If you feel like you are losing confidence due to dull skin or other skin blemishes, you are not alone. Fortunately, microdermabrasion could be the solution you’ve been searching for. This minimally invasive treatment can reduce your blemishes or even eliminate them in just a few sessions by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin.
Led by the highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Victor S. Ferrari, our Premier Plastic Surgery Center team aims to make every patient feel confident and secure in their appearance. By offering microdermabrasion in Charlotte, NC, we provide patients with a minimally invasive, long-lasting treatment that minimizes insecurities and boosts confidence.
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic treatment that breaks down the dead skin cells in the outermost layer of the dermis to promote healthy, new growth for the skin beneath. It is performed using a diamond tipped wand that gently glides over the skin to precisely exfoliate. As the dead cells are removed and new cells are revealed, your skin boosts collagen production to maintain a refreshed, youthful glow while repairing any blemishes or scarring.
Microdermabrasion offers plenty of benefits beyond its FDA approval and minimal invasiveness, including:
Healthy individuals seeking clearer, smoother skin are good candidates for microdermabrasion treatments. Microdermabrasion is completely safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

When you arrive at our center, our skilled team will warmly welcome you. During your visit, we’ll discuss what you want to achieve for your skin and develop a customized plan just for you. Our aim at Premier Plastic Surgery Center is to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease, so if you have any questions about your treatment, don’t hesitate to ask! For the week before your microdermabrasion treatment, avoid direct sun exposure, waxing or shaving, exfoliants, and aspirin-based medications.
Many patients find microdermabrasion treatments to be relaxing. Your treatment will begin with your skin being thoroughly cleansed. Once ready, your highly skilled provider will begin the microdermabrasion by gently gliding the special diamond tipped device over the treatment area. A detoxifying product is used to massage and circulate your blood flow. Next, a facial mask is applied for 10 minutes. Once the mask is removed, a steam towel is used to remove any remaining product, followed by customized products for your skin. On average, the entire treatment takes about 30 minutes to complete.
You may experience mild sensitivity after your microdermabrasion. This is entirely normal, and many patients compare it to a sunburn. You should see your full results one to two weeks after your treatment. We recommend that most patients return for follow-up treatments every three to four weeks to continuously improve their skin’s appearance. On average, it takes at least six treatments for the desired results to appear fully. To maintain results between treatments, follow a healthy lifestyle, moisturize regularly with gentle products, stay hydrated, and apply sunscreen daily.
We are led by Charlotte plastic surgeon, Dr. Victor S. Ferrari, MD, and offer innovative skin rejuvenation solutions like microdermabrasion tailored to each patient’s unique goals.

Most patients report that microdermabrasion feels like a gritty, tugging sensation on the skin. Overall, the treatment is rather relaxing, though patients with more sensitive skin may feel slight discomfort from the exfoliating effect.
Microdermabrasion lasts about two to four weeks, but repetitive treatment can often eliminate the appearance of scars and other temporary facial blemishes.
Patients are advised to wait three to four weeks between treatments.
The downtime for microdermabrasion is only 24 hours, as this is how long it takes for any residual redness or flaking to fade.
The cost of microdermabrasion depends on many variables, including the treatment location and the number of treatments the patient wishes to receive. During your consultation, your provider will be able to give you accurate pricing.
