Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion exfoliates the outermost skin layer to address texture, tone, clogged pores, and mild surface imperfections.

Microdermabrasion in Cary and the Triangle

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment offered at Central Dermatology Center in Cary. Aesthetic providers tailor the treatment to the skin’s needs under the supervision of board-certified dermatologists. It may be considered when skin looks dull or feels rough from sun exposure, natural aging, or a buildup of surface dead skin cells.

How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. Depending on the treatment approach, the provider uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand. A vacuum-like device clears away the loosened debris as the skin is treated. This process can improve the feel and appearance of skin texture and support a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Professional treatment allows the approach to be matched to the skin and performed in a medical setting. At-home kits are available, but they do not provide the same customized, professional treatment described here.

Is Microdermabrasion a Fit?

Microdermabrasion may be considered for people who want to:

  • Exfoliate and refresh the skin
  • Unclog pores and help manage mild acne
  • Smooth dry or rough patches
  • Soften the appearance of certain surface scars

It is a gentle, non-invasive option with no downtime described in the treatment information. The consultation can determine whether the concern is well suited to surface exfoliation or whether another treatment would better fit the area and goal.

Combining Treatments

For enhanced results, microdermabrasion may be paired with a light chemical peel. Rejuvapen™ microneedling may be considered when a specific concern calls for a different approach, such as acne scars, fine lines, or uneven skin tone. These options can be discussed as part of a treatment plan rather than assuming one exfoliating treatment is right for every concern.
