How the technique works
Microdermabrasion at Perma Glow Shanna is a controlled mechanical exfoliation that lifts away the dull, dead outer layer of skin. The process reveals the fresher surface underneath, which tends to look smoother, brighter and more even. Because the outermost skin is removed, topical skincare applied afterward contacts a cleaner surface and can feel more effective immediately.
The treatment targets surface concerns rather than deep structural changes, so the visible effects are driven by removing that outer layer. It suits people who want a cleaner canvas for products and a noticeable change in texture and tone without a long appointment or extensive downtime.
Treatment process and timing
We begin with a brief consultation to confirm skin concerns and whether microdermabrasion is appropriate. A typical appointment for the exfoliation portion at Perma Glow Shanna lasts 15 MINUTES; this session focuses on the controlled mechanical lift of the outer skin layer rather than topical products or extended facial steps.
Clients in Elmhurst often schedule short, targeted sessions around commute times—early mornings, evenings or weekends—when coming from nearby subway and bus connections. Because the treatment is compact, it can be combined with longer facials on separate visits or repeated regularly as part of a maintenance plan agreed with your practitioner.
Who should consider it
Microdermabrasion is a practical option for people noticing surface roughness, clogged pores, dull tone or the early appearance of fine lines; it does not substitute medical procedures. A consultation on arrival clarifies whether this controlled mechanical exfoliation matches your skin’s condition and whether to combine it with other treatments available at our Elmhurst clinic.
