Microdermabrasion
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a 30-minute, minimally invasive treatment for the skin that promotes micro-circulation and oxygen production, effectively boosting collagen, elastin, exfoliation, and healthy skin. This procedure can treat:
- Anti-aging
- Pigmentation
- Fine lines
- Laxity

- Neck and decollete
- Hands and arms
- Oily skin

Before, during, and after treatment
The Dermatology Center for Skin Health, PLLC, uses the DermaSweep® system, which does not use aluminum oxide crystals. These crystals can remain in the skin and, ultimately, cause irritation.
It’s essential to talk to an experienced doctor to decide if microdermabrasion is right for you.
Before the Procedure
Our clinical cosmetic specialist performs microdermabrasion at the Dermatology Center for Skin Health, PLLC. Before the procedure, you will clean your face and remove any dirt, makeup, and residue.
During the Procedure
During treatment, you may feel mild skin tightening. After exfoliation, your skin will be smooth. Additionally, after your topical infusion treatment is applied, the moisture will leave your skin with a refreshed feeling.
Treatments usually take 30 minutes but can vary depending on the specific skin condition and your doctor’s professional opinion.
- During the procedure, the clinical assistant will hold your skin taut.
- The clinical cosmetic specialist will move the microdermabrasion tip across the skin in small sections with constant, gentle pressure.
- Dead skin cells are vacuumed away in a controlled manner.
- The new skin is smoother as the vacuum action of the wand stimulates blood flow, cleans the pores and moves the skin debris to the HEPA filter. The increased blood flow to the skin’s surface encourages collagen formation, which firms and tones the epidermis as well.
- We will customize your treatment based on your skin type. We offer paraben-free infusions that include growth factor, peptides, vitamin C, TCA and hyaluronic acid in potent combinations to treat and rejuvenate.
After the Procedure
Following treatment, your skin will have a warm, pinkish glow that can last up to 30 minutes. Your skin is left glowing and super hydrated without being wet.
It may be recommended to utilize the following products after the procedure:
- Biocellulose Recovery Mask
- Post-Procedure Kit:
- Ultra Gentle Cleanser
- Fortified Facial Cream
- Sheer Physical Sunscreen
- Ultra-Hydrating Serum (Hyaluronic Acid)
You will see results after the first treatment. After four to six treatments spaced between ten days to two weeks and post-treatment support, more significant results will occur.
