What Is Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive resurfacing treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin to promote a healthier, more refined complexion. Using a diamond-tipped applicator and gentle suction, this treatment buffs away dead skin cells while stimulating circulation and encouraging natural collagen renewal. At CaloSpa®, every microdermabrasion treatment is customized for your unique skin type and concerns—whether you want to refresh dull skin, smooth fine lines, or simply maintain a clear, youthful look.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion offers a range of rejuvenating benefits, including:

  • Smoother Texture: Polishes away rough, dry, or uneven skin for a softer feel.
  • Brighter Complexion: Diminishes dullness and evens out tone for renewed radiance.
  • Refined Pores: Clears congestion and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
  • Improved Elasticity: Stimulates collagen for firmer, more resilient skin.
  • Enhanced Skincare Absorption: Helps serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively.
  • Zero Downtime: Gentle and suitable for most skin types with no recovery period.

Who Is a Candidate?

Microdermabrasion is an excellent option for patients who want to refresh their skin without downtime or invasive procedures. You may be a great candidate if you’d like to:

  • Improve mild texture or uneven tone
  • Minimize fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Maintain smooth, healthy skin between other treatments
  • Prep your complexion for a special event or seasonal refresh

Those with active acne, rosacea, or highly sensitive skin may benefit from an alternative exfoliating treatment recommended by our expert providers.

How It Works

During your treatment, a CaloSpa® provider uses a specialized wand that gently exfoliates and vacuums away dead skin cells. This controlled resurfacing process encourages your body’s natural healing response, revealing new, healthy skin while stimulating collagen production.

Microdermabrasion can be performed as a standalone service or paired with other CaloSpa® treatments—such as facials, peels, or laser rejuvenation—for a more comprehensive skin renewal experience.

Recovery & Results

There’s virtually no downtime after microdermabrasion. Most patients experience mild redness that subsides within hours, leaving skin looking fresh and luminous.
You’ll notice smoother, more radiant skin after just one session, with continued improvement after a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve your glow year-round.
