Microdermabrasion FAQs
Microdermabrasion treats many common skin concerns including the appearance of acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture, leaving you with smoother skin.
While some patients report a mild scratching or vibrating feeling during the procedure, microdermabrasion is not considered painful.
The standard microdermabrasion treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes. This depends on the condition of your skin and the aesthetic goals you discussed with your provider.
The number of sessions can vary based on the skin concerns and cosmetic goals of each patient, but patients usually undergo a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve noticeable results.
Microneedling and microdermabrasion are both popular skin treatments, but they work in different ways and target different skin concerns. Microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone and firmness. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that uses a handheld device to gently sand away the outer layer of the skin. This helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Microdermabrasion is often used to improve the appearance of sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
