Microdermabrasion Facial

A gentle physical exfoliation that buffs away dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and reveals smoother, brighter skin. Perfect as a standalone treatment or as prep for other services.

What It Is

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that uses gentle abrasion to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion. Combined with a customized facial, it's one of the most effective ways to instantly improve skin texture and luminosity. Benefits include smoother texture, refined pores, reduced appearance of fine lines, fading of mild sun damage and dark spots, and improved absorption of skincare products. Microdermabrasion is also an excellent prep treatment before peels or laser services for enhanced results.

How It Works

After a thorough cleanse and skin analysis, your provider uses a specialized device that gently exfoliates the surface of your skin. Most modern devices use a diamond-tipped wand combined with light suction, which also stimulates circulation and lymphatic drainage. After exfoliation, hydrating serums, masks, and moisturizers are applied to nourish the freshly revealed skin. The full facial takes about 45–60 minutes. You'll leave with immediately smoother, glowing skin and zero downtime and you can apply makeup the same day if desired.

Ideal Candidate

Microdermabrasion is ideal for clients with dull, congested, or rough-textured skin, mild sun damage, blackheads, or those wanting a quick refresh before an event. It's a great choice for those new to professional treatments or anyone wanting consistent skin maintenance. Microdermabrasion is not recommended for clients with active acne breakouts, rosacea flares, severely sensitive skin, broken capillaries near the surface, or active cold sores. We'll determine the right approach during consultation.

Aftercare & Recovery

Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily. Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 hours. Avoid retinoids, acids, and harsh exfoliants for 2–3 days. Use gentle skincare products as your skin may be slightly more sensitive. Drink plenty of water and apply moisturizer regularly. There's no downtime, most clients return to normal activities and even apply makeup the same day. For ongoing results, consider monthly treatments.
