Our Microdermabrasion Facial Transforms Dull Skin into a Luminous Complexion
At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery in San Antonio, we understand that every patient has unique skin needs and goals for improvement. That’s why we offer a range of skin resurfacing options, including the highly sought-after microdermabrasion facial. This gentle yet effective treatment is designed to exfoliate the outer layer of skin, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion beneath. Microdermabrasion Facial is favored for its ability to deliver impressive rejuvenation results without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures. Whether you’re looking to diminish fine lines, improve skin texture, or achieve an overall brighter appearance, our microdermabrasion facial can help you achieve your skincare dreams.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is literally the process of abrading (scrubbing or scraping) the skin, commonly used to treat deep acne scars. It can be pretty harsh, so it is painful and requires downtime for recovery. Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, is a gentler version of this treatment that exfoliates the skin to reveal a smoother, fresher surface with a more even tone and texture.
At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, we use the most advanced microdermabrasion technique – a diamond-tipped wand that lightly “sands” the epidermis to remove skin cells and surface irregularities. The diamond tip is more precise and safer than the traditional technique (which uses crystals), allowing us to exfoliate deeper and also treat the tender, delicate skin around the mouth and eyes.
This treatment is not recommended for patients who are taking isotretinoin for acne or have taken this medication within the past six months because this can increase the risk of scarring. To ensure patient safety, we recommend waiting at least six months after taking this medicine.

- Minimizes Acne Scars

- Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles

What happens during a microdermabrasion procedure?
During the microdermabrasion procedure, we move the diamond tip wand over the target area. As the device exfoliates, it also gently suctions away the dead skin cells and other debris. Along with resurfacing the skin, the microdermabrasion process also helps to thicken collagen that supports skin cells, so the surface appears firmer, as well as smoother.
The procedure usually takes about an hour.
Microdermabrasion Aftercare: What To Expect During Recovery
Because this procedure is so gentle, there is no recovery period required. Patients can go right back to their normal routine.
Just one microdermabrasion treatment can produce visible improvement. However, because the procedure is so gentle, the results are subtle. To achieve optimal resurfacing and tightening, we recommend 3 to 6 treatments, depending on each patient’s specific skin condition.
Treatment appointments can be scheduled weekly. We find that many patients like to schedule regular future treatments as well, to maintain their smoother, more polished appearance.
