What Is Microdermabrasion? Benefits, Cost & What to Expect at Treuvis Med Spa

Microdermabrasion is a professional, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a diamond-tip wand and gentle suction to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin - revealing smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin with zero downtime. At Treuvis Med Spa in Clinton Township, MI, microdermabrasion is available as a standalone treatment ($85) or as a $40 add-on to any facial or injectable appointment. Results are visible immediately after one session. Call or text 586-300-4004 to book.

If you've been searching for a skin treatment that delivers real, visible results without chemicals, needles, or downtime - microdermabrasion might be exactly what you're looking for.

It's one of the most consistently popular professional skin treatments for a reason: it works, it's comfortable, and you can see the difference immediately after a single session. At Treuvis Med Spa in Clinton Township, MI, we offer professional microdermabrasion as both a standalone treatment and as an add-on to facials, HydraFacial MD®, and injectable appointments.

Here's everything you need to know before you book.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a professional mechanical exfoliation treatment that uses a diamond-tip wand to gently buff away the outermost layer of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. As the wand moves across the skin, it simultaneously applies gentle suction that removes the loosened cells and stimulates circulation in the deeper layers below.

The result: skin that is noticeably smoother, brighter, and more even in tone - immediately after your appointment.

Unlike chemical exfoliation (acids, peels) or physical scrubs you use at home, professional microdermabrasion is precisely controlled, consistently applied, and performed by a trained esthetician who adjusts the pressure and technique to your skin type and concerns. The treatment is completely non-invasive, requires no numbing, and is safe for most skin types.

Individual results may vary.

What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion may help improve the appearance of:

• Dull or uneven skin tone

• Rough or uneven skin texture

• Enlarged or congested pores

• Fine lines and early surface wrinkles

• Mild sun damage and hyperpigmentation

• Mild, surface-level acne scarring

• Dry or flaky skin

• Blackheads and pore buildup

Beyond the visible improvements, there are practical benefits that keep clients coming back:

• Immediate results - Most clients notice visible improvement after a single session

• Zero downtime - Return to normal activities right away; mild pinkness resolves within hours

• No chemicals or heat - A fully mechanical process with no acids or lasers involved

• Better product absorption - Removing the layer of dead skin allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively

• Safe for most skin types - Including sensitive skin, when performed by a trained professional

• Pairs well with other treatments - Enhances the results of facials, peels, and injectables

• Cumulative results - A series of treatments produces progressively more significant improvement over time

Individual results may vary.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion works well for most adults who want a non-invasive way to improve skin texture and tone. You may be a great candidate if you:

• Want smoother, brighter skin with no recovery period

• Have dull, rough, or congested skin that hasn't responded fully to at-home products

• Are dealing with mild sun damage or uneven tone

• Want to prepare your skin before a special event

• Are looking for a complement to your existing facial or injectable routine

• Are new to professional skin treatments and want to start with something gentle

Microdermabrasion is not recommended for clients with active acne breakouts, open skin lesions, rosacea flare-ups, or highly reactive/inflamed skin. If you have any concerns, your Treuvis esthetician will assess your skin before your appointment and recommend the right treatment.

What to Expect at Your Microdermabrasion Appointment at Treuvis

Before Your Appointment:

Arrive with clean skin, ideally without makeup. Avoid retinol and exfoliating products for 48 hours beforehand. Let your esthetician know about any recent sun exposure, active breakouts, or skin sensitivities.

During Your Appointment:

Your esthetician cleanses and preps your skin, then moves the diamond-tip wand across the face in controlled strokes — adjusting pressure based on your skin type and the areas being treated. The sensation is mild: most clients describe it as gentle suction with a light scratching feeling. No numbing is required. A full treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

After Your Appointment:

Skin will appear noticeably brighter and feel smoother immediately. Mild pinkness or sensitivity is normal and resolves within a few hours. Apply SPF and avoid direct sun for 24–48 hours. Skip retinol, acids, and exfoliating products for 48–72 hours. Makeup can typically be applied the same day.

How Much Does Microdermabrasion Cost at Treuvis?

Microdermabrasion at Treuvis Med Spa in Clinton Township is priced to be accessible:

• Standalone treatment: $85 (includes cleansing and SPF)

• Add-on service: $40 when paired with a facial, HydraFacial MD®, or injectable appointment

The $40 add-on is one of the best-value upgrades at Treuvis - meaningful results added to an appointment you're already booking, for a fraction of the standalone price.

Call or text 586-300-4004 to confirm current pricing and availability.

How Often Should You Get Microdermabrasion?

• Single session - Immediate improvement in texture and brightness; great for a pre-event refresh or first-time treatment

• Series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart - Recommended for more significant improvement in texture, tone, sun damage, or mild scarring

• Monthly maintenance every 4–6 weeks - Sustains results and keeps skin consistently smooth and clear

Many clients incorporate microdermabrasion into their regular routine at Treuvis - either as a monthly standalone or as a recurring add-on to their spa facial or HydraFacial MD® appointments.

Microdermabrasion vs. Chemical Peel - What's the Difference?

Both microdermabrasion and chemical peels exfoliate the skin — but they work differently and are right for different situations.

Microdermabrasion Before Injectables - Why It Makes a Difference

Done 2–5 days before a Botox, Daxxify, or filler appointment, microdermabrasion creates a smoother, brighter canvas that enhances injectable results. The two treatments work on different layers:

• Microdermabrasion addresses surface texture, tone, and the outermost skin layer

• Injectables address muscle movement, deeper lines, and volume

Important: microdermabrasion should always be done before injectables - not after - to avoid any disruption to the treatment area. Ask your Treuvis provider about timing when you book your next injectable appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions — Microdermabrasion in Clinton Township

What is microdermabrasion and how does it work?

Microdermabrasion is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that uses a diamond-tip wand to physically buff away dead skin cells, with gentle suction removing the loosened cells and stimulating circulation. The result is smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin with zero downtime. Available at Treuvis Med Spa in Clinton Township, MI - $85 standalone or $40 as an add-on.

Is microdermabrasion worth it?

Yes - results are immediate and noticeable after a single session. Skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and absorbs skincare products more effectively. As a $40 add-on to an existing appointment, it is one of the best-value upgrades available at Treuvis.

How many microdermabrasion sessions do I need?

One session produces visible improvement. For more significant results with texture, sun damage, or mild scarring, a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended. Monthly maintenance sustains results over time. Your Treuvis esthetician will recommend a schedule based on your skin goals.

Does microdermabrasion help with acne scars?

Microdermabrasion may help improve the appearance of mild, shallow, surface-level acne scars over multiple sessions. For deeper scarring, RF microneedling may produce more significant results. Your esthetician will assess your scarring and recommend the right treatment path.

Is microdermabrasion safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Microdermabrasion can be adapted for sensitive skin by adjusting pressure and technique - no acids, no heat, no chemicals involved. Always let your esthetician know if you have sensitive or reactive skin before your appointment.

What's the difference between microdermabrasion and dermaplaning?

Both exfoliate the skin, but dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade and also removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), while microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tip wand and suction. Both produce immediately smoother, brighter skin and can be combined for enhanced results.
