What is Microdermabrasion?

Provided by the estheticians at Dr. Buffalo, microdermabrasion facials are a non-invasive skin-resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates the top layer of the skin using a special device. This cosmetic treatment is designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity by removing dead skin cells, stimulating circulation, and encouraging cell turnover.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Microdermabrasion?

Most healthy adults with concerns like uneven skin tone, dullness, rough texture, or mild blemishes are excellent candidates for microdermabrasion. It’s safe for a wide range of skin types and tones, especially those looking for gentle exfoliation without the downtime of more intensive treatments. If you’re pregnant, dealing with active acne breakouts, rosacea, or extremely sensitive skin, our estheticians here at Dr. Buffalo MedSpa & Surgery will guide you toward a better-fit solution. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin’s unique needs to make sure microdermabrasion is both safe and effective for you.

What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is more than just a facial; it’s a strategic resurfacing treatment with noticeable results. Gently exfoliating the top layer of the skin helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, mild acne scarring, age spots, and rough patches. You’ll walk away with skin that feels softer, looks brighter, and absorbs your skincare products more effectively. Over time, regular treatments can help improve elasticity, stimulate collagen production, and refine skin tone and texture, especially in areas affected by sun damage or early signs of aging.

What’s the First Step?

What to Expect on the Day of Microdermabrasion Treatment

When you arrive at Dr. Buffalo MedSpa & Surgery, you can expect a calm, welcoming environment where your comfort comes first. After a brief discussion about your skin and goals, your esthetician will cleanse your face and begin the microdermabrasion process using a specialized handheld device that gently buffs and vacuums away dead skin cells. Most patients describe the sensation as a light scratching or suction, not painful, just different. The session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, and there’s no need for numbing or recovery time. You’ll leave the office with skin that feels refreshed, smooth, and clean; no redness, no drama, just results.

Microdermabrasion Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Microdermabrasion Care

One of the best parts about microdermabrasion? There’s virtually no downtime. You might notice a slight pinkness or sensitivity in the hours immediately following your appointment, but this fades quickly, often within the same day. Most patients are able to return to work or social activities right away.

To protect your newly exfoliated skin, your esthetician will recommend using gentle, hydrating products and a broad-spectrum SPF. Avoid direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, or retinoids for a few days. With the right post-treatment care, your glow can last for days, and with regular sessions, the benefits build over time.
