Microdermabrasion in Chicago, IL
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin-resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Using a minimally abrasive instrument, this procedure sands the skin, promoting the regeneration of new, healthier skin cells. It’s a popular choice for those seeking deep exfoliation to address various skin concerns, including uneven skin tone and sun damage.
What Can Microdermabrasion Treat?
Microdermabrasion effectively addresses several skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Age spots
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scars
- Dull complexion
How It Works
The treatment utilizes a specialized device that emits fine crystals or employs a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the skin’s surface. This process removes the stratum corneum (the outermost skin layer), stimulating collagen production and enhancing blood flow. The result is accelerated skin renewal, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Microdermabrasion Treatment Process: What to Expect
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at Chicago Facial. Our skincare specialists will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns, and determine if microdermabrasion is the ideal treatment for you. To prepare, it’s advisable to avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of retinoids or exfoliating agents a few days before your session.
The procedure is comfortable and typically lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll feel a gentle sanding sensation as the device moves across your skin. Most clients find the experience relaxing, with minimal discomfort.
Post-treatment, your skin may exhibit mild redness, akin to a slight sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours. It’s essential to apply sunscreen and moisturize regularly to protect the newly exposed skin. Makeup can generally be applied the next day.
Many clients notice immediate improvements in skin brightness and texture. For optimal results, a series of 6 to 10 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance treatments can help sustain the benefits over time.
Am I a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is suitable for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to enhance their skin’s appearance. Ideal candidates are those with:
- Mild to moderate skin imperfections
- Desire for a brighter complexion
- Realistic expectations about the outcomes
However, it may not be suitable for individuals with active acne, rosacea, or certain skin infections. A consultation with our specialists will help determine if this treatment aligns with your skincare goals.
