How the treatment works
Microdermabrasion at SL Aesthetic uses the Derma Genesis vacuum controlled mechanism to perform mechanical exfoliation. The device lifts and removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells with controlled vacuum and abrasion, exposing fresher epidermis without chemical peels. This non‑invasive method reduces surface buildup and prepares the skin for better topical absorption while remaining a mechanical, not chemical, procedure.
Because the action is mechanical, results depend on pass technique, skin condition, and treatment goals. Some clients use microdermabrasion as a single mechanical dermal peel; others begin with it as the first step before a Derma Genesis infusion. The procedure is offered to help create a cleaner surface, not to guarantee a specific medical or cosmetic outcome.
What to expect during visit
A typical appointment includes a consultation, cleansing, the microdermabrasion passes, and finishing serum or product application; the full service is scheduled for 60 minutes and is priced at $150. During the visit your provider will adjust the Derma Genesis settings to your skin’s tolerance and treatment goals, explaining each step and answering questions before starting.
After the mechanical exfoliation, your skin may appear brighter and feel smoother; many clients notice increased immediate absorption of high‑grade serums and cosmetics. Expect minimal recovery time; providers advise simple aftercare such as gentle hydration and sunscreen. SL Aesthetic’s Mineral Point Road location makes it a convenient stop for commuters or shoppers near West Towne Mall.
Who is a good candidate
People looking for gentle physical exfoliation, improved skin texture, or a preparatory step before a Derma Genesis infusion often choose microdermabrasion. Local clients from Madison and nearby towns prefer it when they want a non‑invasive, clinic‑performed peel. A professional consultation at SL Aesthetic determines suitability and whether microdermabrasion should stand alone or be combined with other services.
Results and tolerance are shaped by individual skin characteristics, seasonal conditions common to the Upper Midwest, and daily routines such as commuting and outdoor exposure. If you have active skin conditions or concerns, your provider will review medical history and recommend the safest path forward rather than assuming universal suitability.
