skin will be more vulnerable to UV rays.

Will I See the Results Right Away?

Yes, many people notice an immediate improvement in how their skin looks and feels—brighter, softer, and more refreshed. For longer-term benefits like smoother texture, reduced fine lines, or lightened pigmentation, a series of treatments is usually recommended.
