Microdermabrasion in Ashburn & Loudoun County

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. This procedure helps to reveal fresher, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. It’s commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

Microdermabrasion uses a special device that sprays tiny crystals onto the skin or employs a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the outer layer of skin. As the crystals or wand are moved across the skin, they gently buff away dead skin cells and promote the renewal of healthier skin beneath. This process stimulates collagen production and helps improve overall skin tone and texture.

Microdermabrasion provides numerous benefits for your skin, including:

• Smoother, softer skin texture
• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• Improved skin tone and radiance
• Reduction in acne scars and age spots
• Minimized pore size
• Diminished sun damage and hyperpigmentation
• Enhanced absorption of skincare products

It’s suitable for most skin types and tones, though individuals with active acne, rosacea, or sensitive skin may need to consult with their provider beforehand.

Microdermabrasion is typically a comfortable treatment. You may feel a mild, gritty sensation as the crystals are applied to your skin, or the wand is moved across your face. Some people describe the sensation as a slight scratching or a light massage. There is no significant pain, and most people find the procedure to be relaxing.

After a microdermabrasion treatment, your skin will feel smoother and look brighter.

You may notice immediate improvement in skin texture and radiance after a microdermabrasion treatment. Results continue to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated and the skin renews.
