Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is safe for many skin types, including normal, oily, and combination skin. Sensitive or rosacea-prone skin may need a patch test or gentler settings. Our therapists consult beforehand to tailor intensity and ensure the best, safest outcome for your needs.

Many clients notice immediate clarity after one treatment, but optimal results typically require a series of 4-6 sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. Your therapist will recommend a personalized plan based on concerns like scarring, pigmentation, and skin sensitivity.

Most clients experience mild abrasion-like sensations during treatment but no significant pain. Expect slight redness or tenderness for a few hours to a day. There is minimal downtime, so avoid heavy sun exposure and use SPF while skin regenerates for several days.

Microdermabrasion can reduce the appearance of superficial acne scarring and texture irregularities by promoting cell turnover. Deeper scars may require more intensive treatments like chemical peels or microneedling. We'll assess your skin and recommend the most effective combined approach.

Avoid retinoids, strong exfoliants, or sun exposure for a week before treatment. Afterward, keep skin hydrated, apply broad-spectrum SPF, and skip harsh products for several days. Follow any specific home-care steps your therapist provides to maximize results and healing.

Side effects are generally mild: temporary redness, sensitivity, or slight flaking. Avoid if you have active acne cysts, open wounds, recent retinoid use, or certain skin conditions. A consultation and skin assessment ensure safety; follow pre-screening guidelines to reduce risks.
