Before Your Treatment
Pre-Care Tips:
- Limit exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds at least one week before your microdermabrasion treatment. Sunburned or overly sun-exposed skin can be more sensitive during the procedure.
- Stop using any retinoid-containing skincare products, such as retinol or tretinoin, for a few days before your microdermabrasion session. These products can increase skin sensitivity.
- Let your skincare provider know about any medications you are currently taking, including topical or oral medications. Some medications may affect your skin’s response to microdermabrasion.
- Refrain from waxing or using depilatory creams on the treatment area at least a week before your session. These hair removal methods can irritate the skin, and microdermabrasion may be uncomfortable on freshly waxed skin.
- Keep your skin well-hydrated by moisturizing regularly in the days leading up to your microdermabrasion appointment. Hydrated skin responds better to the treatment and heals more quickly.
- Avoid using abrasive exfoliants or scrubs in the week before microdermabrasion. Over-exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive, and the treatment itself provides thorough exfoliation.
- Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Hydration is key to achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects.
- Refrain from at-home microdermabrasion kits or aggressive skincare treatments in the days leading up to your professional session. Over-treating your skin may increase the risk of irritation.
- Steer clear of chemical peels, especially strong or harsh ones, in the week preceding your microdermabrasion appointment. Combining these treatments may lead to excessive skin sensitivity.
- On the day of your microdermabrasion, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. This ensures that the treatment area is free of any residues, allowing for a more effective and comfortable session.
