Post-Treatment Instructions for Microdermabrasion at Macaione and Papa Dermatology

What to expect after Microdermabrasion

Do not resume the use of glycolic acid skin care products or Retin-A (Afirm) until the fourth day after the procedure.
For three days post-procedure, use the facial cleanser, lotion, and eye cream that are given to you by The Skin Care Loft. Use in the A.M. and P.M. and in the warmer months use a sunscreen with an SPF30.
Avoid the use of abrasive or exfoliating scrubs on the area for one week after the procedure.
Do not color or “perm” your hair for one week after the procedure.
Do not wax your eyebrows or lips for one week after the procedure.

You may wear make-up after microdermabrasion if you choose. However, our recommendation is to wait until the next morning.
You may experience redness and/or a feeling similar to a sunburn or windburn for a few hours after the procedure. If this occurs, apply cold compresses for about five minutes several times a day. This will be very soothing and will address any stinging and/or lingering redness.
In the event of excessive dryness or flakiness, use additional moisturizer as often as needed.
Please notify the staff if you have a history of facial cold sores.

If the patient requests an aggressive treatment, crusting and pinpoint bleeding may occur. This is not dangerous, but can be inconvenient. The Skin Care Loft staff prefers to use their own best judgement when performing microdermabrasion.

This procedure will make your skin delicate and vulnerable for about a week.
