Microdermabrasion
At SilkySkin Laser Center located in Portland, OR, our Microdermabrasion service offers a transformative solution for healthier, radiant skin. By exfoliating dead cells and purifying pores, this treatment improves texture, reduces imperfections, and promotes a youthful glow.
Elevate Your Skin with Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone by removing dead skin cells. Using a diamond-tipped wand and suction, the procedure effectively unclogs pores, reduces fine lines, and enhances collagen production.
It’s perfect for treating acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles, providing smoother and more youthful-looking skin. This procedure also boosts the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective. Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types and can deliver visible results after just one session, with longer-lasting effects after multiple treatments.

Microdermabrasion treatment Process
The Microdermabrasion treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. Next, we use a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells. This process stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin texture and tone. The wand also features a suction function that removes the exfoliated skin and impurities from the skin’s surface, leaving it fresh and smooth.
The entire treatment typically takes 1 hour. Afterward, we use a mask to cool down the skin, followed by the application of a hydrating moisturizer and SPF to protect and nourish the skin. To maintain the results and further enhance your skin’s radiance, we recommend scheduling follow-up sessions every 4 to 6 weeks. Microdermabrasion is minimally invasive, and while you may experience mild redness or swelling, these side effects usually subside within a few hours. The procedure can be performed on all skin types and areas of the face and body, providing safe, effective results.
Aftercare and Results
After your Microdermabrasion treatment, your skin may feel slightly sensitive, and mild redness or swelling can occur, but these effects typically fade within a few hours. To protect your skin, it’s essential to apply sunscreen regularly, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun for a few days. Additionally, avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, or harsh skincare products for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
To maintain optimal results, it’s recommended to follow up with moisturizing products and gentle skincare routines that enhance hydration and promote healing. Over time, you’ll notice smoother, more even skin, with reduced fine lines, clearer pores, and diminished pigmentation. Many clients see immediate improvements, and with consistent treatments, results can last for several months. Microdermabrasion also works synergistically with other treatments, enhancing their effectiveness. With proper care, your skin will continue to look youthful, radiant, and refreshed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does microdermabrasion treat effectively?
Is microdermabrasion suitable for sensitive skin?
Microdermabrasion is generally safe for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin, but it’s important to consult with your esthetician to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. The treatment involves a controlled exfoliation process, and if you have conditions like rosacea or broken capillaries, it may not be suitable. Always discuss any existing skin conditions with your specialist to assess suitability. During the post-treatment phase, using gentle moisturizers and sunscreen is crucial to soothing the skin and avoiding further irritation. For customized advice, set up a consultation to ensure microdermabrasion aligns with your skincare goals.
How often should you undergo microdermabrasion?
For optimal results, microdermabrasion treatments are typically recommended every 4 to 6 weeks. This frequency allows your skin time to regenerate and maintain improvements in texture and tone. Microdermabrasion promotes skin cell turnover and collagen production, contributing to a youthful glow and enhanced elasticity. Your skincare specialist may suggest a different schedule depending on individual skin conditions and skincare goals.
