Refresh, Renew, Rejuvenate: Your Guide to a Microdermabrasion Facial
Ever wondered how some people wake up looking like they’ve just stepped off a wellness retreat? The secret often lies in exfoliation. A microdermabrasion facial at Spa Chevy Chase gently sands away dead skin cells and suction lifts debris, revealing fresh, glowing skin underneath. No harsh chemicals, no downtime, just a safe, tried-and-tested method to kickstart your skin’s renewal process.
We’ll dive into why a microdermabrasion facial is the perfect pick-me-up, what to expect during your session, and how to care for your skin afterwards. You’ll learn about our signature four-step process, the expert team behind your treatment, and even some top tips to extend that post-facial radiance.

What Is a Microdermabrasion Facial?
A microdermabrasion facial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses ultra-fine crystals (or a diamond-tipped wand) plus gentle suction. It works in two ways:
- Exfoliation: Tiny particles or a diamond tip buff away the top layer of dead skin.
- Suction: Clears away the loosened cells and impurities, improving circulation.
This method is ideal if you have a healthy skin barrier and want to address:
– Fine lines and early wrinkles
– Uneven skin tone or light pigmentation
– Enlarged pores and mild acne scars
– Overall dullness and dryness
Unlike stronger peels, a microdermabrasion facial is pretty gentle. There’s no need for numbing creams or lengthy recovery. You’ll leave the spa looking fresh, with just a hint of natural rosiness.
For complementary therapies—like LED Light Therapy or platelet-rich treatments—our med spa offers tailored options. See our med spa services for advanced skin rejuvenation
The Four-Step Spa Chevy Chase Process
At Spa Chevy Chase we’ve refined the microdermabrasion facial into a seamless, four-stage ritual:
-
Deep Cleansing
– We begin with a calming herbal cleanser.
– Removes surface oils, makeup residues and light impurities. -
Toning
– A gentle, alcohol-free toner balances pH and preps your skin.
– Helps the microdermabrasion tool glide smoothly. -
Microdermabrasion
– Finely calibrated suction regulates exfoliation.
– A diamond-tip applicator or crystal jet lightly sands the epidermis. -
Extractions & Nourishing Mask
– Blackheads and congestion are addressed with precision.
– A custom mask packed with soothing agents seals in moisture.
This 60-minute ritual is priced at £120. It’s more than skin-deep: you’ll walk out feeling relaxed and revived.

Key Benefits of a Microdermabrasion Facial

Preparing Your Skin and Aftercare Tips
To get the most from your microdermabrasion facial:
- Pause actives 2–3 days prior: that means AHAs, BHAs, retinoids and physical scrubs.
- No waxing, sugaring or threading at least five days before.
- Discontinue Accutane six months ahead of your appointment.
Post-treatment:
- Use gentle cleansers and avoid strong exfoliants for at least 72 hours.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
- Keep skin hydrated with a calming moisturiser.
- Avoid excessive heat: skip saunas and intense workouts for a day or two.
Following these steps helps maintain results and minimises redness.
