What Is Microdermabrasion?

At HVME, we specialize in advanced, non-invasive skin treatments that help patients achieve healthy, radiant skin at any stage of life. If you’re struggling with fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, or rough texture, microdermabrasion offers a gentle yet effective solution. This treatment uses a precision applicator with a fine abrasive surface to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, stimulating cell renewal and collagen production. The result? Smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Safe for all skin types and tones, microdermabrasion can be performed on virtually any area with zero downtime—meaning you can return to your routine immediately. If you're ready to refresh and revitalize your skin, contact HVME in Marin County to schedule your consultation today!

Are You a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion?

Here at Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics, we begin every treatment with a comprehensive consultation to understand your skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Our experienced practitioners will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment plan for achieving healthy, radiant skin.

Microdermabrasion in Marin County at HVME is an excellent option if you experience any of the following:

  • Dull complexion
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Superficial sun damage
  • Melasma (dark patches of discoloration)
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Enlarged pores and blackheads

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that refreshes and revitalizes your skin by removing dead skin cells from the outermost layer. Our practitioners at HVME use an advanced microdermabrasion device that not only exfoliates but also boosts circulation and stimulates collagen and elastin production—key proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm and youthful.

This treatment helps smooth fine lines, minimize scars, fade age spots, and improve skin texture. It also clears pores and enhances the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective. Safe for all skin types and tones, microdermabrasion offers a quick, painless way to achieve radiant, healthier-looking skin with zero downtime.

Microdermabrasion as an Add-On to Your Facial

Microdermabrasion is an excellent add-on treatment to elevate the effectiveness of facials and skincare products. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion enhances product absorption and maximizes the results of many of our facials. When you visit HVME in Marin County, ask your practitioner if microdermabrasion is a suitable addition to your facial treatment for an even more radiant glow.

What to Expect During Your Microdermabrasion Session

From the moment you arrive at HVME, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and relaxing environment. Your treatment begins with a gentle cleansing to remove surface impurities before the microdermabrasion device is guided across your skin, exfoliating away dead cells. You may experience a mild scratching sensation and gentle suction, but the process is painless and often soothing.

The session typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Your provider will monitor your comfort throughout the treatment, making adjustments as needed for your skin’s sensitivity. Once the exfoliation is complete, a hydrating moisturizer and sun protection will be applied to safeguard your newly refreshed skin.

Post-Treatment Care and Results

One of the biggest advantages of microdermabrasion is the lack of downtime. Immediately after your session, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel mildly sensitive, similar to a light sunburn, but these effects usually fade within a few hours. You’ll notice an instant improvement in your skin’s texture, tone, and radiance. To keep your skin looking its best, we recommend the following:

  • Avoid harsh exfoliants and strong skincare products for a few days to prevent irritation.
  • Use makeup optionally—many embrace their fresh, post-treatment glow and go without it.
  • Keep your skin hydrated by using a gentle, non-irritating cleanser.
  • Protect your skin from UV damage by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

For long-term results, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended. Our team at HVME will create a personalized skincare plan and provide aftercare guidance to ensure your skin stays smooth, healthy, and glowing. Book your consultation in Marin County today to get started!
