Microdermabrasion Pre and Post Care
February 18 2022
It's been said that skincare is all about the skin. And that's true, especially for post-care skin. You need to be gentle on your skin after you've washed it, moisturized it, or treated it. But how do you get the most out of Microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is a gentle, controlled way to remove dead skin cells and debris from the top layer of your skin. Here is what to expect after a microdermabrasion treatment, how to prepare your skin for microdermabrasion, and tips on how to take care of your skin after the treatment.
What to Expect after Microdermabrasion Treatment
After the treatment, you'll notice that your skin feels tighter. This effect is due to microdermabrasion's exfoliating products, which smoothens, and tightens the skin veins, reducing lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion's abrasive particles slough off the dead skin cells. The hydrating serum applied after the treatment helps to re-sorb all the elements into the skin, making it softer. Microdermabrasion treats different skin conditions including light scarring, discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks.
How to Prepare for Microdermabrasion Treatment
Before the treatment, it is important to prepare your skin. Make sure that you have cleansed and exfoliated your skin ahead of time. You can use a pore cleansing mask a few days before the microdermabrasion treatment to make sure that the pores in your face are clean. You should also apply an anti-aging oil or serum before the microdermabrasion treatment. This will help minimize the redness and irritation that the treatment may cause.
Post Microdermabrasion Skincare Tips
Here are eight post-microdermabrasion skincare tips to help you keep your skin looking great:
• Apply a light, non-prescription skin moisturizer in the evening.
• Use an intensive anti-aging cream every night.
• Don't forget to use a potent acne treatment with benzoyl peroxide.
• If you're using a retinoid, use it nightly and be sure to follow the directions on the product.
• Use a face scrub about once a week to remove dead skin cells.
• Use an intense face cleanser that's been formulated for your skin type.
• Use a gentle facial exfoliate once every week or two.
• Use a mild, light-weight sunscreen every day.
