Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion Facial.

Microdermabrasion can be adapted for some sensitive skin, but we'll assess during consultation. Some conditions require gentler alternatives. Expect mild redness that subsides; follow post-care to minimize irritation and protect the skin while it heals.

Sessions typically last 45 to 75 minutes depending on skin needs. Time includes cleansing, targeted microdermabrasion passes, soothing mask, and product application. Your therapist will adjust duration for concerns like texture, pigmentation, and sensitivity.

Most clients feel mild abrasion pressure and slight warmth, but not significant pain. Sensations are brief and tolerable; we adjust intensity for comfort. Post-treatment skin may feel tight or sensitive, which calms within a few hours to a couple days.

A series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced two to four weeks apart is typical to build cumulative improvement. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 weeks keep skin smooth and radiant. Your esthetician will craft a plan based on your goals and skin response.

Common temporary effects include mild redness, sensitivity, and light flaking as the skin renews. Rarely, bruising or increased pigmentation can occur with improper aftercare. Avoid sun exposure, use SPF, and follow our post-care instructions to reduce risks.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to calm and absorb soothing products. If necessary, use mineral, non-comedogenic makeup and gentle application. Protect treated skin with sunscreen when outdoors.
