Smooth, radiant skin is one of the most universal signs of a healthy, well-cared-for complexion—and at Chesapeake Vein Center & MedSpa in Chesapeake, Virginia, microdermabrasion is one of our most-loved treatments for achieving exactly that. This gentle, non-invasive exfoliation polishes away dull surface cells, refines pores, and reveals the fresh, luminous skin hiding underneath. Whether you’re prepping for a special occasion or building a consistent skincare routine, microdermabrasion delivers visible results with zero downtime.
Our practice is led by board-certified surgeon and ABVLM-certified physician Dr. Surya Challa, who has proudly served the Chesapeake and Virginia Beach communities since 2007. Unlike many medical spas that are simply “overseen” by an off-site medical director, our medspa treatments are performed under the direct supervision of an actively practicing physician. Our licensed aestheticians are trained in advanced skincare protocols and use only medical-grade equipment, ensuring every microdermabrasion session is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique skin.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) using a specialized device. Removing this buildup stimulates cell turnover, encourages collagen production, and reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath. It is safe for most skin types and tones and requires no anesthesia or recovery time, making it one of the most accessible professional skin treatments available.
How Does Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion Work?
Here at Chesapeake Vein Center & MedSpa, we proudly provide diamond-tip microdermabrasion to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin cells and reveal a smoother texture and radiance. A wand fitted with a diamond-coated tip glides across the skin while a vacuum simultaneously suctions away loosened debris. The result is an immediately refreshed appearance and skin that feels noticeably softer to the touch.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Each session begins with a thorough cleanse, followed by the microdermabrasion treatment itself, which typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild scratching or gentle vibration. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly pink—similar to a light sunburn—but this fades within a few hours. You can return to your normal activities immediately, though we recommend wearing sunscreen and avoiding harsh skincare ingredients for 24 to 48 hours.
Pairing Microdermabrasion With Other Treatments
Microdermabrasion is a wonderful treatment to receive before chemical peels or another professional skin treatment because it creates a smooth canvas and primes the skin for optimal absorption of medical-grade ingredients and enhanced results. For best outcomes, we generally recommend a series of treatments spaced two to four weeks apart.
