Microdermabrasion Cost 2026: $199 Per Session Price Guide
At LeVogue Med Spa, microdermabrasion costs $199 per session. Four sessions would total $796, and six sessions would total $1,194 before any applicable savings or changes to the treatment plan. Those multi-session totals are simple calculations, not advertised package prices.
Your final cost can vary if your plan includes a different treatment area, added services, or a different number of sessions. If you are pricing microdermabrasion, that personalized plan is what your free consultation is built to define.
LeVogue offers free consultations for any treatment, so you can discuss your goals, likely number of sessions, and expected treatment cost before booking. A $50 discount is also available for eligible treatments.
What Affects the Cost of Microdermabrasion?
The total cost of microdermabrasion can change based on the treatment area, treatment method, provider, number of sessions, and any additional services included in the appointment.
Treatment area: A facial treatment may be priced differently from treatment of the neck, chest, back, hands, or another area. A larger area can require more treatment time.
Number of sessions: One visit may be enough for someone who wants light surface exfoliation before an event, while another person may follow a series. Because each LeVogue session is $199, the number of visits has a direct effect on the total treatment cost.
Diamond-tip versus crystal microdermabrasion: Both methods exfoliate the surface of the skin, but they use different equipment. Current national pricing data from CareCredit show higher average prices for diamond microdermabrasion than crystal microdermabrasion, although individual providers set their own fees.
Provider and location: Training, experience, treatment time, and geographic market can affect pricing. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons also identifies provider qualifications, procedure type, time and effort, and office location as factors that may influence cost.
Added services: Masks, specialty skincare, hydration treatments, or other services may change the total if they are added to the appointment. Compare the complete treatment rather than assuming that two services with the same name include the same steps. For a more nourishing option, a hydrating microdermabrasion facial pairs surface exfoliation with added hydration in a single visit.
Is $199 a Typical Microdermabrasion Price?
Yes, $199 falls within a current national price range reported for individual microdermabrasion sessions, but national estimates should be used as context rather than as a quote for your appointment.
A 2025 CareCredit cost guide reports a national session range of $127 to $400. Its data lists an average of $164 for crystal microdermabrasion and $213 for diamond microdermabrasion. That makes LeVogue's verified $199 session price easy to compare with current third-party pricing data.
You may also see a much higher number from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Its current microdermabrasion cost page reports $1,829 as the average cost of “skin resurfacing procedures like microdermabrasion.” Because that statistic covers a broader skin-resurfacing category, it should not be treated as the typical price of one routine microdermabrasion facial.
The best comparison is not simply the lowest advertised number. Look at the treatment area, method, provider qualifications, appointment scope, and whether anything you want is priced separately. If you are planning a series, financing options that spread payments over time can make the total easier to manage.
How Many Microdermabrasion Sessions Might You Pay For?
Some people choose one microdermabrasion session, while others receive a series based on their skin concern, response, and treatment goals.
The American Academy of Dermatology notes that many patients need a series to see their desired results. For signs of aging, treatment may be performed weekly, every two weeks, or monthly, and the AAD describes a broad range of five to 16 treatments in that context. That does not mean every person needs five or more sessions.
At LeVogue's $199 session price, examples are straightforward:
1 session: $199
4 sessions: $796
6 sessions: $1,194
A treatment plan should be based on your skin and goals rather than on a preset number of visits. During a free consultation, ask what each recommended session is intended to address, how far apart visits may be spaced, and when your progress will be reassessed.
What Should a Microdermabrasion Price Include?
A useful microdermabrasion quote should make clear what area is being treated, which method is being used, and whether any products or additional services carry a separate charge.
A typical professional appointment involves cleansing or preparing the skin, controlled exfoliation with a handheld microdermabrasion device, removal of loosened surface debris, and post-treatment skincare. The exact protocol can vary by provider and device. The AAD describes treatment with a handheld device followed by moisturizer, while clinical references describe both crystal and crystal-free systems.
Before comparing two prices, clarify:
Which treatment area is included?
Is the treatment diamond-tip or crystal-based?
How long is the appointment?
What post-treatment products are included?
