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.
