Buff away dullness for instantly smoother, brighter skin.
Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tip wand or fine crystals to mechanically exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin — revealing fresh, smoother, brighter skin underneath. At DaVida Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio, microdermabrasion is one of our most-recommended add-ons or standalone treatments for clients wanting an instant glow-up with zero downtime.
Why people reach for it
You'll see and feel the difference immediately — surface texture refines, makeup glides on better, and skin tone looks more even from the very first treatment.
No redness, no flaking, no recovery period. Walk in, get your treatment, walk out looking glowing — perfect for busy schedules and pre-event prep.
Beyond the immediate exfoliation, microdermabrasion stimulates faster cell turnover in the weeks that follow — leading to brighter, healthier skin with consistent treatments.
Performed before serums and treatments, microdermabrasion enhances product absorption — making your at-home actives meaningfully more effective.
Who it's for
Microdermabrasion is the right pick for:
Why it works
Medical-grade microdermabrasion device with a diamond-tip applicator that mechanically exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells with controlled pressure.
The device's gentle vacuum pulls debris and dead cells away as the diamond tip exfoliates — meaning the treatment is thorough without irritating skin.
Microdermabrasion is purely mechanical — no acids, no enzymes, no chemical exfoliants. Ideal for clients with chemical sensitivities or those building tolerance gradually.
Suitable for nearly all skin types and tones. Not recommended for active acne, rosacea flare-ups, or severely sensitive skin (we'll guide you to alternatives if needed).

Common questions
How much does microdermabrasion cost in San Antonio?
At DaVida, a single microdermabrasion treatment is $65, with a 3-treatment package available for $180 (save $15). The 3-pack is our recommended starting point for clients establishing a monthly cadence.
How often should I do microdermabrasion?
Most clients do microdermabrasion once a month — that cadence keeps surface texture refined and pairs well with monthly cleansing treatments. Some clients do it every 2–3 weeks during heavy product-use periods (active retinol, etc.) for extra exfoliation support.
Microdermabrasion vs dermaplaning — which is better?
Both exfoliate, but they work differently. Microdermabrasion uses a diamond tip to abrade the surface layer; dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to scrape off dead skin and peach fuzz. Many of our clients alternate between the two — microdermabrasion one month, dermaplaning the next — for variety. Both are $65 and same-tier treatments at our practice.
Will it hurt or leave my skin red?
No. Microdermabrasion is essentially painless — most clients describe it as a mild scratching sensation followed by a vacuum pull. There's no redness, no flaking, no recovery. You'll walk out looking glowing.
Can I do microdermabrasion if I have acne?
Mild congestion responds well to microdermabrasion. Active inflammatory acne (cystic, pustular) is generally not appropriate for microderm — we'd recommend a cleansing treatment instead. We assess at consultation and recommend the right treatment for your skin's current state.
Should I avoid retinol or actives before microdermabrasion?
Skip retinol, AHAs, and BHAs for 2–3 days before treatment to avoid over-exfoliation and irritation. We'll guide you on resuming your home routine after treatment — typically you can return to actives 24–48 hours later.
