How long do Microdermabrasion results last?

Can I wear makeup after Microdermabrasion?

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

How much does microdermabrasion cost?

Typically $75 to $200 per session depending on the city and whether it is bundled with a facial. Most clinics sell a series of four to six at a per-session discount, which is how it is meant to be used; a single session is a pleasant refresh, a series changes the skin.

Microdermabrasion or HydraFacial?

Both exfoliate and neither has downtime. Microdermabrasion is purely mechanical and slightly more aggressive on texture, which makes it the better pick for rough skin, mild scarring, and sun damage. HydraFacial adds suction extraction and infused serums, which suits congested, dehydrated, or sensitive skin. Many clinics offer both and alternate them.

Does it hurt, and what does the skin look like afterward?

It feels like a cat's tongue or fine sandpaper moving across the skin, with mild suction. Afterward the skin is pink for an hour or two and feels tight and smooth. Makeup can go on the same day; sunscreen is essential for a week because the fresh surface burns easily.

Who should skip it?

Anyone with active inflamed acne, rosacea, eczema, open sores, or very reactive skin, and anyone on isotretinoin or who has had a recent peel or laser. The abrasion can inflame those conditions. A good provider checks before treating.

How is it different from dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning scrapes the surface with a blade and removes fine facial hair along with dead skin; microdermabrasion abrades with a tip or crystals and reaches slightly deeper into texture. Dermaplaning is the better choice for peach fuzz and makeup application; microdermabrasion for rough texture and light scarring.
