One of the most popular advanced skincare treatments in Day Spas right now is microdermabrasion. It’s one of the safest, and most effective anti-aging skincare treatment that can be offered in a Day Spa setting. It is incredibly versatile and can be combined with many types of treatments – basic facials to light enzyme or low percentage acid peels.
It’s very important to be sure that your Day Spa is set up properly to offer microdermabrasion, to be sure to maximize your sales and minimize your costs. We’ve created a mini guide to setting up a microdermabrasion treatment in your spa.
Skin Analysis
Ideally, your first step to offering microdermabrasion should be to provide your clients with a through and effective skin analysis. This can be done in the treatment room with the naked eye by a trained esthetician in a one on one consultation. However, with the advances in imaging technology over the past few years, you can take your analysis to a more sophisticated level by using an imaging system that will show your clients’ the condition of their skin through a computerized image.
For skin analysis we suggest:
DermaQuip
Canfield
The Microdermabrasion Machine
Of course, you’ll need to have a microdermabrasion machine; it’s clearly the most important factor in offering the treatment. While all the machines work with a suction system to whisk dead skin cells away from the surface — there are a few different kinds of machines. There are dry systems that use crystals as the exfoliant, and there are wet systems that use a spinning diamond tip to remove the dead skin cells.
We suggest these vendors for your machine:
ClearFX Skin
DermaSpa Distributors / Altair
KP Beauty Products
The Skincare Products
The products that are used during and after the microdermabrasion treatment are crucial to the nourishment and healing of the skin. Post treatment care is crucial. It’s vital that spa clients are given a post treatment application of high quality skincare products with an emphasis on a high quality sunblock.
Here is a list of product lines that we recommend for your post microdermabrasion recommendations.
Saian Natural Clinical Skincare
Dermastart
CBI Laboratories
MDSolarSciences™

Supplies
Every spa treatment requires supplies in addition to product and equipment. Getting high quality products at a reasonable price is so important to providing a satisfactory microdermabrasion treatment.

Insurance Coverage
You’ll also want to make sure that you have adequate protection for your day spa. Many times more advanced treatments like microdermabrasion need special insurance consideration. Be sure that you have all of the coverage that you need to protect your business.
