Procedure Technique
Microdermabrasion treatment is an intra-epithelial or superficial treatment.
During/After the Procedure
Since microdermabrasion is a superficial skin procedure, local anesthesia is not necessary. It can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour and is performed in the office by our aesthetician. Patients can expect no downtime with this treatment. Peeling will be minimal. Your skin will look and feel smoother after a microdermabrasion treatment. The average cost of microdermabrasion may vary depending on your goals and how many treatments you need.
Microdermabrasion Reviews
I have been going to Prima Center to see the aesthetician, Najda for over a year now. She gives the best facials! She customizes your treatment based on your skin needs, which I like. You’re not getting a cookie cutter facial like some of the other places want to give to all their clients. She has definitely helped to keep my skin looking fresh and vibrant. I recently was at a corporate meeting and met a new colleague. The whole day, she kept commenting on how beautiful my skin looked. I must say, she is not the first to comment on my skin. Love Love going to Najda and would highly recommend.
Facial Fix!!! - Duluth, GA - I am honored to recommend Dr. Z for his dedication to his profession. He went above and beyond explaining the surgery required to fix a botched surgery from another company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ideal Candidate?
Any individual, men or women, with skin irregularities, may consider the benefits of microdermabrasion. It’s an effective treatment for those who have fine wrinkles and textural problems of the skin.
Who Should Avoid It?
There are some precautions for those who have specific skin conditions, including severe acne or those who are on aggressive acne medications. The doctor will evaluate the patient’s condition before any treatment and inquire about any medical case that may be present, or medications that have been taken within the last year.
How About Freckles?
Freckles are an overproduction of melanin in the skin and common to those who have a fair complexion. It becomes visible due to extreme exposure to sun. Although dermabrasion can remove the top layers of skin where freckles are contained, there are other alternatives specifically for freckle removal such as a chemical peel or laser treatment to minimize the freckles from reoccurring.
Is A Chemical Peel Better?
Microdermabrasion and chemical peels both refinish the skin to promote new skin growth. Both can be mildly or aggressively invasive depending on how many layers are involved.
