Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure from our dedicated Zapped skincare specialist to help revolve the top layer of your skin. Microdermabrasion works to help activate your collagen, remove dead skin, and ultimately give you a younger-looking complexion. The treatment uses a diamond grit tip to help break up these cells and reveal softer skin underneath. As we age, collagen production declines and can lead to uneven skin, so a Microdermabrasion from Zapped can help your skin be vibrant and youthful. The procedure is safe, non-painful, and can be handled within an hour by your Zapped specialist!

Our MIcrodermabrasion procedure is simple and effective! First, your skin is cleansed in preparation for our service. Our diamond grit tip wand then lightly abrades the top layers of the skin to reveal your newly radiant skin. Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types and our specialized treatment raises and removes a small section of dead cells, vacuuming and discarding any dead skin.

This might be different depending on your skin tone and also how your skin responds to your first treatment session. You can have treatments every 3-4 weeks and you should see reduced signs of aging after about 5 treatments. Repeat sessions will be needed to maintain results, and it is also vitally important to listen to the advice of our Zapped experts in determining how long to wait in between treatment sessions.

After your first Microdermabrasion treatment at Zapped in Williamsburg, you can expect your skin to have a red-pink glow which should fade after a day or so. You may have some slight skin tightness as well and the area may be sensitive, and all side effects should be temporary. Your Zapped skin-care specialist will have specific instructions for after your treatment, but it is important to not expose your skin to too much sun. We recommend keeping yourself hydrated and using a moisturizer to help prevent any excess peeling.

Microdermabrasion is a very safe procedure, and because it only addresses the surface and superficial layers of the skin. Any side effects are typically minor or you may see no side effects at all. After the initial redness of the skin after treatment, there are only a few common side effects.

• Redness of the skin, similar to a mild sunburn

• Dry or Flaky Skin

• Increased Sun Sensitivity

• Possible Bruising

• Slight Abrasions

• Cold Sores (if you are prone to them)
