What Is Microdermabrasion?
Does your face feel as soft and smooth as you want, or is it rough and lifeless? Dull, uneven skin is often a consequence of dead skin cells and other debris building up on the surface. Microdermabrasion at Avalon Laser is a noninvasive facial treatment that works with your skin's natural renewal process by gently removing the surface layer with a fine spray of skin-safe crystals, clearing the way for a brighter, smoother, healthier complexion to emerge. Because it's gentle and requires little to no downtime, microdermabrasion fits easily into most skin care routines, offering a convenient way to maintain a more youthful, radiant appearance. Discover the benefits of microdermabrasion and learn how it can fit into your facial rejuvenation plan by scheduling a consultation with our med spa providers in San Diego, Carlsbad, or Encinitas, CA today.
How Is Microdermabrasion Performed?
We'll start your microdermabrasion treatment after an evaluation of your skin and a discussion about the concerns you'd like to address. Before beginning, one of our providers will gently cleanse your skin and apply eye protection. Once you're ready, they'll use a handheld microdermabrasion device to direct a controlled stream of fine micro-crystals across the treatment area, exfoliating the outer layer while vacuuming away dead skin cells. We'll finish your treatment by brushing away any leftover surface debris before applying a moisturizing serum to the skin.
What Are The Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Surface buildup can affect more than just your skin's texture. Skin care products may not absorb as well, makeup may not apply as smoothly, and your complexion may lose some of its natural, healthy glow. Whether performed on its own or as part of a larger facial rejuvenation plan, microdermabrasion offers a number of benefits for your skin's health and appearance, including:
- Removing the buildup of dead skin cells
- Smoothing rough skin texture
- Brightening a dull complexion
- Softening the appearance of mild surface imperfections, such as acne scars or stretch marks
- Creating a cleaner slate for makeup and skin care products
- Refreshing the overall appearance of your skin

Frequently Asked Questions about Microdermabrasion
What is microdermabrasion and what does it do for my skin?
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. By clearing away this outer layer, it reveals fresher skin beneath while helping improve texture, brighten your complexion, and create a smoother surface for makeup application and skin care products.
Who is a good candidate for microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a good option for people who want to improve dullness, mild uneven texture, clogged pores, or the overall appearance of their skin without significant downtime. It's also safe for most skin types, making it an effective option for a large variety of clients. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin and determine whether microdermabrasion or another facial aesthetic treatment is better suited to your concerns.
What does a microdermabrasion treatment feel like?
Most people describe the treatment as a gentle scratching or lightly gritty sensation combined with mild suction from the handheld device. The procedure is generally quick and comfortable, requiring no anesthesia.
Is there downtime after microdermabrasion?
Most people return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink or feel more sensitive for a short time, but these effects typically don't last long. We'll also recommend sunscreen and gentle skin care to help protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
How often should I get microdermabrasion?
The ideal treatment schedule depends on your skin type, goals, and overall skin care plan. Many people benefit from treatments every 4 – 6 weeks to help maintain smoother, brighter skin, although we'll recommend a schedule that's appropriate for your individual needs.
Support Your Skin's Natural Renewal
Your skin naturally sheds dead cells and renews itself, but over time, this process can slow down, leaving your complexion looking dull or uneven. If your complexion has started to dull, microdermabrasion at Avalon Laser may be the solution you need to look brighter, smoother, and more refreshed.
