How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion uses a powerful device to spray microcrystals of aluminum dioxide (corundum powder) across the skin’s surface. The aluminum dioxide is a very fine, very hard, sand-like material that blasts away the uppermost layer of dead skin cells on the skin’s epidermis. Microdermabrasion can be uncomfortable around the sensitive tissue of the mouth and nose, but should not be painful.

Does it hurt?

The treatment is relatively pain free, and feels like a mild scrubbing action on the surface of your skin.

What to Expect from Microdermabrasion in Fairfax

Your visit starts with a quick look at your skin and your goals. Then, the treatment itself takes about 30 minutes. There is no downtime, so you can go straight back to your day. Right away, your skin looks brighter and feels smoother. For the best results, many clients book a series of sessions. We will suggest a plan that fits your skin at your consultation.

Pair It With Other Skin Treatments

Microdermabrasion works well on its own. However, it also pairs nicely with our other treatments. For example, you can add it to one of our custom facials, or combine it with a gentle Environ Cool Peel. If you want deep hydration, a HydraFacial is another great option.
