Microdermabrasion Treatment

What Should I Expect after Microdermabrasion Treatment?

After microdermabrasion, your skin will feel smooth and soft. Due to the increase in circulation, a mild and temporary blushed appearance is normal. After a few sessions, acne scarring and fine lines minimize while your skin pigmentation evens out. Most patients do require more than one treatment to realize significant improvements, often four to twelve. Your aesthetician will discuss the treatment plan at your initial consultation, and microdermabrasion sessions in Scottsdale can be scheduled one to three weeks apart.

What Does a Microdermabrasion Treatment Treatment Consist of?

Microdermabrasion is an outpatient procedure that is only minimally disruptive to your normal routine. Therefore, the pre-treatment instructions are minimal. To prepare for your microdermabrasion treatment at Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale, avoid tanning for at least a week before your appointment. Do not use Retin-A or other exfoliating creams for at least three days prior to your treatment. Most skin procedures including chemical peels and collagen injections, should be avoided for a few weeks before your appointment. Eat and drink as normal the day of your procedure, and wash your face before coming to your appointment.

Your microdermabrasion procedure will take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. Plan to arrive at our facility about 15 minutes before the procedure to fill out any last minute paperwork and get any final questions answered. One of our highly experienced medical aestheticians will perform the procedure and review the post-treatment instructions. The treatments are not uncomfortable, and most patients only experience a warm and tingling sensation after the procedure is complete. Clinical facials are often combined with microdermabrasion to enhance results.

Post-treatment, you can return home or to work as soon as you are ready. Expect your skin to have a slightly blushed tone. Some peeling is also normal, but it can be minimized with moisturizer. Do not tan or use any harsh chemicals or exfoliating products on your skin for at least a week. If you cannot avoid sun exposure, use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above. Avoid scratching, picking or itching the treated area to prevent infection. Ice packs and anti-inflammatory creams may be used as necessary.
