NO. Microdermabrasion machines are manufactured at two different levels: aesthetic-grade and medical-grade. Medical-grade microdermabrasion is F.D.A. approved for a deeper exfoliation, which translates into more impressive and lasting results for you. At Melville Clinic we are able to offer you medical-grade microdermabrasion.

Although fantastic results are achieved with the first session, a minimum of six treatments is recommended for long-lasting results. These treatments are usually given every two weeks. After the first six sessions, you should receive treatments once a month to maintain your youthful-looking skin.

What should I do after treatment?

As with all Melville Clinic treatments being non-invasive treatments, there is no downtime. You can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment. It is recommended you that avoid sun exposure on the treated area for at least 24 hours. Also, because your outer layer of skin has been exfoliated, the treated area will be sensitive to hot water and sweat for the first day.
