What Is Microdermabrasion?

If your skin appears dull, sun-damaged, or older than you would like, you can expect instant results with a professional Microdermabrasion treatment. This popular in-office procedure can improve your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity, with no risks or downtime. By removing the dead skin cells at the surface of the skin, you can expect topical skincare products to penetrate more effectively along with a much smoother makeup application. Microdermabrasion is a safe, ideal way to uncover fresh, radiant skin. 

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a manual exfoliation technique that gently removes the outer layer of your skin, where the dull, dead skin cells reside. The process is more precise and comprehensive than exfoliation through masks and scrubs. This treatment uses tiny crystals and gentle suction to break apart dead skin cells to reveal the smoother, brighter skin underneath.

Your skincare specialist will gently massage the crystals onto your skin by using a handheld device. This treatment can remove dead skin from your face and neck without causing damage to the fresh, healthy skin below.

Achieving desired results

Each Microdermabrasion treatment starts with your skincare specialist completing a thorough skin analysis. Microdermabrasion can help with the following:

• Shrink pore size
• Lighten & minimize dark spots (sun damage, melasma, post-acne hyperpigmentation)
• Improve skin tone & texture 
• Increase cell turn over & product absorption
• Improve the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles

After your initial treatment, your skin will look brighter, feel tighter, and smoother.

Enhancing Microdermabrasion by combining this procedure with other services such as a chemical peel can give a deeper exfoliation leading to better results.

Immediate results, no downtime 

There is no downtime after a Microdermabrasion treatment. You can get back to your usual routine. You may experience some redness and sensitivity after your treatment, which resolves on its own within several days. Your skin will continue to shed dead skin cells and heal in the days following treatment, and your results will continue to improve.

As the dead skin cells continue to slough off, you may experience some dryness or flaking of the skin. A good quality daily moisturizer will help to combat this. Daily sunscreen application is also recommended, as Microdermabrasion can make your skin more sensitized to the sun in the days following treatment.

Microdermabrasion Benefits

Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick scales and skin types. It is painless and can take up to an hour or less. After your initial Microdermabrasion treatment, expect a more vibrant, brighter, smoother complexion. A series of treatments may be necessary to help achieve desired results.
