Services Microdermabrasion
A gentle, exfoliation-only resurfacing treatment that buffs away dull surface skin — a light-touch option for regular maintenance with no needles and no downtime.
Book Consultation
Microdermabrasion is a gentle mechanical exfoliation treatment. A handheld device passes a fine abrasive tip (or, in some systems, a fine crystal stream) across the skin to buff away the outermost layer of dead, dulling cells, while built-in suction lifts away the exfoliated debris as it goes.
It’s an exfoliation-only treatment — there’s no serum-infusion step involved, which is the key difference from our Diamond Glow facial. That makes it a lighter-intensity option, well suited as an entry point for patients new to resurfacing treatments or as a simple, repeatable step in an ongoing skincare routine.
There’s no downtime to plan around, so it’s easy to fit into a lunch break. We offer both microdermabrasion and Diamond Glow at Laser Aesthetic Spa, and we’ll help match you to the one that fits your skin and goals at a consultation.
Gentle mechanical exfoliation & suction
Exfoliation-only — no serum infusion step
No needles, no downtime
A light-touch entry point or maintenance step
Microdermabrasion is a broad, gentle resurfacing treatment rather than one aimed at a single condition — here’s what patients typically come in for.
Buffing away the outermost layer of dead skin cells reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath.
The suction step lifts away exfoliated debris, helping congested pores look and feel clearer.
Regular gentle exfoliation can help soften the look of mild sun-related surface damage over time.
Removing built-up dead skin cells helps tone look more even and skin appear more radiant right away.
Here’s the honest rundown of a treatment session, how it feels, and what comes after.
A handheld device is moved across the skin, mechanically exfoliating the surface while gentle suction lifts away the exfoliated debris. It’s a purely mechanical process — no serums or products are infused during the pass.
Session length: About 30–45 minutesMost patients describe it as a light, comfortable scratching or gliding sensation with a gentle pulling from the suction — a relaxing, spa-like experience with no anesthesia needed.
Comfort: No anesthesia neededThere’s no real recovery period — skin may look slightly pink immediately afterward, but that typically settles quickly and most patients go right back to their normal routine.
Downtime: None
Microdermabrasion is exfoliation-only — a device mechanically buffs the skin’s surface while suction lifts away debris, with nothing infused. Diamond Glow adds a serum-infusion step on top of that same exfoliation-and-extraction process. We offer both at Laser Aesthetic Spa so you can be matched to whichever fits your skin at a consultation.
A handheld device uses a fine abrasive tip (or crystal stream, depending on the system) to gently buff away the outermost layer of dead skin cells, paired with suction that lifts the exfoliated debris away as it goes.
It’s most often used for dullness, rough texture, clogged pores, mild sun damage, and uneven tone — a broad, gentle resurfacing treatment rather than one aimed at a single condition.
No. There’s no real recovery period — skin may look slightly pink right after treatment, but that typically settles quickly and most patients go right back to their normal routine.
Because there’s no downtime, many patients build it into their regular skincare routine as a maintenance treatment. We’ll talk through a cadence that fits your skin and goals at a consultation.
It’s a great entry-level option for patients new to resurfacing treatments, as well as anyone looking for a lighter, gentler maintenance step between more intensive treatments. We’ll help confirm it’s the right fit for your skin at a consultation.
