As a noninvasive epidermal resurfacing treatment, your aesthetician will use a handheld device to gently loosen and knock off dead skin cells on the outer layer of the skin. Tiny crystals exfoliate to break up dead skin cells. After the exfoliation, a vacuum suction carefully clears up the dead skin cells and reveals fresh, healthy skin.

The treatment is not painful, and there is no need for anesthetics before Microdermabrasion. Some patients say it feels like a gritty facial massage with minor scratching or vibrating. Our team of skilled professionals is happy to adjust the intensity of your Microdermabrasion session to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. Most sessions last about 30 to 40 minutes, and you can go home right after your procedure.

One of the best things about the treatment is that it works with any skin type. While some facials are better for specific skin types, Microdermabrasion subtly enhances your complexion and addresses most minor cosmetic concerns. There are many benefits of Microdermabrasion, as it helps treat:

• Age spots
• Skin discoloration
• Sun damage
• Acne scars
• Shallow lines and wrinkles
• Clogged pores
• Uneven complexion
• Melasma
• Scars (including acne scars)

Microdermabrasion unblocks pores, removes dead skin cells, and reveals clean, bright skin.

Microdermabrasion gently removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, revealing fresh, smooth skin beneath. This brightens the complexion for a more radiant appearance.

Since Microdermabrasion effectively exfoliates the skin, it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities. This helps unclog pores, minimize black and whiteheads, and clear the face. Some patients experience a brief acne purge after treatment as the pores are no longer blocked, but this only improves the skin in the long run.

If you have rough or uneven skin on your face, Microdermabrasion can help. Its gentle abrasion and suction leave you with soft, smooth skin. The fresh layer of skin revealed with treatment also brings a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Since Microdermabrasion helps products absorb into the skin better, you can enhance your at-home skincare routine. Without dead skin cells clogging pores, your cleansers, serums, and creams will be more effective.

Hyperpigmentation is a common concern that causes some areas of the skin to appear darker than others. From sun damage to age spots, Microdermabrasion helps to lighten these dark spots for a more even complexion.

Collagen is a naturally found protein that keeps skin firm and plump but decreases with age and hormonal factors. The exfoliation and suction during a Microdermabrasion facial promotes collagen production within deeper layers of the skin.

Dead skin cells settle into fine lines, making them more noticeable. Clearing the skin of these impurities improves existing wrinkles. Plus, the extra collagen production over time enhances skin elasticity and can help prevent deeper wrinkles.

One session is enough to see the difference in your complexion. Results last around a month. If you choose to do so, you can continue to build on your results by including Microdermabrasion in your skincare routine. Depending on your skin concerns, we typically recommend three to six sessions, with at least a week between treatments.

After you’ve reached your desired results, you can maintain them with monthly treatments. Our team of experienced estheticians will work with you to establish a plan based on your existing skin conditions and your goals.

What is the Recovery Time for Microdermabrasion?

No recovery time is necessary after Microdermabrasion, but your skin may be a little red or sensitive for up to 24 hours. Since you don’t have to give yourself downtime, you can go about your regular activities as soon as your appointment is complete!

Some patients experience some mild side effects, including:

• Swelling
• Redness
• Discoloration
• Sensitivity

These effects usually go away quickly. For the first 24 hours, we recommend keeping your skin cool, which means no hot showers, saunas, etc. Use gentle products, and if you can, avoid makeup the first day after treatment. Microdermabrasion facials are very popular because they are incredibly effective and require no downtime.
