Preparation, After Care and Contraindications

Preparing for your Microdermabrasion appointment:

​​​​​

  • Wait 2 weeks after receiving Botox or fillers to get microdermabrasion.

  • IF you wax any part of your face (facial waxing is Not recommended), make sure to wax at least 1–2 weeks before your appointment. Waxing can remove some of your skin's outermost cells and aggravate your skin.​

  • 7 days before your appointment, avoid other cosmetic treatments to prevent your skin from being susceptible to irritation and damage.

  • 7 days before your appointment, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption so the treatment can be more effective and cause less down-time.

  • ​​5–7 days before your appointment, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, sauna and other sources of heat on your face.

  • 3–5 days before your appointment, avoid exfoliating your face with exfoliating cleansers or scrubs including retinoid products (products with tretinoin, adapalene or tazarotene as active ingredients), glycolic and salicylic acid and physical scrubs including Ultrasonic brushes. (Microdermabrasion is already an exfoliator. Exfoliating your face too much before your appointment can cause irritation).
