Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It involves the mechanical exfoliation of the outermost layer of skin using a specialized device. This procedure is commonly performed on the face but can also be applied to other areas of the body.

What to Expect at Your Microdermabrasion Appointment

When you visit our office for your microdermabrasion appointment you can expect to begin with a consultation where you discuss your skin concerns and goals with our skincare professional. They may ask about your medical history, skincare routine, and any previous cosmetic procedures. We will begin with cleaning your skin to remove any makeup, oils, or debris. We will explain the microdermabrasion process, addressing any concerns or questions you may have.

The procedure involves using a device that emits fine crystals or utilizes a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate the outer layer of your skin. Our skincare professional will move the device across your skin in specific patterns, targeting the desired areas.

Microdermabrasion Maintenance Recommendations

You will receive instructions on how to care for your skin post-treatment. This may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and refraining from certain activities that could irritate the skin.

Microdermabrasion Maintenance Schedule

Depending on your skincare goals, our skincare professional may recommend a series of microdermabrasion sessions for optimal results. We will discuss the frequency of follow-up appointments and any additional treatments that may complement microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion FAQs

Microdermabrasion is commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture.

Microdermabrasion is generally not painful. Patients may feel a mild scratching or vibrating sensation during the procedure.

The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Results can vary, but multiple sessions are usually recommended for optimal results, spaced a few weeks apart.

Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin's surface, improving texture, and addressing superficial concerns. Microneedling involves tiny needles to stimulate collagen, reducing fine lines and improving overall skin tone. While both enhance skin quality, microdermabrasion focuses on exfoliation, while microneedling targets deeper skin layers for a more rejuvenating effect. Consult with your skincare professional to determine the best option for your specific goals
