Microdermabrasion provides two key benefits that contribute to healthier, more radiant skin. First, it effectively removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, which tend to accumulate over time and clog pores. This buildup can cause the complexion to appear dull, rough, and tired. By sloughing off these dead cells, microdermabrasion reveals the fresher, brighter skin underneath and allows skincare products to absorb more effectively.
This surface layer also bears much of the damage caused by daily environmental exposure—such as pollution, sun, and wind—so gently polishing it away helps reduce the visible signs of wear and tear. During the procedure, the exfoliated material is not left behind; instead, it is carefully suctioned off the skin using a small, specialized vacuum device. This process ensures a clean, smooth finish and supports better circulation and cell regeneration.
Second, a microdermabrasion treatment encourages healing processes in the newly revealed layers to kick into a higher gear. As the production of beneficial skin components like collagen and elastin increases, the effect can be visible in a rejuvenated, youthful look.
In other words, as old layers of skin are gently loosened and vacuumed away, new, healthier skin will appear in its place, making you look younger and healthier with every treatment!*
Many patients have asked themselves, “Why aren’t my skincare products working?” As an added benefit of microdermabrasion, topical skin products will be able to more easily penetrate the surface to be absorbed by the skin. This is because there is less of a barrier for their entry – by exfoliating the outer layer, this treatment creates a pathway for topical products. As the products make their way into the tissue, they can provide nourishing, healing, and moisturizing benefits that further improve the look of the treatment area.
