What your microdermabrasion facial includes
The session opens with cleansing and a look at the skin under magnification, so the pass can be set to what your skin will take that day. Resurfacing is then worked in sections across the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.
Most clients describe the sensation as a firm, dry buffing with a light pull behind it. It is not painful, though the nose and the sides of the chin tend to be more sensitive than the rest of the face.
Extractions are done once the surface has been softened, which is when pores release most easily. The massage is kept for the end rather than the beginning, so your face is not being worked on while the masque is meant to be settling.
You leave with moisturizer and sunscreen already applied. Skin usually looks brighter the same day and slightly flushed for an hour or so.
Who books the microdermabrasion facial
It suits skin that has gone flat: rough texture across the cheeks, congestion around the nose, uneven tone after a long summer outdoors, or fine surface lines that catch makeup. Many clients schedule it two to three weeks before a wedding or an event, which leaves time for everything to settle.
It is not the right choice during an active inflamed breakout or a rosacea flare, on sunburned skin, or within about a week of waxing or a course of strong retinoids. Tell us what you are using at home when you book, and we will either adjust the approach or move the appointment.
Aftercare and how often to come back
Freshly resurfaced skin is briefly more exposed, so daily SPF matters more than usual for the following two weeks. Sensitivity to daylight lasts longer than sensitivity to touch, which is why the sunscreen window is measured in weeks and the makeup window in hours. Many clients keep to a monthly rhythm through the colder months and space it out when the sun is stronger. Results vary from person to person.
FAQ- Questions clients ask
How is this different from booking the resurfacing on its own?
This is the full 75-minute appointment, with extractions, a masque and massage built around the resurfacing. If you want the resurfacing alone, or want to read about the technology behind this treatment, that sits on its own page.
When can I put makeup back on?
The following morning is a good rule. The sunscreen you leave in is applied for you at the end of the session, on skin that has just been prepared for it; foundation is a different matter, because it goes on with fingers or a sponge and sits on the surface all day. Give the skin one night first.
