Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion Facial.

Most clients feel only mild tingling or a gentle abrasion during treatment. It’s well tolerated and usually requires no numbing. Your esthetician adjusts intensity for comfort, ensuring effective exfoliation with minimal discomfort and no prolonged pain afterward.

Number of sessions depends on individual concerns. Many see visible improvement after one treatment, while pigmentation or melasma often respond best to a series of four to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart for cumulative improvement.

Microdermabrasion can lighten age spots and some hyperpigmentation by removing surface pigment, but melasma is complex and may need combination treatments like topical agents, chemical peels, or laser. Consultation ensures the safest, most effective plan for your pigmentation concerns.

Aftercare is simple: cleanse gently, apply soothing moisturizer, and use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids and direct sun exposure for several days. Makeup can be applied after 24 hours unless advised otherwise.

This treatment is safe for most skin types when performed by a trained professional. Those with active acne, open wounds, recent isotretinoin use, or certain skin conditions should skip treatment until cleared by a provider.

Many clients notice immediate brightness, smoother texture and reduced roughness right after one session. Pigment reduction and lasting improvements accumulate over multiple treatments, with optimal results often visible after a recommended series.
