Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion in Chicago, IL
Our diamond-tip microdermabrasion works through controlled exfoliation and suction. The diamond-encrusted wand gently abrades the skin’s surface, effectively removing the dull outer layer of dead cells that can make your complexion appear lackluster. Simultaneously, the suction component whisks away the exfoliated particles while stimulating circulation and encouraging collagen production. Unlike older crystal microdermabrasion systems, our diamond-tip technology offers more precise control, allowing us to adjust the intensity based on your skin’s needs and sensitivity. The treatment also triggers your skin’s repair process, prompting cellular renewal and collagen production that continues to improve your skin in the days following your treatment.
WHAT IS Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal the fresher, younger skin beneath. At House22, we use diamond-tip microdermabrasion—the gold standard in exfoliation technology—to precisely polish your skin while simultaneously vacuuming away debris and stimulating circulation. This powerful yet gentle treatment is a skincare staple for maintaining smooth, bright, and even-toned skin.
Why You’ll love it
Your microdermabrasion session begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin to remove surface oils and debris. We’ll then perform a skin analysis to determine the appropriate intensity level for your specific concerns and skin type. During the treatment, you’ll feel a mild scratching sensation as the diamond tip moves across your skin, along with gentle suction. Most clients find this sensation unusual but not uncomfortable.
The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Immediately afterward, your skin will appear slightly pink and feel smoother to the touch. This mild redness usually subsides within a few hours. There’s no downtime—you can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding intense sun exposure for 24 hours and using SPF diligently. For optimal results, we suggest a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart, followed by monthly maintenance sessions.
