Bring Life Back Into Your Face
Are you ready to revitalize your skin and give it back its youthful appearance? Then medical microdermabrasion could be right for you! Medical microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment that improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots, scars, and acne blemishes.
Medical microdermabrasion is a procedure that exfoliates and removes dry, dead skin cells, leaving your skin refreshed and invigorated.
Our medical microdermabrasion exfoliation includes soothing skin-specific serums to address patient-specific skin conditions. A diamond-tip treatment head exfoliates the skin allowing product to deeply penetrate for smooth, radiant skin. Medical microdermabrasion stimulates new cell growth and addresses your specific skin condition, giving your skin the revitalization you want. Our treatments include full face and neck. There is no down time and treatments can be done in less than 45 minutes. Other areas such as hands, feet or back available upon request.
Your skin is made up of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It’s a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through. All of the action in medical microdermabrasion takes place at the level of the stratum corneum.
When you put lotions or creams on your skin, some of the moisture passes through the stratum corneum, but not all of it. This layer is home to many minor skin imperfections like the aforementioned fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes. By safely removing the stratum corneum layer, your skincare products become more effective and you unlock the full benefit of the anti-aging properties found in medical-grade products.
Safe and Secure
Yes. Safety is one of the primary benefits of medical microdermabrasion. It has minimal risks and is a non-invasive procedure. Our device is maintained to the same standard as all of our other medical equipment. After treatment, the wands are soaked in an anti-bacterial antiseptic solution, scrubbed down like a surgical tool, and then run through an autoclave to achieve a totally sterile cleansing. Because you are getting your procedure done in a medical office in Tualatin, you are assured that the equipment, the office setting, the treatment room, the healthcare professional performing your treatment, and the treatment itself are medical grade regarding sterility and technician experience/training.
All aspects of the treatment are held to all the standards required of a medical office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does medical microdermabrasion help to rejuvenate the skin?
At Bridgeport Laser and Wellness Center, we are excited to offer medical microdermabrasion services for patients looking for skin transformation! Our medical microdermabrasion treatment gently exfoliates the outer layer of skin, removing dead cells and promoting cellular turnover. This process stimulates natural collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, medical microdermabrasion helps to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage.
What areas can be treated with medical microdermabrasion?
Medical microdermabrasion is a noninvasive treatment suitable for the face, neck, chest, hands, and back. It is versatile and reliable, and it can target specific problem areas or enhance the overall skin.
Does medical microdermabrasion hurt?
Medical microdermabrasion is considered a mild procedure that is often well-tolerated by our patients. Our trained professionals at Bridgeport Laser and Wellness Center use specialized tools to gently remove the outer layer of skin without causing any discomfort. Patients may feel a mild scratching sensation during treatment, but it is not painful.
How often should I get medical microdermabrasion treatments?
A patient’s medical microdermabrasion treatment frequency depends greatly on individual skin concerns and goals. For optimal results, we suggest a series of treatments a few weeks apart. After completing a series, maintenance treatments can be done every one to three months.
Is there any downtime after a medical microdermabrasion treatment?
Patients will notice redness and mild sensitivity immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Some patients might notice slight peeling or flaking of the skin in the days following the treatment. Medical microdermabrasion has no significant downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Is medical microdermabrasion safe for patients of all skin types?
Medical microdermabrasion is considered a safe and effective treatment for most skin types. However, those with active acne, rosacea, or other inflammatory skin conditions may need to avoid this treatment.
