What should you not do after microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melisma and other skin related concerns and conditions.
The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the thick outer layer of skin to rejuvenate it.
A different microdermabrasion technique sprays fine particles of aluminium oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a vacuum/suction to accomplish the same outcome as the abrasive surface.
The procedure can assist people with the following concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Age spots and brown spots
- Enlarged pores
- Blackheads
- Acne and acne scaring
- Stretch marks
- Dull looking skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Melasma
- Sun damage
