Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is safe for most skin types and ages when performed by trained professionals. We assess your skin during consultation to customize intensity. People with active rosacea, eczema, open wounds, or recent chemical peels may need alternative treatments.

Many clients see improvement after a single session, but optimal results often require a series of 4-6 treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every one to three months help preserve brightness and texture.

Most clients experience mild scratching or tingling during treatment; it's generally comfortable. Temporary redness or light swelling may last a few hours to a day. Follow aftercare recommendations and avoid sun exposure while skin recovers.

Microdermabrasion improves superficial acne scarring, dullness, and sunspots by removing surface layers. Deeper scars or pigmentation may require stronger resurfacing or combined therapies; we'll recommend the best plan during consultation.

Avoid heavy sun exposure, tanning beds, and strong topical retinoids or acids for at least one week before and after treatment. Skip waxing or aggressive exfoliation nearby. Use sunscreen and gentle skincare to protect new skin.

Avoid microdermabrasion with active skin infections, open wounds, recent radiation, severe cystic acne, or recent isotretinoin use. Pregnant clients should consult their provider. We'll review medical history to ensure safety and suitability.
