Microdermabrasion Aftercare

• Your skin may feel warm and tingling or sting like sunburn for one to three hours after the treatment; rarely, this may persist for several days. A cool cloth will help reduce this sensation as well as the redness and or swelling that may be present.

• Avoid direct unprotected sun exposure, including tanning beds for two weeks after your treatment and use an SPF 30 sunblock.

• Avoid overheating such as intense workouts, hot showers, hot tubs, etc. for 24 hours following your treatment.

• Only use cleanser this evening and resume your usual skincare regimen tomorrow (including tretinoin).  If you are on effective Vitamin C product, you may use this as well tonight after cleansing.

• Depending on the aggressiveness of your treatment, you may see tiny pinpoint red ‘dots’. This is normal and will resolve within several days and may be covered with make-up. You may also experience some light flaking.

• Best results are seen with multiple visits, done in a series. You may notice some immediate effects after just one treatment but typically several are necessary.  Results will vary and are more apparent when combined with a skincare product regimen and other treatments like BOTOX®, dermal fillers, and laser facials.

• Treatments are typically spaced 3-4 weeks apart for 6 to 8 treatments.   Maintenance treatments should be done two to three times per year.

• If you are concerned about a reaction of some kind or experience any symptoms beyond those anticipated, please call the office at 2013404809.
