Before Getting Microdermabrasion
What should I expect during the first visit to a dermatologist?
Microdermabrasion is an effective and popular cosmetic procedure that can significantly improve your skin’s texture and appearance. As a non-invasive option, it offers numerous advantages and is suitable for many individuals seeking skin rejuvenation. By following the proper preparation, procedure, and aftercare instructions, you can maximize the benefits of microdermabrasion and achieve a radiant, youthful glow. Visit Aarna Clinic in Jayanagar, India, and consult with Dr. Pavithra to discover if microdermabrasion is the right solution for your skin concerns.
After you’ve decided to get microdermabrasion done, try to stay out of the sun for at least a week before the procedure and discontinue skincare products like retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids a few days before treatment.
On the day of the appointment
What should I expect on the day of the procedure?
On the day of the procedure, arrive at the clinic with a clean, makeup-free face. A gentle cleanser will be used to remove any residual dirt or oils from your skin.
The microdermabrasion device will be selected based on your skin type and concerns. The selected device will be moved evenly across the treatment area, exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin.
The handheld device suctions away the exfoliated skin cells and crystals from the skin’s surface.
At Aarna Clinic, we offer a soothing mask after microdermabrasion to minimize any irritation that you may experience. A calming and hydrating moisturizer shall then be applied to your skin to help it recover and lock in moisture. Since your skin will be more sensitive after the procedure, sunscreen with a high SPF will be applied to protect your skin from UV rays before you step out.
Aftercare instructions
What precautions do I need to take after getting microdermabrasion?
The best part of a microdermabrasion treatment is that it has negligible downtime, thus mostly people don’t experience any signs of redness or inflammation. However it is still ideal to wear an ideal SPF as recommended by the doctor and regularly moisturize your skin and follow the skincare regime as advised.
Refrain from using harsh skincare products for a few days after treatment and remember that ‘Patience is Key’ thus results may take few sessions to become fully noticeable.
