Microdermabrasion in Houston, TX

Microdermabrasion may be a good option for healthy adults who want to improve dullness, rough texture, clogged pores, mild discoloration, and uneven skin tone with a gentle, noninvasive treatment. Because microdermabrasion exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells without harsh chemicals or significant downtime, it can be suitable for many skin types and tones.

Patients may consider microdermabrasion if they want to refresh their complexion, smooth the skin’s surface, reduce the appearance of minor imperfections, or maintain healthier-looking skin as part of a regular skincare routine. This treatment may help improve the appearance of sun damage, brown spots, mild acne scars, and surface-level discoloration. At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Houston, TX, microdermabrasion treatments are customized based on each patient’s skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Microdermabrasion works by gently exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin to remove dead skin cells, surface buildup, and impurities. During treatment, a specialized handheld device is passed over the skin to polish the surface and improve texture, tone, and overall radiance.

The treatment typically works in two steps. First, the device exfoliates the skin using a fine crystal-based or minimally abrasive surface to lift away dull, damaged skin cells. Then, gentle suction helps remove the loosened debris and impurities from the skin. This process leaves the complexion feeling cleaner, smoother, and refreshed while encouraging healthy skin renewal.

Microdermabrasion is noninvasive, comfortable, and requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for patients who want brighter skin, smoother texture, and a more polished glow.

Microdermabrasion provides extensive benefits that improve a wide variety of skin conditions, and is widely recommended by dermatologists to restore clear, healthy skin, remove surface dead skin cells and surface debris, unclog pores and reduce pore size, and soften the appearance of surface imperfections such as fine lines, wrinkles, spots, and scars. Microdermabrasion is also used to treat discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks.  It also stimulates circulation and delivery of blood and oxygen to skin cells, as well as triggering the production of collagen to nourish and rebuild robust, healthy skin cells.

Over time, regular microdermabrasion treatments help to build plumper, healthier skin cells thanks to increased collagen production, producing a younger looking complexion. Collagen is an essential nutrient that works as a building block in skin cells.  Collagen is abundant in skin cells during childhood and youth, which makes skin feel naturally smooth and taut. As we age, and in part thanks to sun exposure, collagen production declines dramatically, resulting in lax, loose skin, uneven skin tone, and the presence of lines and wrinkles.  By stimulating collagen production, microdermabrasion turns back the clock on your skin, restoring its youthful glow.
