Reveal Brighter, Smoother Skin

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that uses a specialized device to gently polish the outermost layer of skin. By removing dead skin cells and surface buildup, it helps improve the appearance of dullness and uneven texture.

At Saltbox, we tailor your treatment to your skin’s needs, whether you’re looking for an occasional refresh or ongoing skincare maintenance.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Brighter, More Radiant Skin

Gently removing dead skin cells helps reveal a fresher-looking complexion.

Smoother Texture

Microdermabrasion softens rough patches and leaves skin feeling smoother and more refined.

Less Surface Congestion

Exfoliation helps remove buildup that can contribute to mild congestion and blackheads.

Softer-Looking Fine Lines

Treatments may soften the appearance of superficial fine lines, with results depending on your skin’s condition.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients return to their usual activities after treatment, making microdermabrasion an easy addition to a regular skincare routine.

Is Microdermabrasion Right for You?

Microdermabrasion may be a good option for patients concerned with:

Dull or tired-looking skin
Rough or uneven texture
Mild uneven skin tone
Superficial fine lines
Blackheads and surface congestion

Our team will assess your skin and review your skincare routine before treatment. If your skin is irritated, inflamed, or particularly sensitive, we may recommend a different approach.

Microdermabrasion vs. Dermaplaning

Both treatments exfoliate the skin, but they work differently.

Microdermabrasion uses a specialized device to polish the skin’s surface, helping address rough texture and mild congestion.

Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz.

We can help you choose the treatment that best fits your skin and goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

A typical microdermabrasion treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

Your appointment begins with a thorough cleanse. Your provider then gently passes the microdermabrasion device across the skin to exfoliate and remove surface buildup. Soothing, hydrating products and sunscreen complete your treatment.

Most patients describe a light polishing sensation with gentle suction. Your provider adjusts the treatment to keep you comfortable.

After Your Treatment

Your skin may feel smoother immediately afterward. Temporary pinkness, tightness, or mild sensitivity can occur.

How Often to Schedule

Treatments are often spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s needs. Your provider can recommend a schedule that complements your skincare routine and other treatments.

Post-Treatment Care

Keep your skincare routine gentle after treatment. Use a mild cleanser and moisturizer, and follow the personalized instructions provided at your appointment.

For the First 24 Hours

Avoid excessive sweating, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, swimming pools, and harsh exfoliants.

Pause Strong Skincare Products

Your provider may recommend pausing retinol, Retin-A, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and other potentially irritating products for 3–5 days, or until your skin feels comfortable.

Prioritize Sun Protection

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and reapply as directed. Limit direct sun exposure and wear a protective hat outdoors.

Applying Makeup

If your skin feels sensitive or looks pink, wait until the following day to apply makeup. Your provider can advise you based on your skin’s response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does microdermabrasion hurt, and is there downtime?

Most patients find microdermabrasion comfortable, describing a light polishing sensation with gentle suction. Downtime is usually minimal, although temporary pinkness, tightness, or sensitivity can occur. Your provider will explain what to expect based on your skin.

Can microdermabrasion help with acne scars?

Microdermabrasion may improve superficial unevenness, but it generally offers limited improvement for deeper or indented acne scars. Our team can discuss whether EVO Microneedling, Sylfirm X RF Microneedling, or another treatment may better suit your concerns.

Is microdermabrasion suitable for all skin types?

Many skin types can benefit, but microdermabrasion is not appropriate for every skin condition. Irritated skin, active inflammation, or certain sensitivities may require a different approach. We will assess your skin and review your current skincare routine before recommending treatment.
