Microdermabrasion Treatment in St. Petersburg, FL
Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates to improve skin texture, tone and overall glow.
What Microdermabrasion Treatment Does
Microdermabrasion is a refining, skin smoothing treatment that gently exfoliates to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion. It removes the outermost layer of dull, dead skin cells and encourages cell turnover. The result is improved texture, more even tone and a healthy glow. If you want to smooth rough patches, reduce the appearance of fine lines or simply refresh your complexion, microdermabrasion offers a non-invasive way to do it with zero downtime.
Red light therapy is included to support skin’s natural processes. Lymphatic drainage reduces puffiness and many clients find it helps their skin feel refreshed.
Who Microdermabrasion Treatment Is For
Microdermabrasion is ideal if you want to improve skin texture, tone and overall glow. It works well for most skin types and concerns: dull or tired-looking skin, uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and minor pigmentation. It is gentle enough for regular use and effective enough to deliver visible improvement.
If your skin concerns include deeper scarring, active acne cysts or broken capillaries, talk to the team at your consultation. Microneedling or a targeted facial may be a better fit. For pregnancy, active skin infections or certain medical conditions, we review your health history at the consultation to confirm what is safe for you.

How Microdermabrasion Works at KRIDO
Microdermabrasion uses a controlled flow of fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to gently buff away the top layer of skin. The process is mechanical exfoliation, not chemical. It removes keratin buildup and reveals the fresher skin underneath. At KRIDO, microdermabrasion is built into a full facial experience using Circadia professional skincare.
Every treatment includes a deep cleanse, the microdermabrasion exfoliation, a custom Circadia mask tailored to your skin, then finishing serums. Red light therapy follows. Small studies suggest it may support collagen and skin texture. The session ends with lymphatic drainage massage to reduce any residual puffiness and help your skin absorb the treatment fully. The entire experience is designed to be effective and deeply relaxing.
You start with a consultation. We read your skin, discuss your goals and recommend the facial that suits you. You pay for the facial.
Microdermabrasion vs. Other Exfoliation Options
Microdermabrasion is one of several exfoliation options. Here is how it compares:
| Treatment | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Microdermabrasion | Mechanical exfoliation, removes dead skin with crystals or diamond tip | Improving texture, tone, glow, gentle enough for most skin |
| Dermaplaning | Physical exfoliation with a blade, removes dead skin and vellus hair | Instant smoothness, better product absorption, makeup application |
| Chemical Peels | Dissolve dead skin with acids (not offered at KRIDO) | Deeper exfoliation, pigmentation, acne scars, consult a medical provider |
| Microneedling | Creates micro-channels to stimulate collagen and elastin | Fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, discoloration |
At KRIDO, microdermabrasion and dermaplaning are both available as standalone facials. Microneedling is also offered for clients focused on collagen stimulation and skin repair. If you are unsure which option fits your goals, the consultation will clarify it.
What to Expect During Your Microdermabrasion Session
Your first visit starts with a skin consultation. We look at your skin type, any current concerns and what you want to achieve. If microdermabrasion is the right choice, we move into the treatment.
The facial begins with a deep cleanse. The microdermabrasion exfoliation follows, targeting areas of dullness, roughness or uneven tone. Most clients find it comfortable, with a light scratching or buffing sensation. A nourishing Circadia mask is applied next, chosen for your skin’s needs. Then finishing serums, red light therapy and lymphatic drainage massage complete the session.
You can return to your day immediately. There is no downtime. Your skin may be slightly pink for an hour or two, but that fades quickly. Many clients notice smoother texture and brighter tone right away.
How Many Sessions and How Often
One microdermabrasion treatment delivers visible improvement in texture and glow. For ongoing skin health, we generally recommend a facial every four to six weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. If you are working on specific concerns like uneven texture, pigmentation or fine lines, your esthetician may suggest treatments every two weeks for a period of time to support faster, more consistent progress.
Your ideal schedule will be personalized at the consultation based on your skin goals and condition.

I had the absolute best experience at Krido Wellness!! I went in for a dermaplane and from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with open arms. I sat down with the owner, Kristina and she took the time to discuss my current skincare routine, what I’m struggling with and my goals. You could tell she really has such a passion for what she does and after learning more about her story, it was clear that her mission is to help people look and feel their best. The spa itself is very clean, professional, and has a calming atmosphere so you can truly relax. My aesthetician Amber was incredible!! She is so knowledgable and friendly and was so thorough with my treatment. She wasn’t pushing products on me, she just really wanted me to have the best possible experience. I literally couldn’t believe my skin afterward - had to do a double take in the mirror lol it was GLOWING, rejuvenated and felt amazing.

Frequently asked questions
What is microdermabrasion and how does it work?
Microdermabrasion uses a controlled flow of fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to gently buff away the top layer of dead skin. It is mechanical exfoliation, not chemical. The process removes keratin buildup and reveals fresher skin underneath, improving texture, tone and glow.
Does microdermabrasion hurt?
No. Most clients find microdermabrasion comfortable. You may feel a light scratching or buffing sensation as the device moves across your skin. The treatment is gentle and non-invasive. Your skin may be slightly pink for an hour or two afterward, but that fades quickly.
How is microdermabrasion different from dermaplaning?
Microdermabrasion uses crystals or a diamond tip to exfoliate. Dermaplaning uses a blade to remove dead skin and vellus hair. Both improve texture and glow. Dermaplaning also allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively and helps makeup apply more evenly. Your consultation will clarify which option fits your goals.
Can I get microdermabrasion if I have sensitive skin?
Microdermabrasion is generally safe for most skin types. If you have active rosacea, broken capillaries or very reactive skin, a gentler facial may be a better fit. We review your skin type and concerns at the consultation to confirm the right treatment for you.
How often should I get microdermabrasion?
For ongoing skin health, we generally recommend a facial every four to six weeks. If you are working on specific concerns like uneven texture or pigmentation, your esthetician may suggest treatments every two weeks for a period of time. Your ideal schedule will be personalized at the consultation.
What should I avoid after microdermabrasion?
Your skin may be slightly pink and more sensitive after treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants and active ingredients like retinol for 24 to 48 hours. Use gentle, hydrating skincare and apply sunscreen. Your esthetician will give you personalized aftercare guidance at your session.
