Chicago Microdermabrasion: Refine Medical Spa Microdermabrasion Treatments

A Male Perspective: Microdermabrasion at Refine Medical Spa

I met with Dr. Vulich of Refine MedSpa and she recommended that I try Refine’s Microdermabrasion treatment. Not one to disobey doctors' orders, I booked my microdermabrasion appointment.

During the treatment, I would never have known that thousands of aluminum oxide crystals were flowing over my skin. To me, it basically felt like a tiny pumice stone was gently exfoliating my face. It felt like a grainy pencil was literally erasing the dull surfaces of my skin. As I grew to understand during my 30-45 minute treatment, detailed explanations of each procedure at Refine are standard practice. Let me just say that the esthetician was extremely knowledgeable about skin care; she always let me know what she was doing.

Far from just a “sandblasting” procedure, great care was taken to minimize or completely eliminate any potential discomfort associated with treatment. She began with a series of “facial-like” applications (even though she did a great job of explaining to me what she was doing, I was so relaxed, I immediately forgot what she told me) and ended with a mild, soothing toner, moisturizing cream, and a sun-block application.

Post treatment, I saw that my normally very sensitive skin completely survived the microdermabrasion and there was no discomfort, redness or irritation involved. Although I generally consider myself to have pretty normal skin, many people (including strangers) came up to me that week to comment on my skin and my girlfriend told me that my face felt as smooth as a baby’s bottom, which turns out to be a good thing.
