MICRODERMABRASION IN HOUSTON, TX
Are you interested in microdermabrasion? Our dermatologist near you, Dr. Simone Stalling, MD, PhD, FAAD, and her aesthetics team, offer microdermabrasion as well as Dermasweep microdermabrasion with infusions. For more information about both procedures, call our dermatologist in Houston, Texas.
What is Microdermabrasion with infusions?
Microdermabrasion with infusions couples mechanical smoothing of the skin with rejuvenating serums to improve delivery of therapeutic ingredients into the skin. By combining traditional microdermabrasion with innovative serums, we are able to improve the health and appearance of your skin. This treatment involves a small handheld device with a special applicator. The applicator has an abrasive surface that helps to get rid of the top layer of the skin, leaving behind an even, healthier layer of skin. In the last step of the treatment, the applicator is used to infuse a therapeutic serum that is selected to meet your skin needs. It is a non-invasive procedure that takes about 30 to 45 minutes allowing you to return to your regular routine immediately afterwards. You may need follow-up sessions and maintenance treatments to ensure your skin stays in great shape long-term.
Who is Microdermabrasion for?
Anyone can get microdermabrasion with infusion treatments. It can be beneficial for people with all skin types. This treatment can help with many different skin concerns, such as aging, sun damage, and more. Microdermabrasion is painless and requires no downtime. Schedule a cosmetic consultation with our dermatologist about your skin concerns to learn more and find the right treatment for your needs.
How often should I have microdermabrasion treatments?
The ideal treatment schedule depends on your skin type, concerns, and skincare goals. Many patients choose to have microdermabrasion every four to six weeks because that timing aligns well with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Individuals addressing rough texture, clogged pores, or mild discoloration may initially benefit from a series of treatments before transitioning to maintenance visits. Your recommended schedule may also vary if microdermabrasion is combined with other skincare procedures. During your consultation, our licensed aesthetician will develop a treatment plan based on your skin’s condition and desired results.
Can I perform microdermabrasion at home?
Home exfoliation devices are available, but they are much less powerful than professional microdermabrasion systems used in a medical office. While at-home products may temporarily smooth the skin’s surface, they generally cannot achieve the same level of exfoliation or precision. Using aggressive home devices too frequently may also lead to irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin. Professional treatments are customized to your skin type and performed under medical supervision, helping maximize results while reducing the risk of over-exfoliation or unnecessary skin injury.
How long do the results last?
Following a microdermabrasion treatment, many patients notice smoother, brighter skin for several weeks. However, because the skin continuously renews itself and remains exposed to aging, sun damage, and environmental factors, the benefits gradually diminish over time. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine, protecting your skin with sunscreen, and scheduling periodic maintenance treatments can help prolong your results. The longevity of improvement also depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and the concerns being treated. At AVIVA Dermatology, we can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule based on your individual skincare goals.
What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, healthier-looking skin beneath. The treatment may improve skin texture, brighten a dull complexion, soften the appearance of fine surface lines, and enhance the absorption of topical skincare products. It can also help minimize mild pigmentation irregularities and support a smoother overall skin appearance. As there is little to no downtime, many patients incorporate microdermabrasion into their regular skincare routine as a way to maintain healthy-looking skin throughout the year.
Can microdermabrasion help minimize enlarged pores?
Microdermabrasion cannot permanently shrink pore size because pore size is largely determined by genetics, skin type, and aging. However, the treatment can make pores appear less noticeable by removing dead skin cells, excess oil, and debris that accumulate around the openings of the pores. Smoother skin and cleaner pores often create a more refined complexion after treatment. Patients with oily or acne-prone skin may find that regular professional exfoliation helps maintain this improvement. During your aesthetic consultation at AVIVA Dermatology, we can also recommend complementary skincare products or procedures if enlarged pores are one of your primary cosmetic concerns.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion helps by thickening the collagen in your skin, which gives you a more youthful look. As you age, your natural collagen production slows down, which can contribute to signs of aging. It can be used to help with many different skin issues, including:
- Aging
- Scarring
- Acne
- Sun damage
- Discoloration
- Melasma
A series of microdermabrasion procedures allow you to walk away with fresh-looking skin, fewer wrinkles, brighter skin, and smaller pores. Your skin will look better and healthier overall. Adding an infused serum to the treatment will bring an even healthier glow to your skin. For more information about DermaSweep near you, contact Dr. Simone Stalling, MD, PhD, FAAD, today. Our friendly team at AVIVA Dermatology would be happy to help you with your skincare needs so you can truly love your skin.
