Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating facial that uses a diamond-tipped wand and gentle suction to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.

No. Most clients describe it as a mild scratching or vibrating sensation with light suction. It is comfortable and relaxing, with no numbing required.

None. Your skin may look slightly pink for a short time, but you can return to your normal routine — and makeup — right away. Wearing SPF afterward is important.

You will see a glow after a single session. For concerns like texture, congestion, or dullness, a series of treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart gives the best cumulative results. We will recommend a plan at your consultation.

Yes. It pairs beautifully with a custom facial, and is often done before a hydrating treatment so your skin absorbs more of the benefits. We will tailor the combination to your skin.

Microdermabrasion is gentle and suitable for most skin types. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, rosacea, or active breakouts, we will assess your skin first and may suggest an alternative.

It is one of our most accessible treatments — a quick, roughly 30-minute session priced below most corrective treatments. The total depends on whether you book a single session, a series (which lowers the per-session cost), or pair it with a facial. You get an exact quote at your free consultation.

The main benefits of microdermabrasion are smoother texture, a brighter and more even tone, softened fine lines, less visible pores, and better absorption of your skincare products. Because it's non-invasive, you get these results with zero downtime — which is why many of our clients keep it on a monthly rotation.
