Microderm
Microdermabrasion smooths and brightens your skin with fine crystals and gentle suction — no chemicals, lasers, or surgery. A treatment takes about 30 minutes, and you can return to your day right away.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microderm, also known as Dermaglow microdermabrasion, is a non-surgical skin treatment. A precision hand-piece directs a stream of very fine crystals and mild suction exactly where your skin needs it, lifting away the dead outer layer while bringing softer skin to the surface.
Because it is not a chemical, laser, or surgical procedure, Microderm is quick, safe, and easy, with no downtime. It is a popular choice for anyone who wants smoother, younger looking skin without the cost, discomfort, or recovery of more aggressive treatments.
Quick and Convenient
Treatments take about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the areas treated, with no downtime afterward.
Safe for All Skin Tones
The Dermaglow process works equally well on every skin color, for both men and women of all ages.
Complimentary Makeup Finish
After your treatment, you receive a complimentary makeup application so you can be on your way looking and feeling great.
Is Microderm Right for You?
Microderm helps address many common concerns, including dull skin, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, blackheads and whiteheads, enlarged pores, oily skin, and dry or patchy skin. The best candidates share a few traits.
- You are in good physical health
- Your skin is not overly sensitive
- You have realistic expectations for your results
- You are willing to commit to a series of treatments
How the Dermaglow Treatment Works
Your esthetician begins by cleansing your skin, then gently moves the hand-piece across the treatment area. A controlled stream of microcrystals polishes the skin while mild suction removes dead cells, oils, and other buildup that contribute to premature aging.
This exfoliation also stimulates collagen production, which helps your skin look firmer and more youthful. When the treatment is finished, residual crystals are brushed off, the area is cleansed and rinsed, and a soothing moisturizer with sunscreen is applied to protect your skin.
What Microderm Can Improve
The Dermaglow procedure has been shown to be safe and effective for the cosmetic reduction of a wide range of skin concerns. It is also a great fit if laser or chemical treatments are not an option for you because of cost, potential side effects, discomfort, or long recovery times.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun-damaged skin
- Acne and acne scars
- Excess oils
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Enlarged pores
- Superficial age spots
Pricing and Treatment Plans
A single Microderm treatment is $135, and a package of six treatments is $675. Most people notice visible results after just one session, but we recommend a series of six for optimal results.
Your esthetician develops a customized plan based on your skin concerns and goals, including the number of treatments and the time between each visit.
Recovery and Aftercare
Mild redness, light swelling, or a slight windburn sensation can appear right after treatment and fades quickly.
There is no downtime. You can return to work and daily activities immediately.
Stay out of the sun for 48 hours, and apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen for a few days.
Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser while your skin settles.
A Patient’s Story
One patient came to The Skin Care Center with the stubborn facial discoloration often called a pregnancy mask. Within two treatments, the mask was gone. She credits Ardie, our skin care specialist, with truly listening, understanding what she needed, and taking care of her problem areas.
