Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin exfoliation treatment that rejuvenates the skin by targeting sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and minor scars. At Inner Beauty & Skin in Clovis, CA, this minimally invasive procedure promotes circulation, stimulates lymph flow, and enhances skin clarity. It’s a quick in-office treatment with no downtime, making it ideal for patients seeking immediate, noticeable results. Microdermabrasion can be performed alone or paired with chemical peels or laser treatments for enhanced effects.
Using a handheld device, a trained provider delivers microcrystals (typically aluminum oxide) across the skin’s surface. These crystals exfoliate dead skin cells, which are then suctioned away, revealing smoother, fresher skin beneath. The procedure typically lasts 5 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. To achieve long-lasting results, treatments are recommended every 2 to 4 weeks as part of a skin maintenance routine.
Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. While serious risks are rare, mild redness or sensitivity may occur. Patients older than 70 may have a slightly higher chance of bruising. Aftercare tips include:
