What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand with light suction to sand away the outer layer of dead skin while pulling debris out of the pores. It is a physical exfoliation, so it works on the texture you can feel: roughness, bumpiness, dull buildup and shallow post-acne marks.

At NewskinLA it is built into a full facial: cleanse, the microdermabrasion pass, extractions where needed, then a hydrating mask so the skin is calm when you leave. Anna adjusts the pressure for your skin, which is why it works on combination and oily skin without the irritation people expect.

Microdermabrasion FAQ

Does microdermabrasion hurt?

No. It feels like a rough cat's tongue with light suction. No numbing.

How often should I get it?

Monthly for texture and congestion. Every 6 to 8 weeks for maintenance.

Will it help acne scars?

It softens shallow marks and evens texture over a series. Deeper scars need a TCA peel.

Microdermabrasion or Bio-Brasion?

Same idea; the Bio-Brasion is wet, gentler and infuses serum while it exfoliates, which suits dry, sensitive or dehydrated skin. Microdermabrasion is the stronger polish for oily, congested skin.

Is there downtime?

No. Slight pinkness for an hour or two.

Can I combine it with a peel?

Not the same day. Anna alternates them: microdermabrasion one month, a peel the next.
