Surface texture, addressed mechanically.
A device lifts dead skin cells and buildup right off the surface. The result: more even tone and smoother texture, with no downtime.

What actually happens
The device has a diamond-tip or crystal-flow head. We pass it across the skin under gentle suction.
The tip lifts away the outer layer of dead skin cells. As it works, the suction draws that loosened material into the device instead of leaving it on your face.
It is straightforward mechanical exfoliation — no chemical peel involved. The suction also gives circulation in the treated area a mild boost.
Who this suits
This treatment suits surface-level dullness, mild texture issues, or general buildup. It clears what a standard facial's hand exfoliation does not fully reach.
It is gentler than microneedling or a medical-grade peel. That makes it a good first step if this kind of care is new to you.
It also suits skin too reactive for stronger actives. We do not suggest it during an active rosacea flare.
The mechanical action and suction can aggravate inflamed skin.
Where it fits relative to other treatments
This treatment sits in the middle of the range. It goes deeper than an at-home scrub.
Yet it stays gentler than microneedling or a medical-grade peel. We often suggest it when the skin read shows surface buildup as the main issue.
Deeper texture or firmness concerns point to a different treatment instead.
Pause retinoids a couple of days beforehand — we ask, and we'd rather reschedule than work over primed skin.
Common questions
Is microdermabrasion the same as a chemical peel?
No. This treatment is fully mechanical. A device lifts away dead skin cells under suction. No acid or chemical exfoliant is involved.
Will microdermabrasion help with acne scarring?
It can improve surface texture and tone. But it works at a shallower depth than microneedling. Deeper acne scarring usually does better with the needling. After a skin read, we can tell you which one fits your scars.
Is there any downtime?
None. Skin may look mildly flushed for a short time after treatment. There is no peeling and no limit on activity afterward.
Can I get microdermabrasion if I have rosacea?
Not during an active flare. The mechanical action and suction can aggravate inflamed skin. Mention rosacea at intake, and we will suggest a gentler option or better timing.
How often should I book microdermabrasion?
Every three to four weeks is typical for keeping surface texture smooth. We will confirm an interval based on how your skin responds.
