Microdermabrasion FAQ

During microdermabrasion, your esthetician uses a handheld device that gently removes the top layer of skin. You may feel a sanding sensation, but this is not painful.

What can microdermabrasion do for me?

Microdermabrasion helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, fight acne and remove acne scarring, even skin tone, diminish white and black heads, minimize large pores and revitalize dull skin. Microdermabrasion helps skin regeneration by increasing its elasticity and collagen production. The skin looks fresh and feels smooth as soon as treatment is over. With micro abrasion, there is no recovery time and no discomfort.

How do I prepare for my microdermabrasion?

Discontinue use of any and all exfoliating agents 7 days prior to your MDA. Do not wax the week prior to microdermabrasion and do not smoke. Discontinue use of NSAIDS 7 days prior to service. Avoid contact with the sun for 7-14 days prior to treatment. Avoid scheduling an appointment if you are red or burned for 14 days.

Who is not a candidate for microdermabrasion?

Clients with any of the following conditions should not receive MDA: active rosacea, fragile capillaries or vascular lesions, active onset acne (acne pustules), warts, uncontrolled diabetes, open sores, active herpes outbreak or susceptibility to breakouts.

If you are/were on Accutane you must wait 6-12 months before a microdermabrasion.
