Body microdermabrasionsmoother, brighter body skin
Body microdermabrasion is a controlled exfoliation treatment that removes built-up dead skin and smooths rough, uneven texture. It can make areas of the body feel noticeably softer and look brighter and more even. I especially like it when the skin needs more than a scrub but doesn't necessarily need a chemical peel or more aggressive resurfacing. Priced by area.

BookA few myths about body microdermabrasion
"If I scrub harder at home, I can get the same result."
Not really. Aggressive scrubbing can create irritation and inflammation without giving you the same controlled, even exfoliation.
"Chicken skin just means your skin is dirty or dry."
No. That rough, bumpy texture is often related to keratin buildup around the follicles, so washing or moisturizing alone may not completely fix it.
"The more often I exfoliate, the smoother my skin will get."
Usually the opposite. Over-exfoliating can damage the barrier and make roughness, redness and sensitivity worse.
"Microdermabrasion permanently gets rid of keratosis pilaris."
It can improve the texture significantly, but KP tends to be something we manage rather than permanently cure.
Good to know
Before your visit
How to prepare
- For a few days before, keep the area pretty boring — no scrubs, acids, retinoids or strong actives.
- No waxing or depilatory creams right before.
- No tanning or sunburn; skip self-tanner if you can.
- Clean skin — no heavy lotion, body oil or occlusive products.
- Irritated, freshly shaved, scratched or inflamed? Tell me before we start.
The days after
Downtime and aftercare
- Downtime is usually minimal — a little pink, warm or sensitive, especially where there's more buildup.
- Keep the area moisturized; no scrubs, acids or exfoliants for a few days.
- About 24 hours off hot baths, saunas, heavy sweating and friction.
- SPF if the area will be exposed.
- Don't pick or scrub dry skin — let it shed naturally.
Going forward
How often
- Smoothing and maintenance: about every 3–4 weeks.
- Stubborn roughness, "chicken skin" or uneven texture: a short series closer together first, then spaced out.
- I base the schedule on how your skin responds — no over-exfoliating just to stay on a calendar.
Common questions
Is it painful?
No. You'll feel the exfoliation and suction, but it should not feel painful.
Can I do this before an event or vacation?
Usually yes, but I prefer a little breathing room in case you have temporary redness or sensitivity.
Which areas count as small, medium and large?
Small is a localized area. Medium covers areas such as the shoulders, upper arms or upper back. Large covers areas such as the full back — final pricing for large areas is confirmed at your visit once we see the area.
Prices marked + are confirmed at your visit once we see the area.
Who it’s for
A good fit
- Rough or dull skin, uneven texture and dry buildup
- Keratosis pilaris-type texture (commonly called chicken skin)
- Areas that just never seem to feel completely smooth, or that are prone to congestion or ingrown hairs
Pause and ask first
- Sunburn, open skin, an active rash, infection, inflamed acne, an eczema or psoriasis flare, or significant irritation in the area — wait until it's calm
- Recent waxing, laser or peels in the area
- Prescription retinoids, isotretinoin, medications that affect healing, or anything that makes your skin unusually sensitive
