How Long Does it Take to Recover From a Microdermabrasion Treatment?
Your skin will be pink and feel dry, as if you’ve been sunburned for 24 hours, but there is no recovery time with microdermabrasion. Use moisturizer and sunscreen daily, and you can immediately return to your regular activities. Try to wait 24 hours to apply makeup and wait a few days before extensive sun exposure.
Most people do not require any downtime to recover after microdermabrasion. If you have any side effects, they will subside in a few days, and you will be ready for another session within a week.
How Long Does a Microdermabrasion Treatment Take?
The actual procedure itself takes on average 15-30 minutes. If you opt for a facial treatment on top of your microdermabrasion treatment, a face mask and massage can take around 60-90 minutes.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that gently removes the top layer of skin to even out skin tone, brighten the complexion, and eliminate acne scars. The procedure takes around 30 minutes and can be combined with other treatments. It is painless and may require several treatments to attain optimal results.
Who is an Ideal Microdermabrasion Candidate?
You are eligible for microdermabrasion if you are over 18 and looking to get rid of age spots, discoloration, sun damage, acne scars, minor wrinkles and lines, clogged pores, or to even out texture.
Microdermabrasion can also be effective for treating mild acne and rosacea.
If you have recently had a chemical peel or collagen injections, you must wait 1-2 weeks before partaking in a microdermabrasion treatment. It would be best if you also stopped tanning and waxing. You cannot receive microdermabrasion treatment if you have severe acne, are pregnant, have deep scars/wrinkles, lesions, warts, herpes, diabetes, or an autoimmune disorder.

What to Expect After a Microdermabrasion Treatment
After a microdermabrasion treatment, you may experience some temporary side effects like redness, a sunburned feeling, skin tightness, sensitivity, and bruising. It is a non-invasive, gentle procedure and a typical treatment plan ranges from 5-10 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart.
After your microdermabrasion treatment, you may experience immediate improvements, but optimal results cannot be seen until you complete all treatments in your plan.
Microdermabrasion Recovery & Timeline
There is no required downtime after receiving microdermabrasion treatments. You will experience some side effects and need to wait a few days before going into the sun and one day before applying makeup, but so long as you apply sunscreen, use a gentle face wash, and moisturize, you will recover quickly and be happy with your results once your treatment plan is over.
Also, avoid excess sweating/exercise during the first week of recovery, as it may affect your skin.
