Skin Resurfacing
Microdermabrasion
Reveal fresh, glowing skin. A gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and uncovers the brighter, smoother skin underneath.
What Can Microdermabrasion Treat?
Smooth. Fresh. Renewed.
Microdermabrasion gently buffs away the outermost layer of dead skin, revealing the fresh, healthy skin beneath. It is one of the safest and most effective ways to improve skin texture.
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Clogged pores and blackheads
- Uneven skin texture
- Fine lines and shallow wrinkles
- Mild acne scars
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
"Your best skin is right beneath the surface."

Technology
How It Works
A diamond-tip wand or fine crystals gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin while suction removes the debris. This stimulates blood flow and encourages new cell growth for a brighter, smoother complexion.
Gentle Exfoliation
Controlled abrasion removes dead cells while suction stimulates circulation and collagen production.
"Polish away the old. Let the new shine through."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is microdermabrasion painful?
No. Most patients describe it as a mild scratching or vibrating sensation. It is very comfortable and requires no anesthesia.
How long does a session take?
A typical session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area treated and whether a facial is included.
Is there downtime after microdermabrasion?
Almost none. You may have mild redness for a few hours, but most patients return to work or normal activities immediately.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients see improvement after one session, but a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart gives the best results.
Can microdermabrasion help with acne?
Yes. It helps unclog pores, reduce excess oil, and smooth the texture of mild acne scars. It is often combined with other treatments for active breakouts.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types and tones because it does not use heat or light energy.
How is it different from a chemical peel?
Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation (crystals or a diamond tip) to remove dead skin, while chemical peels use acid solutions. Your provider will recommend the best option for your skin.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
It is best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to recover and avoid irritation.
Are there side effects?
Common side effects include:
- Mild redness
- Slight tightness or dryness
- Temporary sensitivity
- Minor flaking (peeling)
These are temporary and usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.
How much does microdermabrasion cost?
