What can I expect and what should I do after?

While there is no downtime, the treated area may be slightly pink and feel dry and tight for about 24 hours. Your new layer of skin is more receptive to moisture and will need more moisturizer than normal to aid in the healing process. Failing to moisturize your skin can result in issues like dull patches or cracked, flaking skin. Moisturize your skin in the morning, at night, and throughout the day as needed if it begins to feel dry. Avoid exfoliating products for 5 days, try to stay out of the sun for at least 3 days and remember to wear sunscreen.

How many treatments will I need?

Many clients see improvements in the tone, texture, and colour of treated areas after just one treatment. Since skin naturally resurfaces itself about once a month, you may choose to start with weekly treatments for 3 sessions to clear up the skin, and then switch to a monthly maintenance regimen for long-lasting results. This treatment can be added on to any facials or as a quick in and out treatment.

Who is this NOT for?

This service is not recommended for those who have active rosacea, open acne lesions, cold sore breakout (if you are prone to breaking out, this might reactivate the virus), using any retinoids, sunburnt skin or freshly waxed skin. Also, since your skin is extra sensitive, microdermabrasion is not recommended for women who are pregnant.
