What Is Microdermabrasion?
When you touch your face, does your complexion feel smooth and soft or like sandpaper? If rough, the surface layer of your skin may be cluttered with dead and damaged skin cells that can make your complexion dull and uneven. At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, we proudly offer cosmetic services, like nonsurgical skin resurfacing with microdermabrasion at our West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA practices. Effective and fast, microdermabrasion removes the surface layer of damaged and dead skin so your complexion is brighter and healthier. This procedure can be used alone or with another cosmetic treatment, like a dermal filler or chemical peel, for more remarkable results. At your initial consultation, we will assess your skin and create a custom treatment plan to fit your needs and cosmetic goals.
How Does Microdermabrasion Work?
Microdermabrasion treatments are performed at our office after a consultation to decide what services will give you the best results. For the treatment, you will relax in a treatment chair as your face is prepared and cleaned. The microdermabrasion handpiece will run along your skin as it exfoliates and vacuums the crystals and dead skin. While the process may feel odd, it should not be uncomfortable so you shouldn't need a local anesthetic or numbing cream. The microdermabrasion will be applied evenly over the areas required but with extra caution in delicate areas, like around the eyes. Once the treatment is complete, your skin will be lightly cleansed to remove any leftover debris before a moisturizer, chosen for your skin's needs with sun protection, is massaged into the skin.
What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?
At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, our patients experience several benefits with their microdermabrasion treatments, frequently returning back for more. Some of the benefits this aesthetic procedure yields are:
- Renews and evens out the skin appearance
- Promotes a radiant, rejuvenated skin appearance
- Levels out rough or bumpy skin feel
- Exfoliates damaged and dead skin cells on the skin surface

Microdermabrasion FAQ
How much does microdermabrasion cost?
The cost of microdermabrasion will be discussed during your initial appointment. After reviewing your skin concerns and goals, we'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We often offer specials on skin treatments like microdermabrasion and provide discounted packages when purchasing multiple sessions.
Should I get microdermabrasion or a chemical peel?
The best treatment for you will depend on your skin concerns and desired results. Microdermabrasion gently removes the top layer of dead and damaged skin cells, leaving your complexion smoother and more refreshed. A light chemical peel offers similar benefits, while a deeper chemical peel targets skin concerns beneath the surface. Recovery time is also a factor — microdermabrasion involves little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for many.
How often should I get microdermabrasion treatments?
We typically recommend 5 – 12 sessions spaced 2 – 4 weeks apart to achieve noticeable improvements. After your initial series, maintenance treatments every 1 – 2 months can help preserve your results. During your first visit, we'll design a treatment plan outlining how often you should schedule sessions based on your specific goals.
How should I care for my skin after a microdermabrasion treatment?
After your microdermabrasion session, it's important to rest your skin for the remainder of the day. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds, and apply sunscreen to protect your complexion. To minimize redness or swelling, we may recommend soothing serums or specific skin care products that support the healing process.
Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?
Microdermabrasion can easily be paired with other cosmetic treatments for enhanced results. Many people choose to combine it with injectables like BOTOX® or include it as part of a custom facial. Be sure to share all your skin care goals during your consultation so we can create a comprehensive plan that addresses your needs.
