Microdermabrasion FAQs

What is microdermabrasion?

It is a minimal to full epidermal laser peel that precisely removes the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is individually tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected:

  • Wrinkles
  • Scars
  • Keratoses (pre-cancerous lesions)
  • Pigmentation problems
  • Overall sun damage

One procedure could be sufficient for at least 6 to12 months, but additional procedures can be performed as required. A package of three to four treatments may be best for you.

Smoother, healthier more vibrant skin. You will notice a significant and immediate change in skin texture and tightness.

A topical anesthetic is applied 45-60 minutes before the procedure. This makes the procedure virtually painless.

No! Microdermabrasion is NOT like a CO2 or deep chemical peel and requires nothing more than a protective ointment such as Aquafore or Vaseline. This is used as a barrier to keep the air away from your skin while you grow new epithelium (like baby skin cells). You will probably use it for one to two days. After that, a moisturizer can be used.

The healing process varies from patient to patient but will generally take from two to four days. The procedure can be performed on Thursday or Friday and you can return to work the following Monday. Immediately following the procedure you will feel as if you have a bad sunburn. You will have minor sloughing and itchiness the following day. By day two, redness will begin to fade and by day three any redness can be easily covered by makeup.
