Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical and non-invasive procedure that uses one of two techniques to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin to remove dry, dead cells. This uncovers a fresh, new, smoother layer underneath and leaves you with a more even skin tone and a clearer, glowing complexion.
Microdermabrasion also stimulates the production of new skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin to further improve the surface of your skin. Once the dead skin cells are removed, skin care products and serums can penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers and work their magic to keep your complexion looking its best.
Who Is A Candidate For Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is considered safe for most skin types except those who have rosacea or very sensitive blood vessels close to the surface of their face. It is also not recommended for those with active skin infections.
Microdermabrasion: Procedure, Effects, and Cost
Give your skin a makeover with microdermabrasion. This treatment removes dead skin cells to reveal younger, healthier skin. Through microdermabrasion treatment in Atlanta, your complexion will appear smoother and brighter, and many patients feel that their skin is more youthful.
Procedure Steps
Microdermabrasion can be done using a wet or dry technique, but both offer similar results. If you have an allergy to aluminum, you would want to choose the wet or diamond glow microdermabrasion, as the dry technique utilizes aluminum oxide crystals. Both procedures exfoliate dead skin cells, but wet microdermabrasion can exfoliate deeper and infuse customized serums into the skin during the procedure.
The skin on your face and neck is cleaned to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup to ensure the exfoliation process will be successful and yield the best results.
During dry microdermabrasion, a special hand-held wand sprays tiny crystals onto the surface of your skin similarly to a gentle sandblasting process. Wet microdermabrasion is done using a special tool that is fitted with a special attachment encrusted with minute diamond crystals. The attachment is passed over different parts of the face to exfoliate the dead skin cells.
As the crystals are sprayed onto the skin or the diamond crystal wand is being used to slough off the dead cells, the debris is being vacuumed up and collected into a tiny jar that is attached to the machine.
After the exfoliation is completed, the skin is cleansed to remove any remaining debris, and special serums can be applied to the skin. The type of serum used will depend on your specific skin concerns.
Recovery
There is virtually no downtime after microdermabrasion, but your face will be exceptionally sensitive for several days. You will need to avoid excessive sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. You will also need to avoid activities that cause you to sweat, like going to the gym, using the sauna, sitting in a hot tub, etc., for at least 24 hours. Additionally, you will need to refrain from using skincare treatments that contain AHA, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, retin-A, vitamin C, and retinol for 48 hours after having microdermabrasion treatment.

Had an incredible surgical experience with Dr. Angelina and the entire team of caregivers. Would highly recommend this facility to anyone!

The most professional, yet compassionate set of people I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Medina, Stacey and Christine are heaven sent! I literally followed Dr. Medina from Boston to Atlanta because he’s an excellent surgeon and will deliver hands down. Stacey will literally answer the phone in the middle of the night if you have any questions. Thank you all for contributing to making me feel alive again.

Microdermabrasion FAQs
What Are The Risks Of Microdermabrasion?
Most patients do not experience any adverse effects after undergoing microdermabrasion, but your skin will be more sensitive to the sun for a few weeks. In rare instances, complications such as infection, skin sensitivity, eye irritation, bruising, or petechiae may occur.
How Long Does Microdermabrasion Usually Take?
Typical microdermabrasion treatments take between thirty and forty minutes to complete, and you can return to most of your normal activities right afterward.
Is Microdermabrasion Good For Men?
Yes, men can benefit from microdermabrasion treatments just like their female counterparts. Exfoliation of dead skin cells helps your body to continue to produce new collagen, which improves your complexion. Many men maintain a younger appearance because shaving regularly exfoliates their skin and continually removes dead cells and causes new cells to grow.
The benefits of shaving are limited only to certain areas, but microdermabrasion can help the rest of their face keep up by exfoliating those areas as well. This will leave a man’s skin feeling and looking smoother, more youthful, and refreshed.
How Do I Prepare For A Microdermabrasion Session?
Your SurgiCare Arts & Aesthetics skin care expert will provide you with any pre-procedure instructions you will need to prepare for your specific cosmetic treatment. Before having a microdermabrasion treatment, it is recommended that you avoid sun exposure, waxing, or using certain products a few days before your treatment so your skin is not overly sensitive.
How Many Microdermabrasion Sessions Are Needed For Results?
Clients can usually see visible results after just one session, but a series of treatments may be needed to give you the results you are looking for. Many patients have microdermabrasion treatments every few months for maintenance purposes.
