Microdermabrasion uses a gentle abrasive stream or diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the outer skin layer, promoting cellular turnover and revealing smoother skin. Expect a quick, comfortable treatment with mild redness and an immediate brighter, more refined complexion.

Yes—Microderm can be customized for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Our estheticians adjust intensity, perform a consultation, and may recommend a patch test. Treatments avoid active cystic acne or open lesions and include aftercare to minimize irritation.

Many clients notice immediate improvement in smoothness, brightness, and texture after one session. Deeper concerns like fine lines and uneven pigmentation improve progressively with a series of treatments scheduled several weeks apart for cumulative benefits.

Appointments generally last 30–45 minutes, including a brief consultation and customized treatment. The procedure itself is often 20–30 minutes, followed by calming serums, sunscreen, and post-care advice so you can resume activities quickly.

Side effects are usually mild and short-lived—temporary redness, light flaking, or sensitivity for 24–72 hours. Avoid heavy exfoliation, prolonged sun exposure, and active retinoids immediately after treatment; we provide tailored aftercare to support healing.

For maintenance, schedule Microderm every 3–4 weeks. For more significant texture or discoloration concerns, a series of 4–6 treatments spaced monthly is recommended. Your esthetician will create a personalized plan based on your skin goals.
