Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

Yes—Microdermabrasion is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin when performed gently. Our technicians customize intensity and tip choice. Tell us about rosacea, active breakouts, or recent procedures so we can adjust or recommend alternatives for your safety.

A typical session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes depending on treatment area and additional steps like extractions or serums. Consultations and aftercare take a little extra time, so plan for a 45–60 minute appointment overall.

Many clients notice immediate brightness and smoother texture within days. Optimal improvements appear after a series of treatments over several weeks. Results vary by skin condition; ongoing home care and sun protection extend benefits and maintain a refined complexion.

Microdermabrasion can reduce mild surface acne scars and smooth texture, but it's less effective on deep scarring or active inflammatory acne. We’ll assess your skin and may recommend combining treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or prescription options for better scar improvement.

Expect minimal downtime—temporary redness, mild sensitivity, or light flaking for 24–72 hours is normal. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and sun exposure immediately after treatment. We'll provide post-care instructions and recommend gentle products to speed recovery.

For most skin concerns, treatments every 2–4 weeks are recommended until desired results are achieved. Maintenance sessions every 4–8 weeks help sustain brightness and texture. Your technician will create a personalized schedule based on skin type and goals.
