After Care
Microdermabrasion After Care
What To Do After Face Microdermabrasion Treatment: First, it's important to remember that any skin resurfacing procedure is somewhat invasive (but so is the regular facial scrub you use at home) and your skin needs some time to recover. The top skin layers have just been removed and your face simply reacts back.
Facial redness after each abrasion is normal (the redness should fade in a few hours) and so is some itchiness and a mild sunburn sensation (which can last up to two days afterwards).
Do these next 4 things to avoid complications and speed up your skin's recovery:
1 Cleanse your face immediately after treatment with a wet cloth and rehydrating toner to remove any dead skin cells left behind. This will be done by your tech.
2 Once the skin has dried completely, apply a rich moisturizer. Use moisturizer for 4-6 days after microdermabrasion to avoid excessive peeling.
3 Don't forget to use sunscreen every time you go out (even if it's an overcast day) because microdermabrasion increases photosensitivity.
4 Avoid staying in the sun for 7 days after microdermabrasion to prevent UV rays from damaging your skin (which slows down the recovery).
Facial redness and itchiness are mainly after-effects. Use moisturizer and high SPF sunscreen which helps to soothe the skin and speed up recovery.
Facial Makeup After Microdermabrasion
Avoid using any type of liquid or powder foundation (or any other type of cover up, for that matter) for the first 2-3 days after microdermabrasion. Eye makeup and lipstick are allowed (any red marks usually fade after a few hours).
