Microdermabrasion Exfoliation in Charlotte, NC

At Ageless Remedies SouthPark Med Spa in Charlotte, we understand how important it is to feel confident in your skin. That’s why we offer microdermabrasion exfoliation.

This non-invasive facial treatment uses DiamondTome® Microdermabrasion technology to gently exfoliate and cleanse. As it works, the DiamondTome® system boosts microcirculation, helping your skin absorb nutrients and hydration while reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines, acne scars, and other imperfections. 

Quick and painless, microdermabrasion leaves your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated after a single session. Plus, since there’s no downtime, you can resume your busy routine immediately after treatment. 

Benefits of Microdermabrasion Treatments

Microdermabrasion treatments offer a gentle yet effective solution for achieving smoother, more vibrant skin in Charlotte. Key advantages include:

Exfoliation

Microdermabrasion treatments gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells, blackheads, and other impurities. This leaves you with a healthy, radiant glow after a single treatment session. 

Collagen Boosting

As an effective skin resurfacing treatment, microdermabrasion triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production. Collagen helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even acne scars, keeping your skin looking firm and youthful. 

Fewer Breakouts

Regular microdermabrasion treatments clear pores and reduce congestion, leaving your skin smoother and less prone to blemishes.

Suitable for All Skin Types

Microdermabrasion is a versatile treatment that works for most skin types. Whether your skin is oily, dry, or sensitive, our aestheticians will customize your treatment to fit your unique needs.

Minimal Downtime

Microdermabrasion requires little to no recovery time. That means you can get back to your normal activities right after treatment.

Microdermabrasion Exfoliation for Specific Concerns

Microdermabrasion can address a variety of skin concerns, including:

Microdermabrasion for acne 

Are frequent acne breakouts affecting your confidence? If so, microdermabrasion can help. By clearing out blocked pores, microdermabrasion reduces the frequency of acne flare-ups while smoothing the appearance of acne scars, giving you clearer, more vibrant skin. 

Microdermabrasion for enlarged pores

Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin, removing debris that can clog pores. Regular treatments also stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin to reduce pore size and create a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Microdermabrasion for fine lines and wrinkles 

As we get older, fine lines and wrinkles become more noticeable, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Microdermabrasion helps reduce these stubborn signs of aging by boosting collagen production and promoting cellular turnover. 

Microdermabrasion for uneven skin tone

Uneven skin tone from sun damage, hormonal changes, or aging can be frustrating. Microdermabrasion helps by speeding up skin renewal, revealing a smoother, more even complexion without the need for harsh treatments.

Microdermabrasion for dull, dry skin

If your skin feels dry, rough, or lacks its usual glow, microdermabrasion can bring back that natural radiance. By removing dead skin cells, this treatment unveils fresher, healthier skin. It also enhances your skin’s ability to absorb moisture, leaving it soft and hydrated.

What to Expect During a Microdermabrasion Treatment

A typical microdermabrasion session at our Charlotte location lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect during your treatment:

Step 1: Consultation

Before we begin, you’ll meet with one of our experienced medical aestheticians. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your skin concerns, goals, and any sensitivities you may have. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, acne, or a dull complexion, we’ll work with you to create a customized skin resurfacing treatment plan. 

Step 2: Preparation

The day of your procedure, we’ll ask you to remove any makeup, sunscreen, or other skincare products. You’ll then recline in a comfortable treatment chair, and we’ll begin the session. 

Step 3: Exfoliation

During the session, your aesthetician will pass the diamond-tipped DiamondTome® Microdermabrasion wand over the treatment area. This specialized tool gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and rejuvenated. 

Unlike microdermabrasion tools made with crystals, the DiamondTome® wand causes no pain or inflammation. You may feel a slight tugging or vibrating sensation, but this is generally well-tolerated.   

Step 4: Hydration

After exfoliating, we’ll apply a hydrating serum. This leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished. 

Step 5: Follow-up treatments

Most patients notice smoother, more radiant skin immediately after their skin resurfacing treatment. However, for long-lasting results, we typically recommend a series of six to eight treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Afterward, maintenance visits every few months will keep your skin looking its best.

Potential side effects

While microdermabrasion is generally safe, some patients experience mild redness or sensitivity, which usually fades within a few hours. 

To minimize discomfort, we recommend:

  • Following all post-treatment instructions from your aesthetician
  • Using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
  • Avoiding harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants or retinoids, for a few days
  • Protecting your skin from sun exposure with broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Staying well-hydrated to support skin recovery

Charlotte Microdermabrasion FAQs

Many clients notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and radiance after just one session.

We recommend a series of six to eight treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Once you've completed your initial series, maintenance sessions every few months will help you maintain your skin’s radiant, healthy appearance. 

Is microdermabrasion safe for all skin types?

Yes, microdermabrasion is generally safe for all skin types. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin, rosacea, or any active skin conditions like eczema or severe acne, it's important to consult with your aesthetician before receiving treatment. 

Are there any side effects?

The most common side effect is mild redness or sensitivity right after the treatment. This is completely normal and usually fades within a few hours.

Additional Services to Consider

Microdermabrasion delivers great results on its own. However, when combined with complementary therapies, it can address even more skin concerns. Here are some top options to consider adding to your treatment plan:

Dermal fillers

Combining dermal fillers with microdermabrasion can be an effective anti-aging strategy. While microdermabrasion exfoliates and refreshes the skin, dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth deep wrinkles, offering a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Chemical peels

If you’re looking for even more powerful results, consider pairing microdermabrasion with a chemical peel. During a chemical peel, a gentle exfoliating solution is applied to the skin. When combined, the two treatments work synergistically to promote smoother, brighter skin.

Cortisone injections

If you struggle with cystic acne or painful breakouts, cortisone injections are an effective solution. After a microdermabrasion treatment, cortisone injections can be used to target inflamed pimples. Together, these treatments can promote smoother, clearer skin.
