Microdermabrasion in Boston
Draft for review: this page was written for bostonfacials.com and still needs Kerry’s sign-off before it is used in ads or treated as final.
Microdermabrasion in Boston for dull, thickened skin that needs a polish, not a wound. Booked in Winthrop, with a real conversation about who should skip it.
Microdermabrasion in Boston is an old treatment with a clear job: polish thickened, dull skin so makeup sits better and home-care acids are not doing all the work. It is a poor job for skin that is already thin, sunburned, or covered in inflamed acne.
The Winthrop studio lists microdermabrasion as its own treatment, separate from dermaplaning and from a quick “Boston buff” add-on. Polishing and shaving the surface are not interchangeable, even though both get called exfoliation online.
A sensible booking
Choose microdermabrasion when texture is rough and calm. Choose dermaplaning when peach fuzz and dry flakes are the complaint and you want makeup to look smoother next week. Choose neither the week you started a new retinoid. If you are comparing this with a HydraFacial, they feel different: one is crystal or diamond polish, the other is a wet device facial. Ask which one Kerry would put you in.
Questions guests ask
Is microdermabrasion the same as dermaplaning?
No. Microdermabrasion uses a polishing device. Dermaplaning uses a blade to lift vellus hair and surface cells. Kerry will pick one, not stack both by default.
Will it help acne scars?
It can soften a dull surface. It does not erase deep scars. Needling is the conversation for texture that polishing will not touch.
How red will I be?
Often pink for a short time. If you have an event the same evening, say so when you book.
