Microdermabrasion
Relaxation Facial
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. During a microdermabrasion, micro-fine crystals are shot from a small tube onto your skin and simultaneously vacuumed back up. Think of this as working like a high-powered scrub. This type of skin rejuvenation has been proven safe and effective to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve and minimize the appearance of sun damage, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and other skin-related concerns on the face and body.

Dermaplane
Relaxation Facial
Microdermabrasion
Dermaplaning is a gentle and effective form of exfoliation that results in a brighter complexion and silky smooth skin. A scalpel is used to safely remove the top layer of built up dead skin cells and peach fuzz hair, all which can contribute to making your skin look dull or uneven. It is often used as a preparation step before other treatments as it aids in enhancing the absorption of skincare products. This increased absorption can maximize the effectiveness of these products, allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin and provide optimal results.

Before + After Care
Microdermabrasion, Dermaplane, & Custom Facial:
- Wait at least 6 months post Accutane/isotretinoin use, as it may compromise the skin’s protective barrier.
- Discontinue use of aggressive exfoliants, Retinol/Tretinoin, AHA/BHA products, or any other exfoliating products 1-3 days prior to treatment.
- Avoid blood thinners 5 days before your treatment, such as aspirin, Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen), fish oil, and vitamin E. If you have prescription blood thinners, consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing.
- If the treatment area has compromised skin (severe/inflamed acne, dermatitis, sunburn, open wounds) or you are experiencing an active skin infection (cold sores), the procedure should be postponed until the condition is resolved.
- Wait at least 5 days post neurotoxin or filler to have microdermabrasion or 10 days for lymphatic drainage or microcurrent on the face. Injections may be done immediately after.
All Other Facials:
- All other facials are safe for all skin types and concerns, however, please notify us if you a have history of cancer, blood clots, bacterial/viral/fungus infection, heart, kidney, or liver failure, are pregnant or nursing, have a pacemaker, internal defibrillator, or a history of seizures as these will limit certain tools and products we are able to use.
Microdermabrasion, Dermaplane, & Custom Facial:
- Some patients may experience a mild redness immediately following their facial service. This is temporary and generally resolves within a few minutes or up to several hours.
- You may apply makeup immediately after as long as skin integrity has not been compromised. If peel was performed, please wear mineral makeup only.
- Avoid aggressive exfoliants, Retinol/Tretinoin, AHA/BHA products, or any other exfoliating products for 1-3 days post treatment.
- Your skin may feel slightly more sensitive to your skin care products, as the superficial layer of dead skin has just been removed through exfoliation. This is usually very tolerable and requires no special care. However, if a product feels too sensitive, discontinue use for a few days.
- If you can, limit sun exposure for at least 48 hours after your facial to preserve the treatment. If sun exposure cannot be avoided, please apply an SPF 30 or higher.
