If your skin has been looking dull, rough, tired, or uneven lately—microdermabrasion might be exactly what it needs. It’s one of the fastest, most effective ways to deeply exfoliate your skin, stimulate collagen, and reveal the smooth, glowing skin hiding just beneath the surface.
At Lux Aesthetics—the original Lux in Indianapolis—we offer professional microdermabrasion facials that go beyond surface-level results. Our customized approach helps clients see real, long-term skin improvements using clinical-grade technology, thoughtful techniques, and personalized care.
In this blog, we’ll break down:
- What microdermabrasion is and how it works
- Who it’s best for
- What results to expect
- Why it’s more effective than scrubs or at-home exfoliants
- And why clients in Indianapolis, Carmel, and beyond love this skin-polishing powerhouse
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating facial treatment that uses a diamond-tipped or crystal-based device to gently abrade the top layer of dead skin cells. It also includes vacuum suction to stimulate circulation, remove impurities, and leave the skin immediately softer and brighter.
Think of it like a safe, professional-grade resurfacing treatment that gives your skin a fresh start.
What Does Microdermabrasion Treat?
Microdermabrasion is a client favorite because it’s safe for most skin types and helps treat a wide range of common skin concerns:
✔️ Dull or uneven skin tone
✔️ Fine lines and early signs of aging
✔️ Clogged pores and blackheads
✔️ Mild acne and congestion
✔️ Sun damage and pigmentation spots
✔️ Rough texture or dry patches
✔️ Enlarged pores
✔️ Dehydrated, tired-looking skin
What to Expect During a Microdermabrasion Facial
At Lux Aesthetics, we combine microdermabrasion with luxurious, clinical facial techniques to give you the ultimate results-driven experience.
1. Skin Analysis + Consultation
We start every treatment by examining your skin and discussing your goals, sensitivities, and history. This ensures we’re tailoring everything to you—not just doing a one-size-fits-all procedure.
2. Double Cleanse
We prep your skin with a thorough cleanse to remove surface impurities, excess oil, and makeup, creating a clean slate for exfoliation.
3. Microdermabrasion Exfoliation
Using a professional-grade diamond-tip wand, we gently sweep over your skin to exfoliate dead cells and improve texture. The suction stimulates circulation and collagen production, leaving your skin fresh, polished, and glowing.
4. Extractions (if needed)
If you’re experiencing breakouts or blackheads, we’ll perform safe, sanitary extractions after exfoliation while the pores are open and the skin is prepped.
5. Hydration + Mask Therapy
We follow up with a custom hydrating or soothing mask to rebalance your skin barrier and deeply replenish moisture.
6. Serums + SPF Protection
Your skin will absorb active ingredients better than ever post-treatment. We finish with serums tailored to your skin goals (anti-aging, brightening, calming), followed by protective SPF.
What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?
✅ Instantly brighter, smoother skin
✅ Evened-out tone and texture
✅ Improved product absorption
✅ Softer fine lines + reduced roughness
✅ Reduced clogged pores and blackheads
✅ Boosted cell turnover and radiance
✅ Safe, non-invasive, no downtime
Most clients leave their first appointment saying, “Wow—I can feel the difference right away.”
How Often Should You Get Microdermabrasion?
While even a single session can show noticeable improvement, a series of treatments offers the best long-term results.
We typically recommend:
- Every 4 weeks for general maintenance or mild texture issues
- Every 2–3 weeks for targeted concerns like pigmentation or acne scars
- Series of 4–6 sessions for more dramatic resurfacing goals
During your consultation, we’ll help you create a customized plan that fits both your skin needs and your schedule.
Microdermabrasion vs. Chemical Peels
Both microdermabrasion and chemical peels exfoliate the skin—but in different ways.
| Treatment | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Microdermabrasion | Mechanical exfoliation using crystals or diamond tip | Dull skin, rough texture, clogged pores |
| Chemical Peels | Uses acids to dissolve dead cells | Pigmentation, acne, deeper wrinkles |
At Lux Aesthetics, we can even combine light peels with microdermabrasion for powerful results without harsh downtime.
Is Microdermabrasion Safe for All Skin Types?
Microdermabrasion is suitable for most skin types, including:
- Oily and acne-prone
- Dry and dehydrated
- Combination skin
- Normal skin with visible texture
- Aging or sun-damaged skin
If you have active cystic acne, rosacea, or fragile capillaries, we may recommend alternative treatments that are gentler—like enzyme therapy or nano-infusion facials.
