Looking for smoother, brighter skin without a lot of downtime? Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dull surface skin cells to reveal a softer, more refreshed complexion.
At Barris Laser & Skincare in Boulder, we use a diamond-tip microdermabrasion device to exfoliate the skin, followed by hydrating and nourishing serums to leave your complexion feeling smooth and revitalized.
Whether you’re dealing with rough texture, dullness, or mild congestion, microdermabrasion is a great way to give your skin a fresh start. Treatments typically take about 45 minutes.
Microdermabrasion gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin using a specialized exfoliating device.
At Barris, we use diamond-tip microdermabrasion, which combines gentle exfoliation with suction to remove surface buildup. Afterward, we apply hydrating and nourishing serums to help leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Microdermabrasion can help improve the appearance of several common skin concerns, including:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Mild fine lines
- Congested or enlarged-looking pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Some superficial signs of sun damage
It’s a great option for refreshing your complexion, although deeper wrinkles, significant scarring, and more pronounced pigmentation concerns may benefit from other treatments.
Microdermabrasion may be appropriate for many skin types, particularly for clients looking to improve dullness, rough texture, or mild congestion.
However, certain skin conditions—including active infections, irritated or inflamed skin, and some forms of acne—may make treatment unsuitable. Recent use of certain medications or exfoliating products can also affect your skin’s sensitivity.
Our estheticians will evaluate your skin and help determine whether microdermabrasion is right for you.
Microdermabrasion is generally comfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle scratching or buffing feeling, combined with light suction.
Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but your provider can adjust the treatment to help keep you comfortable.
Microdermabrasion typically requires little to no downtime, and most clients can return to their usual activities afterward.
You may experience temporary pinkness, mild redness, dryness, or sensitivity for a day or two. Because freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to sunlight, moisturizing and daily sun protection are especially important.
We’ll provide aftercare instructions based on your skin and treatment.
The ideal schedule depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
Some clients enjoy an occasional microdermabrasion treatment for a refreshed appearance, while others benefit from a series of treatments to address ongoing texture or tone concerns.
Our estheticians can recommend an appropriate schedule based on how your skin responds.
Both treatments exfoliate the skin, but they work differently.
- Microdermabrasion uses a specialized device to physically remove dull surface skin cells, helping improve texture and brightness.
- Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating solutions to address concerns such as uneven tone, dullness, and certain types of congestion.
At Barris, we also offer a Microdermabrasion and Peel combination treatment for appropriate candidates. Because combining exfoliation methods can increase irritation, our estheticians will determine whether this approach is suitable for your skin.
