Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion addresses surface concerns like dullness, mild scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven texture. It's suitable for most skin types but not for active acne, rosacea flare-ups, or severely thin/translucent skin; our estheticians will assess suitability during consultation.

Most clients see improvement after 1–3 treatments, with optimal results achieved through a series of 4–6 sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. Ongoing maintenance sessions every few months help preserve smoothness and brightness.

Most clients experience a mild scratching sensation during treatment and slight redness for a few hours. There's minimal discomfort and no downtime for most people; avoid heavy sun exposure and use SPF while skin is renewing for a week or so.

Yes. Active acne cysts, rosacea flares, open wounds, recent chemical peels, uncontrolled diabetes, or recent isotretinoin use are common contraindications. We conduct a pre-treatment assessment to ensure safety and suggest alternative options if Microdermabrasion isn't appropriate.

Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and strong active ingredients for a few days before and after treatment. Use gentle cleanser, hydrating serums, broad-spectrum SPF daily, and avoid sun exposure and heavy makeup for 24–48 hours. Follow post-care instructions for best results.
