How it fits your treatment
Add-On Microdermabrasion is performed as an extra step at the start of the service you already booked, resurfacing the surface layer so subsequent products and steps meet skin that can absorb them. Because it precedes your scheduled treatment, your appointment’s primary protocol continues after this preparatory phase without changing the overall plan.
This add-on is described as taking a few extra minutes, and the therapist uses that time to clear buildup on the outermost skin. Clearing the surface first reshapes how the rest of your appointment works—products applied afterward are more likely to contact fresh skin rather than sitting on a blocked surface.
What you will feel
During the microdermabrasion step you may notice a gentle resurfacing sensation as the therapist smooths the skin’s surface. The experience is brief and focused on the area being treated; the practitioner monitors skin response and adjusts intensity so the rest of your scheduled service can proceed comfortably.
After the resurfacing you can expect a smoother finish as your regular treatments and products are applied. Some clients notice temporary redness or sensitivity; staff will advise on aftercare and on timing appointments around outdoor plans given Fircrest’s mild, variable weather.
Deciding to add it now
This add-on suits clients who want a cleaner surface before the main treatment—people preparing for an event, commuters stopping by before work, or locals pairing appointments with outings to Chambers Bay or Point Defiance. It’s a compact option for those seeking a more noticeable finish without booking an entirely separate facial.
When booking in Fircrest, tell us about recent sun exposure, active skin concerns, or recent in-office procedures so we can advise whether the add-on is appropriate. The add-on cost is $50 and appointments are often timed for early mornings, evenings, or weekends to fit local schedules.
