When it comes to achieving smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, few treatments rival the power of microdermabrasion. This gentle, non-invasive facial has become a go-to choice for anyone seeking a refreshed complexion without downtime or harsh side effects.
At Skin 22 Concierge Skin in Beverly Hills, we specialize in advanced skincare treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. Our microdermabrasion facials are performed using medical-grade technology to deliver safe, effective, and instantly visible results.
In this guide, we’ll explore what microdermabrasion is, how it works, its benefits, and what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
A microdermabrasion facial is a professional exfoliation treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the face using a specialized device. This process helps smooth rough texture, fade dark spots, and encourage the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
The treatment works by gently sanding away dead skin using either crystals (crystal microdermabrasion) or a diamond-tipped wand (diamond microdermabrasion). At Skin 22, we use the diamond-tipped method for greater precision and comfort.
By removing the dull surface layer, microdermabrasion stimulates collagen production, enhances product absorption, and improves the overall texture and tone of your skin—leaving you glowing and refreshed.
Your skin naturally renews itself every few weeks, but dead cells can accumulate on the surface, causing roughness, uneven tone, and clogged pores. Microdermabrasion speeds up this renewal process by gently exfoliating and vacuuming away impurities.
Here’s how the process works at Skin 22:
Cleansing:
Your face is thoroughly cleansed to remove oil, makeup, and impurities.
Exfoliation:
The esthetician uses a diamond-tipped device that glides across your skin, removing dead cells and debris through light suction.
Hydration & Soothing:
After exfoliation, your skin is treated with hydrating serums, calming masks, or oxygen infusions to nourish and protect the newly revealed layer.
The entire session typically lasts 30–45 minutes, and there’s no downtime—you can resume normal activities right after your appointment.
Microdermabrasion is more than just a deep exfoliation—it’s a complete skin rejuvenation treatment. Here are the key benefits you can expect:
Smoother Skin Texture
Microdermabrasion buffs away roughness, revealing silky, soft skin instantly.
Brighter, More Even Tone
It helps fade dullness, sun damage, and pigmentation for a more radiant look.
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, it minimizes early signs of aging.
Fewer Breakouts and Clearer Pores
The suction helps unclog pores and remove excess oil, reducing the risk of breakouts.
Improved Absorption of Skincare Products
After the treatment, your serums and moisturizers penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
Quick Results, No Downtime
Unlike stronger chemical peels or lasers, microdermabrasion requires no recovery time.
Safe for Most Skin Types
It’s suitable for most people, including those with sensitive skin, when performed by a professional.
Microdermabrasion addresses a wide range of common skin issues, including:
Dull, tired-looking skin
Uneven texture or tone
Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Congested pores and blackheads
Mild acne scarring
Rough or dry patches
It’s also a great maintenance facial for people who simply want to refresh their skin and enhance their natural glow.
When you visit Skin 22 in Beverly Hills, your microdermabrasion facial begins with a personalized consultation. Our skincare professionals assess your skin type and recommend the most effective treatment plan for your needs.
Step-by-step experience:
Cleansing:
We start by removing impurities and prepping your skin.
Exfoliation with Diamond-Tip Wand:
Your esthetician glides the device over your skin, gently removing dead cells while the built-in suction clears them away.
Hydration & Mask:
Post-exfoliation, your skin is treated with a cooling, hydrating mask and soothing serums to calm and replenish moisture.
Protection:
The treatment ends with a lightweight moisturizer and SPF application to protect your fresh, renewed skin.
You’ll immediately notice that your skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and has a fresh, youthful glow.
For optimal results, we recommend a microdermabrasion facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This frequency aligns with your skin’s natural renewal cycle, ensuring consistent exfoliation and long-term improvement.
For those targeting specific skin concerns—such as acne scars or hyperpigmentation—a series of 4–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended, followed by maintenance treatments.
At Skin 22, we customize each client’s treatment plan to achieve the best possible results safely and effectively.
Yes. Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal risk when performed by a licensed professional. At Skin 22, all treatments are carried out using medical-grade equipment and sterile techniques.
You may experience mild redness or tightness right after the session, similar to a light sunburn, but this subsides within a few hours. There’s no peeling or downtime—making it ideal for busy professionals or those preparing for special events.
However, microdermabrasion may not be suitable for individuals with:
Active acne or infections
Rosacea or very sensitive skin
Open wounds or cuts
During your consultation, our team will assess your skin and determine whether microdermabrasion is the right fit or if another facial would be more beneficial.
To maximize and maintain your results, follow these simple aftercare steps:
Use Sunscreen Daily: Protect your skin with SPF 30+ to prevent sun sensitivity.
Avoid Exfoliating Products: Skip scrubs, retinol, or acids for 48 hours post-treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Apply a rich moisturizer to keep your skin soft and supple.
Don’t Touch or Pick at Your Skin: Avoid introducing bacteria to freshly exfoliated skin.
Use Gentle Cleansers: Choose soothing, non-foaming cleansers for a few days.
With proper aftercare, your results can last for several weeks—and your skin will continue to look smoother and healthier with each session.
Many clients wonder how microdermabrasion differs from dermaplaning, as both offer exfoliating benefits. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Microdermabrasion | Dermaplaning |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Uses suction and a diamond-tip wand to exfoliate | Uses a surgical blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz |
| Hair Removal | No | Yes |
| Downtime | None | None |
| Ideal For | Uneven texture, dullness, clogged pores | Fine hair, dullness, uneven tone |
| Result | Smoother, refined skin | Silky, hair-free, and glowing skin |
Both treatments deliver noticeable results and can even be alternated in a customized skincare plan.
