After a Texas summer, skin can look dull, uneven or rough. Sun, heat and sweat all take a toll. Microdermabrasion in Colleyville is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that can help refresh the surface of your skin, and fall is a great time to start.
At Advanced Eyelid Surgery Center, microdermabrasion is one of our most approachable skin treatments, especially for people new to aesthetic care.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation treatment. A specialized device gently buffs away the outermost layer of dead skin cells while light suction lifts away debris. The result is skin that often looks smoother and brighter.
Because it works on the surface, there is usually little to no downtime.
What Microdermabrasion in Colleyville Can Help With
Microdermabrasion may improve the look of:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Rough texture
- Mild uneven tone and sun spots
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Fine lines
It is not designed for deep wrinkles, deep acne scars or significant sagging. For those concerns, other treatments may be a better fit.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Cleansing. Your skin is cleansed to remove oil and makeup.
- Treatment. The device is passed over the skin in gentle strokes. Most people describe it as a light scratching or vibrating feeling.
- Soothing. Moisturizer and sunscreen are applied afterward.
Sessions are typically quick. Your skin may look a little pink for a few hours, and most people go right back to their day.
How Many Sessions?
Some people enjoy a glow after one visit. For texture and tone concerns, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended. Results vary by skin type and goals.
Pairing Microdermabrasion with Other Treatments
Microdermabrasion can be part of a larger plan. Some patients alternate it with a chemical peel for deeper exfoliation. Using medical-grade skin care products at home can help you maintain results. Explore our full list of skin rejuvenation treatments.
Who Should Wait?
You may need to postpone treatment if you have active acne flares, rosacea flares, open wounds, sunburn or certain skin conditions. Let us know if you use prescription retinoids or have recently had other skin procedures.
Why Fall Is a Good Time to Start
Cooler months mean less intense sun exposure, which makes it easier to protect freshly exfoliated skin. Starting a series in the fall also means your skin can look its brightest by the holidays. Between visits, stick with a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer suited to your skin type and a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. Avoid harsh scrubs at home, since your treatments already handle exfoliation. If you are unsure where to begin, a consultation can help you decide whether microdermabrasion, a peel or another option best matches your goals.
Microdermabrasion FAQ
Does microdermabrasion hurt? Most people find it comfortable. It feels like a gentle buffing.
Is there downtime? Usually very little. Mild redness may last a few hours.
Do I need sunscreen afterward? Yes. Freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to the sun, so daily sunscreen is important.
