Microdermabrasion at Pure Lux Medspa in Edina Minnesota is a non-invasive skincare procedure that exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells using fine diamond-tipped wand, promoting a smoother, more radiant complexion.

The procedure involves gently abrading the skin’s surface, which helps to remove dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. This encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

Microdermabrasion can help improve the texture of the skin. The treatment prepares the skin for better product absorption that can assist the results of improving the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores, making it suitable for various skin types.

Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, often described as a mild scratching or tingling sensation. There is typically no downtime afterward.

Microdermabrasion sessions typically take about 60 minutes to complete. Before the procedure, we prepare your skin with a thorough double cleanse and apply antioxidants to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness. During the microdermabrasion itself, we gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells. After the procedure, we apply a soothing biocellulose mask, followed by a relaxing facial massage to stimulate the facial muscles and promote circulation. To finish, we tailor a regimen of SkinBetter or DMK products, ensuring the specific ingredients target your unique skin concerns for optimal results. This comprehensive approach not only revitalizes your skin but also leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Many clients benefit from a series of treatments, usually 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve the best results. Individual needs may vary.

After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours, and you can resume normal activities immediately.

Side effects are generally minimal but can include temporary redness, tenderness, or slight swelling. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize any irritation.

It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to recover fully and to avoid clogging pores.

Individuals with active acne, rosacea, eczema, or certain skin conditions should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing microdermabrasion to determine if it’s appropriate for their skin type.
