The Treatment
What microdermabrasion does
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-chemical exfoliation treatment. A wand with fine crystals or a diamond tip gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.
The deeper exfoliation also improves how well your skincare products absorb afterward — serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively into the freshly exfoliated surface.
Best as a 4-6 week maintenance treatment for ongoing texture and tone, or as a pre-event treatment 1-2 days before for a clean, glowing finish.
Best for
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Surface texture and roughness
- Mild congestion and clogged pores
- Pre-event glow (1-2 days before)
- Anyone wanting an exfoliation alternative to chemicals
- Sensitive skin (gentler than chemical peels)

What Our Facial Clients Say
★★★★★
I tried Skinvive injections at the Los Angeles location and my skin feels insanely smooth and hydrated. Not fake or puffy, just naturally glowy.
★★★★★
As a traveler in LA I found my experience here to be delightful. Skinsation LA is located near the trendy Melrose District and the historic Fairfax District. I've had top notch facials, botox and dermal fillers. The staff provides super care, and the treatments leave your skin glowing. Afterward, you can explore the quirky shops around La Brea or grab coffee at a hidden gem nearby, yum!
★★★★★
I visited Skinsation LA in Los Angeles, and I was honestly surprised by how cool and different it felt. The spa is inside a fancy medical building near Beverly Hills, but the vibe is friendly, not snobby. When I walked into the spa it smelled like lavender, and the waiting area had gold accents, soft white couch, and a wall of glowing skincare bottles that looked like a beauty TikTok video.
★★★★★
Just had my second visit to Skinsation LA, and wow, I’m hooked! From the second I walked in the vibe was super chill and clean. You can just tell everyone really cares about the place. The staff was super friendly and made me feel right at home. which is always a plus. 2025 is the start of my glow up.
★★★★★

FAQ
Microdermabrasion Questions
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-chemical exfoliation treatment that uses fine crystals or a diamond-tip wand to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. It reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath and improves product absorption.
Does microdermabrasion hurt?
No. Most clients describe it as a mild scratching or vibrating sensation — comfortable throughout. No numbing required.
How is microdermabrasion different from dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to scrape away dead skin AND fine vellus hair. Microdermabrasion uses crystals or a diamond tip — removes dead skin only, no hair removal. Microdermabrasion goes slightly deeper than dermaplaning.
Is there any downtime?
None. Skin may look slightly pink for 30-60 minutes after, but you can wear makeup and return to normal activities immediately.
How often should I get microdermabrasion?
Every 3-4 weeks is typical, matching your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. More frequent treatments aren't more beneficial.
