Microdermabrasion

How the Treatment Works

A highly controlled spray of fine medical-grade aluminum oxide crystals is applied to your face followed by a vacuum system that pulls up the dead skin and crystals. Afterward, a soothing hydrating cream is applied to the treated area. The procedure takes about 30 minutes.

The number of treatments recommended for maximal results range between five and 12 treatments, spaced 1 to 3 weeks apart. Major changes like reduction of fine lines and hyperpigmentation become visible after five treatments.

A maintenance treatment is recommended at least every three months. Long-term treatments are medically proven to rebuild the collagen and fibrin in your skin giving it a tighter, fuller appearance.

A bit of mild redness will be the extent of your downtime, making this a highly popular procedure among our busier and more active patients. You’ll be able to rejoin your busy schedule without missing a beat!

Microdermabrasion FAQs

Will microdermabrasion help with large pores or oily skin?

Can I wear makeup immediately after my microdermabrasion treatment?

While you can technically apply makeup after treatment, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours to allow your freshly exfoliated skin to breathe and heal properly. Your skin will be more sensitive immediately after the procedure, and applying makeup could irritate the treated area.

Is microdermabrasion painful, and what does it feel like during treatment?

Most patients describe microdermabrasion as a gentle scratching or tingling sensation rather than pain. The entire experience is typically quite comfortable and relaxing, with many patients finding it similar to a deep facial massage.

How does microdermabrasion compare to chemical peels for treating fine lines and sun damage?

Both treatments exfoliate the skin, but they work differently. Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells from the surface, while chemical peels use acids to dissolve the bonds between skin cells at varying depths.

Can microdermabrasion help reduce the appearance of acne scars?

Microdermabrasion can improve the appearance of superficial acne scarring by promoting new skin cell growth and smoothing surface texture. However, deeper or pitted acne scars may require more aggressive treatments such as laser resurfacing, microneedling, or dermal fillers.

Are there any skin conditions that would prevent me from having microdermabrasion?

Certain conditions may make you unsuitable for microdermabrasion, including active acne breakouts, rosacea flare-ups, open wounds, active cold sores, or recent sunburn. Additionally, patients with extremely sensitive skin, eczema, or dermatitis should discuss alternatives with Dr. Cappuccino's team.

What skincare products should I use between microdermabrasion treatments?

Following your microdermabrasion sessions, your skin will be more receptive to skincare products, making it an ideal time to use high-quality serums and moisturizers. Consistent daily sunscreen use is absolutely essential, as your newly exfoliated skin will be more vulnerable to sun damage.

Will microdermabrasion help with large pores or oily skin?

Yes, microdermabrasion can temporarily reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by removing dead skin cells and debris that can make pores look larger. The treatment also helps regulate oil production by thoroughly cleaning and exfoliating the skin.
