Microdermabrasion FAQ
Q: How long do treatments take?
A: Microdermabrasion treatments usually require 30-45 minutes and may be performed at the initial consultation if prearranged
Q: Does microdermabrasion hurt?
A: Microdermabrasion does not hurt although it may sting a little around the eye area. The patient normally works up to a level as they go to increase the penetration to the skin. Your skin may feel a little hot and appear a little pink for the first day.
Q: Are there any contraindications for microdermabrasion?
A:
- Patients are asked to cease use of certain topical agents such as glycolic acids, alpha-hydroxy acids and Retin-A for a few days before microdermabrasion treatment.
- Patients who present with certain facial skin disorders may be advised not to pursue treatment, e.g. acne rosacea or even facial telangiectasia.
- If a patient experiences red streaking from the treatment because of over intense strokes or very sensitive skin, the patient should cease further treatments until the erythema has fully subsided.
- Patients with any signs of a sunburn should not be treated.
Other Considerations:
- Requires multiple sessions and maintenance treatments.
- Patients with good skin tone will show best results.
- An individualized skin care program may be recommended to maximize results.
