Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion suits many skin types, including dullness and mild scarring. Sensitive or rosacea-prone skin may need assessment. Our estheticians evaluate your complexion during a consultation to recommend the safest, most effective approach or alternative treatments if necessary.

A typical session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes including cleansing, treatment and soothing serums. Timing varies by concerns and add-ons; expect a short consultation before treatment and minimal downtime so you can return to daily activities afterward.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Deeper scarring or pigmentation may require more sessions or combined modalities; we'll create a personalized plan based on your skin goals and progress.

You might experience temporary redness, mild sensitivity, or slight flaking for 24 to 72 hours. These are normal and resolve quickly with proper aftercare. Serious side effects are rare; contact us if you experience persistent irritation or unusual discomfort.

Yes — Microdermabrasion can reduce mild to moderate acne scars and age spots by resurfacing and promoting cell renewal. Deeper scars or severe hyperpigmentation may respond better to combined or more intensive treatments, which we'll discuss during your consultation.

Avoid retinoids, chemical peels, waxing and excessive sun exposure for at least a week before treatment. Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, hydration, and broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily. Follow your esthetician’s tailored instructions to protect results and minimize irritation.