Are any suggested add-ons priced separately?
Is the quoted amount for one visit or a treatment series?
The American Academy of Dermatology reports that treating the full face takes about 30 to 40 minutes, although the complete appointment can be longer when consultation, preparation, or other services are included.
What Does Microdermabrasion Actually Do?
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive surface-exfoliation procedure that removes cells from the uppermost layer of the skin with a handheld device.
Crystal systems propel fine abrasive particles across the skin and use suction to collect the crystals and loosened skin cells. Crystal-free systems use an abrasive diamond-tipped handpiece instead. The treatment acts mainly at the skin's surface rather than deeply resurfacing tissue.
Microdermabrasion may help make mild surface concerns such as dull or uneven texture, uneven tone, fine lines, blackheads, enlarged-looking pores, sun-related changes, and mild acne marks or scars less noticeable. It is not a substitute for procedures designed to treat deep acne scars or deeper structural skin concerns.
What Are the Side Effects and Downtime After Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion usually requires little or no formal recovery time, but temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, sensitivity, stinging, or bruising can occur.
The AAD says some people develop pink or red skin and slight swelling that can feel similar to a mild sunburn or windburn for a day or two. StatPearls also lists tenderness, redness, swelling, small pinpoint spots of bleeding under the skin, and bruising among possible effects.
Skin may also be more sensitive to sun exposure for a short time after treatment. Follow the aftercare instructions you receive, use appropriate sun protection, and avoid assuming that “no downtime” means the skin will look or feel completely unchanged immediately afterward.
If you develop a reaction that is severe, worsening, unusual, or concerning, contact an appropriate healthcare professional.
Who Should Talk With a Healthcare Professional Before Microdermabrasion?
People with certain skin or medical factors should discuss microdermabrasion with a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist before treatment.
The American Academy of Dermatology advises seeing a dermatologist first if you have a mole or other skin spot that is growing, bleeding, or changing, if you have recently taken isotretinoin for severe acne, or if your skin scars easily.
Medical references also list active skin infections, including active herpes simplex, as reasons not to treat the affected area. A history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring may require extra caution, and rosacea or visible small blood vessels can be relative contraindications.
Tell your provider about your current medicines, recent cosmetic procedures, history of cold sores, skin conditions, allergies, and any previous problems with scarring or pigmentation. A consultation can help determine whether microdermabrasion is appropriate or whether another approach better matches your concern. Reviewing whether you are a good candidate can help you decide if the treatment fits your skin before you plan the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Insurance Cover Microdermabrasion?
Insurance usually does not cover microdermabrasion when it is performed only for cosmetic improvement. The AAD notes that insurance does not cover treatments used to reduce signs of aging or improve appearance, but coverage rules vary, so contact your insurer if you have questions about your plan.
Is Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion More Expensive Than Crystal Microdermabrasion?
Diamond-tip microdermabrasion can cost more, but the difference is not universal. CareCredit's current national pricing data show a higher average for diamond treatment than crystal treatment, while actual provider prices still vary with location, treatment area, and appointment scope.
Does Microdermabrasion Hurt?
Microdermabrasion is usually not painful, although you may feel scratching, suction, stinging, or vibration during treatment. The AAD describes a sanding sensation without pain, and Cleveland Clinic notes that scratching, stinging, sucking, or vibrating sensations can occur. For more detail, the American Academy of Dermatology describes the sanding sensation and what to expect during a session.
Can Microdermabrasion Help Acne Scars?
Microdermabrasion may make mild or superficial acne scars less noticeable, but it is not designed to correct deep acne scarring. Cleveland Clinic includes mild acne scars among concerns that may improve, so deeper scars may require a different treatment approach after professional evaluation. The American Academy of Dermatology answers common microdermabrasion questions, including what surface concerns the treatment is best suited to improve.
Is Microdermabrasion the Same as Dermabrasion?
No, microdermabrasion and dermabrasion are different procedures. Microdermabrasion is a gentler surface exfoliation with minimal downtime, while dermabrasion is a more intensive resurfacing procedure that removes deeper layers of skin and requires a more significant recovery period.
