BelaMD Treatment Goals
What BelaMD Treats
Dull Skin and Rough Texture
Diamond-tip exfoliation removes dead skin cells and surface roughness, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion immediately after treatment.
Treatments+
BelaMD's diamond tip lifts away dull, dead surface cells, then infuses a serum into the freshly exfoliated skin in the same pass, so you leave smoother and brighter the same day.
Causes+
Dead cells build up faster than skin sheds them as turnover slows with age, scattering light and leaving a rough, tired finish.
BelaMD Results
What to expect, from your appointment through to peak results
During Treatment
Day 1 · zero downtime
Diamond-tip exfoliation runs alongside gentle suction for a comfortable, refreshing session that takes 30 to 45 minutes. Skin looks smoother and brighter as soon as you leave. Any mild redness in sensitive skin settles within about an hour.
Immediately After
Week 1 · settling and glow
Over the first several days the skin continues to refine as surface cells turn over. Texture feels smoother, congestion looks reduced, and your home skincare absorbs more efficiently into the freshly prepared skin. Daily SPF matters this week, since resurfaced skin is more sensitive to sun.
Days After
Peak Results · over a series
More meaningful improvements in tone, clarity, and superficial pigmentation build over a series of four to six monthly sessions as exfoliation compounds. Monthly maintenance after that holds the result. Your practitioner paces each visit to what your skin can comfortably tolerate.

FAQ

Answered by Victoria
Everything you need to know about BelaMD microdermabrasion at Victoria Rose Aesthetics.
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical resurfacing treatment that exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin to reveal smoother, brighter, more evenly textured skin underneath. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, we use the Health Canada-approved BelaMD device, which pairs a diamond-tip handpiece with simultaneous vacuum suction and serum infusion in one pass. The diamond tip lifts away surface congestion and dulling cells, while a targeted serum (hydrating, brightening, or clarifying based on your skin) is pressed into the freshly prepared skin for deeper absorption. The treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes and has zero downtime. It suits most skin types and is a strong choice between higher-intensity resurfacing sessions.
Microdermabrasion physically removes the dulling layer of dead skin on the surface, which softens texture, reduces the look of blackheads and clogged pores, evens superficial pigmentation, and helps the skin reflect light more cleanly. With the BelaMD platform we use in Pickering, the treatment also draws out pore congestion through vacuum suction and presses a targeted serum into the freshly exfoliated skin for hydration, brightening, or clarifying support. Over a series, BelaMD encourages healthier cell turnover and improves how well your home skincare absorbs. Your practitioner selects the diamond tip and serum based on your skin type and concerns, so results address what your skin actually needs that session.
Yes, microdermabrasion works for the concerns it is designed to address: dull surface texture, mild congestion and blackheads, superficial pigmentation, and rough or uneven skin tone. Visible smoothness and glow typically show after a single session, while improvements in tone and clarity build over a series of 4 to 6 monthly treatments. Our BelaMD platform adds vacuum suction and serum infusion to the diamond-tip exfoliation, so the skin is decongested and replenished in the same visit. Microdermabrasion is not the right tool for deep wrinkles, deep acne scars, or significant laxity, and your practitioner will tell you honestly whether a different modality would suit your goals better.
No, microdermabrasion is not a painful treatment. Most patients describe the BelaMD handpiece as a gentle scratching or sandpaper-like sensation paired with a mild suction pull. It is comfortable enough that no numbing cream is needed and you can read or relax through the session. Sensitive areas like around the nose can feel slightly stronger, and your practitioner adjusts the diamond tip and suction intensity throughout to keep you comfortable. Afterward, the skin may look mildly pink for under an hour and can feel a little tight before the finishing moisturizer and SPF are applied. There is no lingering discomfort and no downtime.
No. BelaMD microdermabrasion has zero downtime. Mild redness resolves within an hour for most patients, and you can return to work or social plans the same day. Resurfaced skin is more sensitive to sun, so daily SPF matters in the week after your treatment.
Most patients start with a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced about a month apart to address texture and superficial pigmentation, then move to monthly maintenance to hold the result. Your practitioner paces each visit to what your skin can comfortably tolerate.
They treat different layers of the skin and suit different concerns. Microdermabrasion mechanically removes the surface layer of dead skin and works well for dull texture, mild congestion, blackheads, and superficial dullness, with zero downtime. A chemical peel uses acid chemistry (glycolic, lactic, salicylic, or TCA) to reach deeper, addressing pigmentation, melasma, fine lines, and more significant scarring, often with some peeling and recovery. The two are complementary, and we often recommend alternating between them. A consultation lets us match the right modality, or combination, to your skin.
Microdermabrasion is most effective for superficial texture and very mild scarring. For deeper or pitted acne scars, RF microneedling or Fotona laser will give you meaningfully better results, and your practitioner will point you to the right option at consultation.
Not typically. These treatments work on the same skin barrier, and combining them on the same day can over-sensitize the skin. We schedule them on alternating visits so your skin recovers properly between sessions.
Yes, microdermabrasion is a safe in-clinic treatment when performed by a trained provider on appropriate skin. The BelaMD platform we use in Pickering is Health Canada-approved and works at the surface layer of the skin, so risks of scarring or pigmentation change are very low. The most common side effects are short-lived mild redness, light flaking, or temporary sensitivity. Your practitioner reviews your skin history, current actives like retinoids or acids, and any recent in-clinic treatments before each session, and will defer the appointment if your skin barrier is compromised or BelaMD is not appropriate that day.
