The Procedure
During a microdermabrasion treatment, the clinical technician directs a stream of aluminum oxide crystals into the skin. These crystals exfoliate the skin, while the mild suction created by the microdermabrasion system removes the dead skin cells and crystals.
Recovery & Aftercare
Microdermabrasion is a safe procedure with very few complications if any, which generally subside after a few days.
Expected Results
Microdermabrasion is an extremely popular procedure because of its non-invasive nature. It is a pain-free procedure that benefits patients with fine lines, pigmentation, clogged pores and acne scarring.

Is there any downtime after microdermabrasion?
No significant downtime is needed. Skin may appear slightly pink for 1-2 hours post-treatment, similar to mild windburn. You can return to normal activities immediately and apply makeup if desired. Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+ for a few days.
Book a Consultation
How does microdermabrasion differ from chemical peels?
Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation (crystals or diamond tips) to remove dead skin, while chemical peels use acids. Microdermabrasion has no downtime and is gentler but less dramatic. Chemical peels penetrate deeper for more significant results but require more recovery time.
Book a Consultation
Can microdermabrasion be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microdermabrasion pairs excellently with facials, chemical peels (done separately), LED light therapy, and medical-grade skincare. Combining treatments can enhance overall results. Dr Maresky will recommend the best combination for your skin goals.
