What Is Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion?
Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a handpiece with a fine diamond-textured tip to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells while simultaneously suctioning away debris. The result is smoother, more even-toned skin and a refreshed appearance. At Le Petit Spa Charlotte, microdermabrasion is currently offered as an add-on treatment that can be paired with a facial.
Microdermabrasion at Le Petit Spa Charlotte is performed by trained, licensed estheticians as a professional esthetic service — not a medical procedure. Individual results and experiences vary.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Consultation
Your esthetician reviews your skin and goals to confirm microdermabrasion is a good fit and to tailor the treatment to your skin.
Treatment
Using a diamond-tip handpiece, your esthetician gently exfoliates the skin's surface while suctioning away dead skin cells and debris.
Finishing Care
Hydrating and soothing products are applied to calm and protect your refreshed skin.
Microdermabrasion vs. Dermaplaning
Both microdermabrasion and dermaplaning are professional exfoliation treatments, but they work differently. Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) from the skin's surface. Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tip handpiece to mechanically exfoliate and suction away dead skin cells, without addressing facial hair. Your esthetician can help you decide which treatment — or combination — best fits your skin and goals.
Microdermabrasion vs. Microchanneling
Microdermabrasion and microchanneling are both skin renewal treatments, but they target the skin differently. Microdermabrasion mechanically exfoliates the skin's outer surface for immediate smoothness and brightness. Microchanneling creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to support deeper product absorption and the skin's natural renewal process. Some clients incorporate both into their skincare routine at different intervals — ask your esthetician what's right for you.
Preparation & Aftercare
A few simple steps can help you get the most out of your microdermabrasion treatment.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin when possible
- Avoid retinoids or strong exfoliating products for 2 to 3 days before your appointment
- Wear sunscreen daily after treatment
- Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days after treatment
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare for 24 to 48 hours after treatment
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or strong active ingredients immediately after treatment
