Microdermabrasion

aftercare & what to expect

Your skin might feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal. Your skin may become tight, dry and may even peel or flake slightly.
You may experience rough texture or “rug burn” in certain areas. These areas must be kept moist with an ointment like Aquaphor or Sanitas Topical C in order to heal faster.
After your microderm treatment you may experience a small break-out which should clear-up quickly.
A mild moisturizer is your single most important tool for the next few days. Be consistent and be generous—it will help your skin recover more quickly.
If you are prone to getting cold sores, be sure to take your antiviral medication prior to appointment.

THINGS TO DO & NOT TO DO

Keep your skincare routine basic for the next few days.
Focus on products and ingredients that hydrate and soothe.
Avoid ingredients that have exfoliating properties. If in doubt, put it aside for a few days.
Use sunscreen generously and avoid as much direct sun exposure as possible.
Protecting those fresh, new skin cells from the sun's rays is an absolute must.
Avoid treatments like laser, waxing, shaving, or dermaplaning.
Don't use anything exfoliating or aggressive. Avoid active ingredients like prescription topicals, AHAs/BHAs, Retinol, and others for a few days.
Skip saunas, steam rooms and sweaty workouts on the same day of your microderm.
