Microdermabrasion is an extremely popular skin rejuvenation treatment because it is both quick and effective and is appropriate for all skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI). Discover more about this popular medspa skin treatment and whether this service is right for you!

What is Microdermabrasion?

A microdermabrasion is a mild yet effective exfoliation treatment that gently sands the skin. This treatment is perfect for routine skin care maintenance or for those patients who need to prep their skin for more aggressive skin care treatments. During your microdermabrasion treatment, your aesthetician will be using a device that utilizes vacuum technology to remove debris and cleanse the skin. Simultaneously, aluminum oxide crystals can be released at high speed during your treatment to encourage this cleansing and exfoliation process. In about 30 minutes, the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells is removed revealing fresh and vibrant looking skin.

Who Should Consider Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a procedure that can be the perfect addition to anyone’s skin care regimen because the procedure is safe and effective for all skin types. Since no chemicals are used, it is a compelling choice for those who have topical sensitivities or for women who are either pregnant or nursing.

Medical grade serums can be applied directly after microdermabrasion for maximum absorption such as hyaluronic acid or Vitamin C. Like other exfoliation methods, the benefits of dermaplaning are most evident when performed on a consistent basis as part of your healthy skincare regimen.

Recovery From Microdermabrasion

Patients may have some mild pinkness of the skin in the treatment areas immediately after their microdermabrasion treatment, but this pinkness will typically dissipate within a few hours. The skin will immediately feel lighter and smoother with greater effects apparent after each subsequent treatment. Oftentimes we will recommend post-treatment skin care products to help promote a smooth and youthful complexion and to enhance your results between appointments.

On March 10, 2025 the Long Island Beauty Awards delivered a night straight out of a dream. Guests arrived in breathtaking custom gowns, gliding across the Pink Carpet for live interviews before stepping into a cocktail room transformed into an ethereal white wonderland. Twinkling branches cast a soft glow over the VIP Lounge, where Cynosure Lutronic, presented by Permanent Touch Cosmetics, showcased their AccuFit technology on a jaw-droppingly gorgeous model.

Elite sponsors—including Revision Skincare, CoolPeel by Cartessa, and Galderma—networked with beauty’s best, as industry leaders sipped cocktails and toasted to excellence. The ballroom? Pure Old Hollywood romance. Draped in elegance, it was unrecognizable as Crest Hollow Country Club. Winners, finalists, and Beauty Council members took center stage, accepting stunning crystal awards before hitting the dance floor with DJ Ivan from Drive Up DJs.

From dazzling décor to top-tier industry connections, the evening was a flawless fusion of luxury, innovation, and celebration—one that will be talked about until next year’s awards!
