Process:
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that mechanically removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells using a diamond-tip wand combined with suction. This stimulates collagen production and improves blood flow, resulting in smoother texture, refined pores, and enhanced skin brightness. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes.

Pre-Treatment Precautions:

• Avoid retinoids for at least 5 days before treatment.
• Do not wax or use chemical peels one week prior.
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks.
• Inform your provider of any skin conditions such as rosacea or recent isotretinoin use.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Mild redness and a “sandpaper” feel may last up to 24 hours.
• Use gentle moisturizers and sunscreen daily.
• Avoid abrasive scrubs and active exfoliants for at least a week.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent pigmentation.

Pros:

• Immediate improvement in skin texture and tone.
• Affordable and widely available.
• Minimal discomfort with no downtime.

Cons:

• Cannot treat deep acne scars or significant pigmentation alone.
• Multiple sessions required for cumulative effects.
• Temporary redness may occur.
