Frequently Asked Questions

Is microdermabrasion painful?

No pain at allβ€”just a mild scratchy sensation and suction feeling. Most patients find it pleasant and relaxing. No numbing is needed.

How many sessions do I need?

4-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for best results. Skin texture and tone improve progressively with each treatment.

What skin concerns does it address?

Fine lines, sun damage, uneven skin tone, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, and general dullness. It's excellent for refreshing tired-looking skin.

Can all skin types have microdermabrasion?

Yes, it's suitable for all skin types and tones. The treatment intensity is adjusted based on your skin's sensitivity.

How long do results last?

Individual session results last 1-4 weeks. Monthly maintenance treatments help preserve long-term improvements in skin texture and radiance.

Can I wear makeup after?

Wait 24 hours to allow your skin to recover before applying makeup. Your skin will absorb products better after treatment.

What's the difference between microdermabrasion and chemical peels?

Microdermabrasion uses physical exfoliation (crystals or diamond tip), while chemical peels use acids. Both improve texture, but microdermabrasion has less downtime.

Are there any side effects?

Temporary redness and mild sensitivity are common but resolve quickly. Bruising is rare and usually only occurs with overly aggressive treatment.
