Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

A Microdermabrasion session uses a stream of tiny crystals and suction to exfoliate the skin. Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes depending on area treated. It's non-invasive with minimal downtime, suitable for face, neck, and décolletage.

Most clients feel only mild abrasion or tingling; treatments are generally well tolerated. Redness or slight sensitivity may occur for a few hours, but normal activities can usually resume immediately with gentle skincare and SPF.

Many clients notice smoother, brighter skin after a single session, but a series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart yields more lasting improvement for texture, tone, and minor scarring.

Microdermabrasion can help improve superficial acne scars and mild hyperpigmentation by removing surface layers and encouraging cell turnover. Deeper scars or significant pigmentation may require combined treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser for optimal results.

Active acne with open lesions, rosacea flare-ups, eczema, or very thin, fragile skin may be unsuitable. A consultation will assess your skin and medical history to determine if microdermabrasion is safe, or recommend alternative treatments.

Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and strong acids for several days before treatment. Afterward, use gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid heavy makeup, direct sun exposure, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours to support healing and reduce irritation.
