The Ultimate Guide to the Microdermabrasion Benefits & Side Effects

Microdermabrasion

SIDE EFFECTS OF MICRODERMABRASION

When microdermabrasion is performed by a trained technician who has thoroughly examined your skin type, most of the microdermabrasion side effects are either short-lived or not experienced at all.

1) Redness

Redness

After a microdermabrasion procedure, most people notice that their skin is pink to red. 2 It usually looks like a minor sunburn and fades in a matter of hours. Suppose you have particularly sensitive skin or receive a more vigorous microdermabrasion treatment to address a specific skin problem. In that case, you will experience more prominent redness, which may take a day or more to fade completely. Inquire with your technician about what to expect in terms of redness.
