What Is Microdermabrasion?

If your skin feels rough or uneven—almost like sandpaper—it may be clogged with dead and damaged skin cells, leaving your complexion dull. At Altogether You Med Spa in Phoenix, AZ, Dr. José A. Ortiz, N.M.D., offers medical-grade microdermabrasion to refresh and rejuvenate your skin.

Microdermabrasion gently removes the outermost layer of damaged skin, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin underneath. This procedure can be performed on its own or combined with complementary treatments, such as chemical peels or dermal fillers, for even more dramatic results.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Ortiz will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your concerns and aesthetic goals. Schedule your consultation today to start your journey toward a more vibrant complexion.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

At Altogether You Med Spa, patients in Phoenix, AZ consistently enjoy the rejuvenating effects of microdermabrasion. This treatment offers multiple advantages, including:

  • Smoothing and balancing uneven skin tone

Our Microdermabrasion Technique

Microdermabrasion is a safe, effective treatment for men and women of all skin types. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, dullness, clogged pores, uneven texture, and surface scars.

During the procedure, the microdermabrasion device gently polishes the skin while simultaneously suctioning away debris. The treatment is noninvasive and typically does not require anesthesia or numbing cream. Extra care is taken around delicate areas such as the eyes. Afterward, your skin is lightly cleansed and a moisturizer with UV protection, selected for your skin type, is applied to support healing and maintain results.

Microdermabrasion FAQ

How much does microdermabrasion cost?

Pricing varies based on your personalized treatment plan. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a plan tailored to your needs. Altogether You Med Spa also offers specials and discounted packages for multiple sessions.

Should I choose microdermabrasion, dermabrasion, or a chemical peel?

Microdermabrasion removes the surface layer of dead skin to create a smoother, healthier complexion. A light chemical peel provides similar results, while dermabrasion or stronger peels target deeper layers for more significant correction. Recovery time and your skin goals will help determine the best option.

How often should I get treatments?

For initial results, 5–12 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart are recommended. Maintenance sessions can then be scheduled every 4–8 weeks. Your technician will create a customized schedule during your consultation.

How should I care for my skin after treatment?

Limit strenuous activity the day of your session and protect your skin from UV exposure with sunscreen or protective clothing. Your provider may recommend serums or other products to reduce redness and support healing.

Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients pair microdermabrasion with facials or injectable treatments, such as BOTOX®, to enhance results. During your consultation, be sure to discuss all your aesthetic concerns so we can develop a comprehensive plan.
