Microdermabrasion in Wesley Chapel, FL
Microdermabrasion is a gentle procedure that exfoliates and removes the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells to reveal softer, smoother, more vibrant skin. At Qvita Health and Wellness, our team buffs and polishes the skin using a stream of fine crystals for an instant refresh with no downtime.
How Does Microdermabrasion Work?
During treatment, a specialized handpiece delivers fine crystals across the skin’s surface while gentle suction lifts away dead cells and debris. This controlled exfoliation encourages cell turnover and stimulates collagen production, helping skin look brighter and feel smoother. Treatment is comfortable, often described as a light scratching or massaging sensation, and takes about 30 minutes.
Who Benefits From Microdermabrasion?
Clients with the following concerns may benefit most from a series of microdermabrasion treatments:
- Fine lines and crow’s feet
- Uneven pigmentation and sun damage
- Enlarged and clogged pores
- Acne and mild acne scarring
- Dull, rough, or dry skin
Microdermabrasion is also recommended for melasma patients and individuals using retinoids such as Retin-A, who often experience surface dryness and flaking.
How Often Should I Get Microdermabrasion?
Treatments are typically scheduled at one- to two-month intervals, depending on your skincare needs and goals. A series of treatments produces the most noticeable, lasting improvement in texture and tone.
What to Expect After Treatment
Your skin will look brighter and feel smoother right away. Mild redness may occur for a few hours. Use gentle skincare and daily sunscreen to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
