Appropriate aftercare is important to support skin recovery and maintain results following microdermabrasion.

• Avoid Touching the Skin
  Do not touch, rub, scratch, or pick the treated area for at least 24 hours.

• Gentle Cleansing Only
  Cleanse using lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid scrubs, exfoliating tools, or cleansing brushes.

• Avoid Makeup
  Do not apply makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to recover.

• Avoid Heat and Excessive Sweating
  Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.

• Sun Protection Is Essential
  Avoid direct sun exposure for 5–7 days. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 daily once the skin has settled.

• Avoid Active Skincare Products
  Do not use retinoids, acids (AHA/BHA), vitamin C, exfoliants, or fragranced products for 3–5 days post-treatment.

• Expected Skin Responses
  Mild redness, dryness, tightness, or sensitivity is common and typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Individual responses vary.

• Avoid Additional Treatments
  Do not have chemical peels, laser treatments, microneedling, dermaplaning, or waxing on the area for 7–14 days, unless advised by your practitioner.

• Hydration & Ongoing Care
  Drink adequate fluids and apply only practitioner-recommended soothing or hydrating products.

• When to Contact the Clinic
  If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, discomfort, or signs of infection, please contact the clinic promptly.
