Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Most clients experience mild tingling or warmth; microdermabrasion is not typically painful. The diamond-tipped wand exfoliates gently and may cause temporary redness. Treatments usually last 30 to 45 minutes, and our estheticians ensure comfort and explain aftercare.

Many clients see noticeable smoothing after a single session, while optimal results for texture, sun damage, or scars often require a series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Customized plans are created during your consultation.

Microdermabrasion helps reduce mild acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines by resurfacing the skin, improving texture and tone. Deeper scarring or advanced pigmentation may respond better to combined therapies; your esthetician can recommend complementary treatments for best results.

Active acne with open lesions, rosacea flare-ups, recent chemical peels, certain skin cancers, or recent isotretinoin use make microdermabrasion unsuitable. Pregnant clients and those with bleeding disorders should consult their physician. We perform a thorough assessment to confirm candidacy.

Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and avoiding direct sun, exfoliants, or harsh products for at least 48 to 72 hours. Use soothing moisturizers and avoid hot baths or intense workouts the first day. Follow-up products and timing will be advised by your esthetician.

Most clients can apply light mineral makeup after 24 hours if the skin feels settled, but wait 48 hours for heavier or pore-clogging cosmetics. Always ensure products are non-comedogenic and avoid irritation; your esthetician will recommend timing based on your skin's sensitivity.
