Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses granular crystals and suction to leave your skin brighter and more youthful. Microdermabrasion can conceal and diminish fine lines and improve the texture of your skin. Additionally, our customizable microdermabrasion treatments can also be used to improve the appearance of acne scars and melasma.
At Salonika Medspa, you’ll relax in our inviting space while we will tailor your microdermabrasion treatment for you. Your treatment will finish off with a premium facial masque and creams appropriate for your specific skin type.

what to expect
Before you come in for microdermabrasion, we recommend cleansing your skin and removing your makeup prior to your treatment.
When you arrive, we will cleanse and prep your skin for treatment. While reclining, your practitioner will exfoliate your skin using granular crystals. Microdermabrasion is comfortable for most patients, so numbing cream is not required. Because of the skill of our dermatology team, many of our patients tell us that they notice improvement in their skin’s texture almost immediately.
After microdermabrasion, you might be a little itchy, red or swollen in the area treated, but these side effects should subside within the day. Most of our patients have no downtime and resume their daily agenda right after treatment. We might recommend a non-comedogenic moisturizer to hydrate your skin. Because everyone has unique skin, side effects and results may vary.
In the days after microdermabrasion treatment, it’s important to moisturize and protect your skin from the sun. We recommend avoiding the sun as much as you can after your appointment and we might recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen. At Salonika Medspa, we offer leading broad-spectrum sunscreen products from Elta MD and Isdin.

what’s the difference between a hydradermabrasion and a microdermabrasion?
A hydradermabrasion procedure (sometimes referred to as a hydrafacial) and microdermabrasion can both exfoliate, regenerate, and eliminate impurities in your skin. Overall, hydradermabrasions are milder than microdermabrasions. Because of this, microdermabrasion tends to be more effective than hydradermabrasion on clients with deeper scarring and skin damage. Hydradermabrasion has less downtime than microdermabrasion and tends to be safer for all skin types.
At Salonika Medspa, our skincare specialists will help you determine whether microdermabrasion or hydradermabrasion is right for your skin. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
