Post - Microdermabrasion Instructions

To maximize microdermabrasion recovery time and results, it is important to follow all post-procedure instruction below:

• Use a gentle cleanser.

• Trauma such as scratching or picking the treated area should be avoided.

• It is important to avoid irritatig the treated skin with harsh chemicals, rubbing or tanning for one week.

• Although some peeling may occur in the treated areas, moisturizer should help minimize this effect.

• Avoid staying in the sun for at least 7 days after the microdermabrasio treatment to prevent UV rays from damaging your skin which slows down the recovery.

• Patients who absolutely cannot avoid sun exposure should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

• Do not use glycolic, alpha hydroxy, beta hydroxy, retinol, benzyl peroxide or topical acne medicatios for 24-48 hours following treatment.
