Microdermabrasion is a very safe and effective non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that is suitable for the treatment of almost every skin type and condition. The treatment involves a high-quality exfoliation treatment, which helps to remove all dead skin cells that have been sitting on the surface of the skin, clearing out the pores and allowing for any topical serums or creams to easily penetrate the skin to maximize their benefits as well. Microdermabrasion is effective and gentle enough to treat both coarse, scarred skin as well as sensitive, acne-prone skin, providing benefits including reducing the appearance of scars, age spots, and wrinkles. It is a great option for those who just want a non-invasive refresh, improving the overall tone and texture of their skin while stimulating increased collagen production to reveal healthy new skin cells for long-lasting results.
While most patients will be able to enjoy the beautiful results from their microdermabrasion treatments for around one month, it is recommended that patients follow all provided recommendations and instructions from the specialist who performed their microdermabrasion to take proper care of their skin, prolonging the results much longer. Those who have good skin conditions will be able to enjoy the results a bit longer, so following the tips below will help sustain the results to allow you to go a bit longer in between sessions.
• Maintaining a skincare routine consisting of gentle, good-quality products.
• Protect your skin from sun damage through the application of a face-safe strong SPF sunscreen, wearing hats, or avoiding direct sunlight altogether.
• Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol, and avoid smoking wherever possible.
• Drink plenty of water every day to maintain proper levels of hydration in your skin.
Since the microdermabrasion treatment involves extensive exfoliation on the surface of the skin, it is common to experience some sensitivity, redness, swelling, or even minor bruising for a few hours following the treatment. These side effects should be faced fairly quickly, although it is possible for those with more sensitive skin to experience sensitivity or tenderness for a couple of days, often resembling a sunburn. In most cases, patients will be able to return to work or any other regular activities without anyone else having an inkling that a procedure was completed. It is common to experience some sensitivity if using any toners, acne treatments, or medicated cleansers, often causing minor burning or stinging as the surface of the skin continues to heal, so you may wish to avoid these kinds of products for at least a day following your microdermabrasion treatment. Since your skin will be sensitive for a bit, it is very important that you apply plenty of SPF as frequently as recommended on the bottle to the treated skin whenever it may be exposed to direct sunlight to prevent incurring any sun damage while it is still healing, but this is a good rule to follow on a daily basis regardless of if your skin has recently been treated.
Immediately following your microdermabrasion appointment, the top layer of your skin will have been exfoliated, making it a bit more sensitive to any topical products or to becoming damaged. To avoid further damaging the surface of the skin, patients should avoid using any exfoliating sponges or scrubs or applying any products containing retinol and glycolic acids for at least 7 days. Vitamin C serums should also be avoided for about 2 days following a Microdermabrasion treatment. Since sunscreen tends to clog pores, it is recommended that patients just avoid exposing their skin to direct sunlight for at least two days so that they do not need to worry about sun damage and having to apply sunscreen. After those two days, sunscreen should be used whenever the skin is being exposed to direct sunlight. It is also common for some dead skin cells to continue flaking off from the skin, but it is very important that the dead skin falls off on its own and is not picked at or pulled off.
