Microdermabrasion
Exfoliating & Radiant
Microdermabrasion is a treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by gently exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion beneath. Ideal for addressing a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, light scarring, and uneven skin tone, our Microdermabrasion uses a fine crystal or diamond-tipped wand to polish the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of healthy new cells.

Q&A
A: Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses a specialized device to gently remove the outer layer of the skin, primarily the dead skin cells from the epidermis. It's designed to improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.
A: The procedure works by using a device that either sprays fine crystals or uses a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the surface of the skin. This process removes the dead and dull surface layers of the skin, stimulating an increase in collagen production and rejuvenation. Many patients see improvements in the tone, texture, and color of treated areas after just one treatment.
A: Microdermabrasion is generally not painful. Clients may experience a mild scratching sensation as the exfoliating crystals or diamond tip work on the skin. There's also a suction mechanism to lift off the dead skin, which can feel like a slight tugging on the skin. A calming moisturizer and sunscreen are applied after the procedure to soothe the skin.
A: After treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink and feel as though it's windburned, but this usually subsides within 24 hours. Most people can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure. It's important to keep the skin hydrated and to use gentle skincare products. Also, sunscreen must be applied diligently to protect the new skin from direct sunlight.
A: Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types and colors. It's an excellent option for people looking to improve skin texture, eliminate dullness, or reduce the appearance of minor imperfections. Those with deep acne scars, active keloids, or undiagnosed lesions should consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional before undergoing treatment.
A: While clients may notice improvements after a single session, optimal results typically require a series of treatments. The exact number can vary depending on the individual's skin condition and goals. Most skincare professionals recommend between 5 to 12 sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart.
A: Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors. Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area, which usually disappear within a few hours. Since the procedure involves skin exfoliation, there's a small risk of skin irritation or infection if aftercare instructions are not followed properly.
A: A typical microdermabrasion session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. No downtime is required, making it a convenient option for those with a busy schedule.
A: Yes, microdermabrasion can be combined with other treatments, such as chemical peels or LED light therapy, for enhanced results. However, it's essential to consult with a skincare professional to determine the best treatment plan based on your skin type and concerns.
A: Post-treatment care involves moisturizing the skin regularly, avoiding harsh skin products, and protecting the skin from the sun using a high-SPF sunscreen. Avoiding direct sun exposure and not picking at the skin are also important to ensure the best healing and results.
