Microdermabrasion

Mechanical exfoliation that clears the surface and primes what follows.

MAY 22 2026

What It Is

Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand to mechanically exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, removing dead cells and stimulating circulation at the surface. It is one of the most accessible skin treatments available: no downtime, no recovery period, and a straightforward fit within a monthly maintenance routine or as preparation for other procedures.

How It Works

The device simultaneously abrades and vacuums the skin, removing surface debris and promoting cell turnover. The result is a smoother, more refined texture and improved absorption of skincare products applied afterward. Microdermabrasion is particularly well suited to dull skin, uneven texture, mild hyperpigmentation, and superficial congestion.

What to Expect

Sessions take 30 to 45 minutes. There is no significant discomfort; most patients describe it as a mild scratching sensation. Skin may appear slightly pink immediately after treatment, which resolves within a few hours. Most patients benefit from monthly treatments to maintain results, though frequency can be adjusted based on your skin's response and the other treatments in your plan.

It Depends

Can be valuable - but results, value, or fit are more dependent on the patient, concern, or treatment plan.
