MICRODERMABRASION AFTERCARE

Microdermabrasion aftercare is an essential part of your microdermabrasion program.

Your aftercare program should include an SPF30 moisturizing product, a pH balancing cleanser, and a clinical strength range of Vitamin A or AHA products. Ask your practitioner for recommendations.

In addition, we've prepared the following list of pre- and post-treatment recommendations:


1. Before Microdermabrasion

• Don't undertake any invasive cosmetic procedures prior to a deep microdermabrasion treatment, unless advised by your practitioner.
  
  
• Avoid sun baking for a few days before your microdermabrasion treatment.
  
  
• Don't wax any part of your face for 2 days prior to your session. The same applies to any part of the body that will be treated in the session.
  

• Don't sun bake or use sun beds for 7 days. Sunscreen is a must whenever you are exposed to the sun, so apply a high protection 30+ SPF sunblock cream or lotion.
  
  
• Don't swim in chlorinated pools for 24 hrs. Some clients prefer to wait a week.
  
  
• Don't wax for at least 7 days.
  
  
• Don't do any exercise for 24 hrs. Perspiration may cause a stinging sensation on your skin and induce a marked flush.
  
  If you do notice a red flush to your skin, rest assured that this will dissipate in a few hours.
  
  
• Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours. If possible, leave the skin clean and fresh for the remainder of the day.
  
  
• Don't exfoliate (scrub) the treated skin for 7 days.
  
  
• Microdermabrasion can be a dehydrating procedure so your skin may feel dry and tight, and you may experience some flaking. Be sure to thoroughly cleanse and moisturize every day.
  

Your treatments have the potential to totally transform the appearance of your skin, so don't sabotage your investment by ignoring these microdermabrasion aftercare precautions. A little diligence will pay big dividends.
