Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Your esthetician gently exfoliates the skin using a vacuum and tip or crystal-free tool, usually 30–45 minutes. You may feel mild abrasion and warmth, with immediate smoother texture and temporary redness that subsides within hours to a day.

We assess your skin first. Microdermabrasion can be adapted for sensitive or mild acne-prone skin with gentler settings, but it's not recommended for active cystic acne. Your esthetician will advise the safest approach during consultation.

Many clients notice immediate improvements after one session, but optimal results usually require a series of 4–6 treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Regular maintenance sessions help preserve smoother, brighter skin long term.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including light redness, increased sensitivity, and slight flaking. Avoid aggressive exfoliation and sun exposure afterward; contact us if irritation persists beyond a couple of days.

Yes—Microdermabrasion pairs well with hydrating masks and targeted serums. Some treatments like chemical peels or retinoid therapies require timing adjustments. We'll customize a safe, effective sequence during your consultation.

Use gentle cleansers and hydrating products, avoid active exfoliants for 48–72 hours, and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily. Skip hot baths, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours; follow any personalized aftercare your esthetician provides.
