Frequently asked questions about Microdermabrasion treatments
Is microdermabrasion painful?
Microdermabrasion is not painful; however, some mild discomfort may be felt when the treatment is addressing particular skin issues or when the intensity is increased for deeper exfoliation. Most clients describe it as a slight scratching or vibrating sensation.
Is there any downtime with microdermabrasion?
There is minimal downtime with microdermabrasion. The skin may feel slightly sensitive or appear mildly red for up to 24 hours afterwards, but this typically subsides quickly. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
