How each step works
Microdermabrasion starts by mechanically buffing away the outer layer of dead surface cells to smooth texture and improve skin receptivity. Dermaplaning follows to remove any remaining surface buildup and fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz"), creating an even surface. LED therapy is applied last to calm the skin after exfoliation and support a comfortable recovery period.
Clients often feel immediate smoothness with transient warmth or mild redness typical after resurfacing; these responses vary by individual skin. Because the treatment combines three resurfacing steps in one 90-minute session, it delivers a more thorough surface refresh than a single exfoliation visit and creates an ideal base for makeup application that many Elmhurst clients appreciate before commuting or events.
Who benefits most from it
This combination suits anyone with dull, uneven, or textured skin who wants more than a single exfoliation in one visit. It is especially convenient for busy Elmhurst residents and transit-oriented commuters who prefer a thorough session without multiple appointments, and for people preparing for makeup-heavy events who want a smooth, even canvas.
Because the session layers three resurfacing methods, your practitioner will assess skin condition during the consultation to ensure the combination is appropriate. The single-visit format balances efficiency with intensity: it gives a deeper surface refresh but also requires following aftercare guidance tailored to your skin and Elmhurst's seasonal climate shifts.
Practical appointment and scheduling details
The treatment is scheduled as a 90 MINUTES appointment priced at $250. Perma Glow Shanna's Elmhurst studio sits near 74th Street and Queens Boulevard, making after-work and quick weekday visits convenient for commuters. Many clients choose early-morning, late-evening, or weekend bookings to fit shift and transit schedules.
After the session expect exceptionally smooth skin and a brighter appearance that many clients use as a base for makeup. Follow provided aftercare to protect the newly exposed surface, especially during Elmhurst's hot, humid summers or cold winters when skin can react differently. The practitioner will advise on topical care and timing for routine activities.
