Does microdermabrasion hurt?

Most people describe a mild scratching or suction sensation. Treatment should not cause sharp pain, so tell Jody immediately if something feels uncomfortable.

How often should I schedule microdermabrasion?

The right frequency depends on your skin, the treatment performed, and your other skincare products. Jody can help you consider appropriate timing.

Is microdermabrasion better than dermaplaning?

Neither treatment is automatically better. Microdermabrasion uses specialized equipment for exfoliation, while dermaplaning uses a blade to remove surface cells and fine facial hair. Your goals and skin condition help determine the better fit.

Will microdermabrasion remove acne scars?

Microdermabrasion may improve the appearance of mild surface unevenness, but it cannot reliably remove deep acne scars. A dermatologist can recommend options for more significant scarring.

Can I wear makeup afterward?

Your skin may be sensitive after treatment. Ask Jody when to resume makeup based on your skin's response and the aftercare guidance provided.

Understanding the Treatment

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive skincare treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of skin using specialized equipment.

Depending on the device, treatment may involve a diamond-tipped applicator or fine exfoliating crystals, often paired with suction to lift away loosened surface cells. By removing some of this buildup, microdermabrasion can help improve the look and feel of the skin's surface.

It is not a deep resurfacing procedure, and it doesn't permanently change your skin. Instead, it offers a focused way to refresh your complexion as part of a thoughtful skincare routine.

Microdermabrasion vs. a Traditional Facial

A traditional facial may emphasize cleansing, hydration, masks, and relaxation. Microdermabrasion focuses more specifically on surface exfoliation. Both can be enjoyable skincare experiences, but they serve different purposes. Jody can help you understand which option best matches your goals, whether you're interested in a focused exfoliation treatment or a longer facial experience.

The Results

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Professional exfoliation offers a variety of cosmetic benefits for suitable skin types, revealing a fresher and more vibrant appearance.

Enjoy Smoother-Feeling Skin

Rough patches and surface buildup can make your skin feel less smooth than you'd like. Microdermabrasion removes dead cells from the outer surface, which may leave treated areas feeling softer and more even.

Refresh a Dull-Looking Complexion

When dead surface cells accumulate, skin may appear tired or lackluster. Professional exfoliation can help reveal a fresher-looking complexion, making microdermabrasion appealing when your skin needs a little extra attention.

Improve Appearance of Surface Texture

If you're bothered by minor unevenness, microdermabrasion may help the skin's surface look more refined. Results vary, and deeper scars or significant textural concerns generally require different treatment approaches.

Feel Ready for a Special Occasion

Sometimes you simply want to feel your best before a celebration, vacation, or important event. Because temporary redness or sensitivity is possible, ask Jody about scheduling rather than booking immediately before an event.

The Process

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your microdermabrasion experience begins with a conversation about your skin. Jody will ask what you'd like to improve and review factors that may affect treatment, including recent exfoliation, skincare products, and sensitivity.

Before starting, she'll explain the planned approach so you know what to expect. During treatment, the exfoliating device moves across suitable areas of the skin. You may notice a mild scratching or suction sensation.

The experience should not be sharply painful. Let Jody know if anything feels uncomfortable. If other skincare steps are included in your appointment, she'll explain their purpose and how they complement the exfoliation. The focus is always on attentive care, not aggressive treatment.

Important Considerations

Caring for Your Skin After Microdermabrasion

After exfoliation, your skin may feel temporarily sensitive or appear slightly pink. Good aftercare helps you enjoy the experience while avoiding unnecessary irritation.

Keep your routine simple with gentle cleansing and a suitable moisturizer.
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is especially important when caring for freshly exfoliated skin.
Avoid harsh scrubs, strong exfoliating products, and unnecessary friction until your skin has settled.

If you're planning another facial, peel, or cosmetic treatment, mention your recent microdermabrasion appointment so the timing can be considered.

Special Events

Is Microdermabrasion Right for You?

Microdermabrasion may be a good option for clients interested in smoother-feeling skin, mild surface texture concerns, or a refreshed appearance. However, it isn't suitable for every skin condition.

Active inflammation, open wounds, sunburn, infections, significant irritation, and certain medical skin conditions can make exfoliation inappropriate. Recent cosmetic procedures, prescription treatments, and products such as retinoids may also affect your skin's sensitivity.

Share this information with Jody before your appointment. If you're dealing with persistent acne, deep scarring, or a medical skin concern, a dermatologist can help you explore appropriate treatment options.
