What to Expect at Your Microdermabrasion Appointment
Your microdermabrasion appointment at Pinnacle Dermatology is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and tailored to your skin goals. Each phase of the visit is carefully guided by a skincare professional to ensure safe treatment and optimal results.
Before Treatment
Before your treatment begins, you’ll have a consultation to discuss your skin concerns, goals, and medical history. Your provider will review your current skincare routine and any previous cosmetic treatments, cleanse your skin to remove makeup or dirt, and explain the procedure so you know exactly what to expect.
During Treatment
The treatment itself typically lasts 30–45 minutes and involves gentle exfoliation using fine crystals or a diamond-tipped device. Your skincare professional will move the device across your skin in controlled patterns, targeting specific areas while minimizing discomfort. No anesthesia is required.
After Treatment
After your session, you can return to normal activities right away. Your provider will share post-treatment skincare guidance to help protect and maintain your results, including the importance of daily sunscreen use while your skin renews.

Proper aftercare and a consistent treatment plan help maximize the benefits of microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion Maintenance Schedule
Depending on your goals, your Pinnacle Dermatology provider may recommend a series of microdermabrasion treatments to achieve and maintain optimal results. They will also provide guidance on treatment frequency and complementary services that can further support your skin health.
