TL;DR

• Microdermabrasion Facial: $125. Microdermabrasion + Peel Combo: $145. Prices from our October 2026 menu.
• It removes the uppermost layer of skin with a slightly rough applicator tip, for smoother texture and a brighter look.
• It is not for everyone. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery lists active rosacea, active acne, open sores, psoriasis, lupus and uncontrolled diabetes among reasons to skip it.
• Aftercare is mostly sun care: ASDS advises avoiding direct sun for at least seven days, which matters in Las Vegas.
• Several sessions may be needed for visible change. One visit gives a smoother, fresher surface.

`microdermabrasion near me` is one of the facial searches that brings people to our site most often. This guide gives the price, explains what the treatment actually does, and spells out who should not book it, using guidance from the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) rather than marketing language.

What Is a Microdermabrasion Facial?

A microdermabrasion facial is a resurfacing treatment in which a machine passes a slightly rough applicator tip, made of tiny particles or a diamond surface, over the face to remove the uppermost layer of dead skin. It is used to refine texture and brighten dull skin, usually needs little recovery time, and often works best as a series rather than a single visit.

That description follows the ASDS definition, which says the applicator tip is applied "to the surface of the skin of the face or neck to remove the uppermost layer of skin." Our menu describes the facial as a treatment that gently exfoliates the skin to remove dead cells, refine texture, minimise the look of pores and enhance brightness.

1. Price and What Each Option Includes

The $20 difference between the two microdermabrasion options is the peel. Our menu describes the combo as an advanced corrective facial that pairs exfoliating microdermabrasion with a customised peel to improve the look of skin tone, fine lines and discolouration.

Which to choose on a first visit. Start with the $125 microdermabrasion facial unless you have had both treatments before without irritation. Combining resurfacing with a peel is more intensive, and it is easier to judge how your skin responds to one step at a time.

Prices are the same for everyone, and there are no membership tiers. Current prices are always on our pricing page.

2. What Microdermabrasion Can and Cannot Do

According to the ASDS, microdermabrasion is appropriate for acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun-damaged skin and wrinkles, and "recovery time is generally minimal." It also notes that "multiple sessions may be required in some cases."

An honest framing. A salon microdermabrasion facial is a cosmetic resurfacing treatment. It can make skin look and feel smoother. For deep acne scarring, melasma or any skin condition that is worrying you, a board-certified dermatologist can tell you whether in-office procedures or prescription treatment would serve you better.

3. Who Should Not Book It

The ASDS lists conditions that may make someone a poor candidate for microdermabrasion. Read this list before booking, and tell us at check-in if any apply.

• Active rosacea
• Fragile capillaries or vascular lesions
• Active onset acne
• Warts
• Open sores
• Psoriasis
• Lupus
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Susceptibility to cold sores, unless treated with antiviral therapy by a doctor

Recent procedures matter too. The ASDS says people who have had recent chemical peels, neuromodulator injections or other skin procedures should consult their doctor before microdermabrasion. It also advises avoiding waxing immediately before or after treatment, so do not book a brow or lip wax on the same day.

Have an active breakout? The acne facial at $125 is designed for congested skin and is the better choice while acne is active.

4. Aftercare in the Las Vegas Sun

Most of the aftercare is about protecting new skin from the sun, which in Las Vegas means planning around pool days and outdoor events. The ASDS advises patients to:

• Keep new skin clean, moisturised and protected with sunblock.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least seven days.
• Avoid prescription retinoid products for three to seven days after treatment.
• Avoid sun exposure before or immediately after treatment.

Timing tip for visitors. If you are in Las Vegas for a pool weekend, book microdermabrasion at the end of your trip rather than the start, or choose the hydrating facial instead. Desert sun on freshly resurfaced skin undoes the point of the treatment.

Dry skin afterwards is common in a desert climate. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends gentle, fragrance-free products and applying moisturiser right after washing, as set out in its dry skin tips.

5. Microdermabrasion vs Our Other Facials

Pairing with other services. A facial pairs well with a head spa session or a manicure in the same visit; our guide to combining services in one appointment explains how to schedule it. Avoid pairing it with waxing on the face. For an overview of every facial and what each costs, see our facials guide.

How often to book. Many people space microdermabrasion several weeks apart and assess after a few sessions. Your esthetician can suggest a schedule based on how your skin responds; there is no need to commit to a package on the first visit.
