What to Expect from a Microdermabrasion Facial | Kiwi Spa Guide

What Are Things to Expect for Microdermabrasion?

Thinking about getting a microdermabrasion facial? Great choice! This gentle yet powerful exfoliation treatment is perfect for smoothing skin, brightening your complexion, and reducing fine lines. But if you're wondering what actually happens during a session, don't worry—I got you! Let’s dive into everything you need to know about microdermabrasion at Kiwi Spa.

First, What Exactly Is Microdermabrasion?

Imagine a mini vacuum cleaner for your face, but instead of just sucking out dirt and oil, it also exfoliates dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny crystals or a diamond tip to buff away the outer layer of your skin, revealing a fresh, smooth, and glowing complexion underneath. It’s painless, effective, and gives you instant results!

What to Expect Before, During & After

Before Your Microdermabrasion Facial

Good news—there’s not much prep needed! But here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Avoid Retinol & Harsh Exfoliants: Stop using strong skincare products like retinoids or exfoliating acids a few days before your appointment.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin fresh and ready for exfoliation.
• Come Makeup-Free: Your skin should be clean for the best results.

During the Treatment

Alright, let’s talk about what actually happens in the treatment room:

• You’ll Get Comfy: You’ll lie back and relax while your esthetician preps your skin.
• The Magic Begins: The microdermabrasion device glides across your skin, gently exfoliating and suctioning away dead cells.
• It Feels Like a Facial Massage: Most people describe the sensation as a light scratching or a sandpaper-like feeling—totally painless!
• Quick & Easy: The whole session usually takes 30-45 minutes—perfect for a lunchtime glow-up!

After the Treatment

Once your session is over, here’s what to expect:

• Instant Glow: Your skin will look brighter and feel smoother immediately!
• A Little Pink, But Not Irritated: Some mild redness is normal, but it fades quickly.
• No Downtime: Unlike chemical peels, there’s no peeling or long recovery time.
• Hydration is Key: Keep your skin moisturized and drink lots of water.
• Sunscreen is a Must: Your fresh skin is more sensitive to the sun, so apply SPF daily!

Who Should Get a Microdermabrasion Facial?

Microdermabrasion is great for:

• Dull, tired skin that needs a refresh
• Fine lines and early signs of aging
• Clogged pores and blackheads
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Anyone looking for that fresh, dewy glow!
