About this treatment
Microdermabrasion is a professional mechanical exfoliation treatment designed to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells using fine crystals or a diamond-tip wand. By refining the skin’s surface, it helps reveal a smoother, brighter, and more even-looking complexion without the need for anesthesia or significant recovery time.
During your treatment, your provider will cleanse the skin and gently pass the microdermabrasion device over targeted areas. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild scratching or polishing feeling with light suction. The treatment is typically comfortable, efficient, and well suited for routine skin maintenance.
Microdermabrasion can help improve the appearance of dullness, rough texture, clogged pores, mild discoloration, fine lines, and shallow acne scarring. While results may be visible after one session, a series of treatments is often recommended for more noticeable and lasting improvement.
At Liv Med Spa in Denver, CO, each microdermabrasion service is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals. Your provider will also recommend appropriate skincare and sun protection to help maintain your refreshed, radiant results.
