Recovering from Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion Overview Recovery Possible Complications	Frequent Questions Before & After Photos $50 Consultation Certificate

Immediately after a Microdermabrasion treatment you should notice an improvement in the smoothness and texture of your skin. The appearance of age spots, freckles, fine lines and wrinkles will be reduced, and acne scars will be less noticeable.

There is very little recovery time needed after Microdermabrasion. Some patients may experience minor redness and/or dryness in their skin for about a day after the procedure. Your treatment area may feel slightly sunburned or windburned after the procedure, but this should last only a few hours.

Our Aesthetician will recommend a moisturizer to use after your treatment. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun after microdermabrasion, so please wear a high-quality sunscreen with a SPF 15 minimum. Remember that exposure to the sun accelerates skin aging and can counteract the benefits of microdermabrasion!

You should avoid Alpha-Hydroxy Acid, Glycolic Acid products and skin exfoliation scrubs 3-days before and 3-days after a treatment. We discourage the use of full face make-up, such as liquid foundations or pressed powder foundations for 24 hours after a treatment. Eye make-up and lipstick can be applied immediately after a treatment.
