What Is Medical Microdermabrasion?

Medical microdermabrasion is a superficial resurfacing treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells. It helps improve:

• Dull or uneven texture
• Clogged pores
• Mild acne
• Fine lines
• Sun damage
• Superficial pigmentation

This treatment can be performed on the face, neck, and upper chest.

How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tip handpiece combined with gentle suction to exfoliate the top layer of the skin. As dead skin cells are removed, circulation increases and collagen stimulation is supported at the dermal level.

By refining the surface of the skin, microdermabrasion enhances smoothness and allows skincare products to absorb more effectively.

What to Expect from Your Microdermabrasion Treatment at CLC

Consultation
Before treatment, your skincare professional will evaluate your skin and determine whether microdermabrasion is appropriate for your concerns.

During Treatment
A diamond-tip handpiece is used to gently exfoliate the skin while suction removes dead skin cells. The depth of exfoliation is adjusted based on your skin type and goals.

Treatment typically lasts 30 minutes for the face and up to 45 minutes for the face and neck.

After Treatment
A moisturizer and sunscreen are applied following treatment. There is minimal downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately.
