Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand to physically exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, while simultaneously applying suction that removes the abraded dead skin cells and stimulates increased circulation in the treated tissue. The mechanical action removes the layer of dead, dull skin that accumulates at the surface, revealing the fresher, brighter skin beneath while the suction stimulates collagen production through gentle vacuum-induced mechanical stress.

At Superior Health Medical and Wellness, microdermabrasion is performed using professional-grade diamond-tip devices that provide precise control over abrasion intensity and suction pressure. The treatment is adjusted based on your skin type, the areas being treated, and your specific concerns. Microdermabrasion is one of the few skin treatments with immediate visible results and no downtime, making it an excellent maintenance option and a valuable preparation treatment before other procedures.

Microdermabrasion Services What We Provide

From single-session skin brightening to targeted acne treatment and combination protocols with peels and serums, Superior Health provides medical-grade microdermabrasion for every skin concern. Explore the services below.

Full-face microdermabrasion addresses the entire facial surface, removing the dull outer skin layer and revealing brighter, more even-toned skin beneath. The treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes and produces immediately visible improvement in skin radiance and smoothness. It is one of the most effective treatments available for achieving immediate results with no social downtime.
Focused microdermabrasion passes over enlarged pores, particularly in the nose and central face zone, remove the keratin plugs and dead cell accumulation that make pores appear larger. The suction component pulls debris from pore openings and stimulates the pore walls, producing a visible reduction in pore appearance. This is one of the fastest ways to improve pore appearance without chemical treatments.
Regular microdermabrasion is an effective component of acne management for patients with comedonal and mild inflammatory acne. By removing the dead cell layer that contributes to pore clogging and allowing other acne treatments to penetrate more effectively, microdermabrasion reduces the frequency of breakouts and improves the overall skin environment. It also helps fade the post-inflammatory marks that linger after breakouts resolve.
Microdermabrasion accelerates the removal of superficial pigmented cells, progressively lightening sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation over a series of treatments. Combined with a brightening serum applied immediately after treatment while absorption is enhanced, microdermabrasion can produce meaningful improvement in pigmentation concerns that are superficially located in the epidermis.
Microdermabrasion is effective on body skin for treating back acne, keratosis pilaris, body hyperpigmentation, and general body skin texture. The back, upper arms, and chest are common treatment areas that respond well to regular microdermabrasion. Body skin is typically thicker and tolerates more aggressive settings than facial skin, allowing for more intensive exfoliation.
Immediately after microdermabrasion, the freshly exfoliated skin absorbs topical products at significantly higher rates than intact skin. Dr. Akers takes advantage of this enhanced absorption window by applying targeted serums containing brightening agents, peptides, or hyaluronic acid immediately after treatment, dramatically increasing their penetration and efficacy compared to application on non-treated skin.

01 It Is One of the Only Treatments That Works Immediately

Most skin treatments require days to weeks before results appear as the body's healing response produces change. Microdermabrasion produces visible improvement immediately by removing the dull surface layer right away. Patients see brighter, smoother skin before they leave the treatment room. This immediate result makes it uniquely valuable for patients preparing for an event or who want to see what refreshed skin looks like before committing to more intensive treatments.

02 It Enhances Every Other Treatment It Is Combined With

Removing the outer skin barrier dramatically increases the penetration of products and treatments applied after microdermabrasion. Chemical peels penetrate more evenly. Serums absorb more deeply. Microneedling micro-channels are more effective in exfoliated skin. Microdermabrasion used as a preparation treatment before other procedures maximizes their efficacy and is a valuable addition to any comprehensive skin treatment plan.

03 Regular Maintenance Produces Cumulative Improvement

While a single microdermabrasion treatment produces immediate brightening, regular monthly treatments produce cumulative improvement in skin texture, pore size, and pigmentation over time. Each treatment removes the new outer layer that has formed since the previous treatment, maintaining the skin in a consistently cleaner, more refined state and gradually improving concerns that cannot be addressed in a single session.

The Treatment Diamond-Tip Exfoliation
and How It Works

Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses a wand with a diamond-encrusted tip that is moved across the skin surface in precise patterns. The abrasive tip physically disrupts and removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of dead skin cells, while simultaneously applying gentle suction that removes the abraded material and draws blood to the superficial skin layers, stimulating circulation and mild mechanical stress that encourages collagen production.

The operator controls the abrasion intensity through tip selection (coarser or finer diamond grit), suction pressure, and the number of passes made over each treatment area. Sensitive areas such as the periocular region receive lighter treatment than the forehead or cheeks. Areas of concern such as enlarged pores or hyperpigmentation receive additional focused passes to address the specific issue.

The suction component of microdermabrasion contributes more than just removal of abraded cells. The vacuum pressure creates a mechanical stretching effect in the superficial skin layers that stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen production, similar in principle to the mechanism behind vacuum massage and other mechanical skin stimulation techniques. Over a series of treatments, this collagen stimulation contributes to improved skin firmness and reduced fine lines.

After Treatment The Microdermabrasion
Experience and Recovery

Microdermabrasion appointments typically take 30 to 45 minutes for a full face treatment. The sensation during treatment is a mild scratching with suction, which most patients find comfortable and some find quite relaxing. There is no pain involved. Your skin will be slightly pink immediately after treatment, similar to mild exertion redness, which resolves within one to two hours for most patients.

There is no required downtime after microdermabrasion. Most patients apply a light moisturizer and SPF immediately after treatment and return to their normal activities. Makeup can be applied the same day once the immediate post-treatment redness has settled. Sun exposure should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment, as the freshly exfoliated skin is temporarily more sensitive to UV.

Frequently Asked Questions Your Questions,

No. Microdermabrasion is a medical-grade resurfacing treatment that mechanically removes the stratum corneum using a diamond-tipped device. A standard facial involves cleansing, steaming, and topical product application without any mechanical exfoliation of the skin surface. Microdermabrasion produces measurable skin surface change that a standard facial does not.
A single session produces immediate brightening and smoothing that many patients find satisfying as a standalone result. For cumulative improvement in texture, pore size, and pigmentation, a series of four to six monthly treatments is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every four to six weeks. Dr. Akers will discuss realistic expectations and a treatment plan based on your specific concerns at your consultation.
Yes, and the combination is particularly effective. Microdermabrasion removes the outer skin barrier that would otherwise limit peel penetration, allowing a subsequent chemical peel to penetrate more evenly and deeply. Dr. Akers performs combined microdermabrasion and peel treatments for patients who want to maximize resurfacing results in a single appointment. The combination requires appropriate patient selection and careful technique.
Microdermabrasion can be performed on sensitive skin with adjustments to the abrasion intensity and suction pressure. Dr. Akers uses lighter settings on sensitive skin types and avoids the most reactive areas. Patients with rosacea, active inflammatory acne, or compromised skin barrier function may not be appropriate candidates for microdermabrasion, and Dr. Akers will assess your specific skin condition before recommending treatment.
Microdermabrasion can improve the appearance of shallow, superficial acne scarring over a series of treatments by progressively removing the textural surface changes and stimulating collagen production through the suction component. For deeper, more significant acne scarring, microdeedling or combination treatments typically produce more meaningful improvement. Dr. Akers will assess your scarring and recommend the treatment approach best suited to its depth and type.
