Does microdermabrasion hurt or leave you red?
Does it hurt?
It feels like light scratching with a gentle pull. Most people relax after the first minute. If an area feels too strong, your provider turns the pressure down.
Will my skin be red?
Skin can look pink for a few hours. There is nothing left on the skin to peel. Most people go back to work the same day.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the treatment and how many visits you book. It is priced at your visit.
How a microdermabrasion facial works
The wand has a fine, rough tip. As it moves over your skin, it buffs off dead cells. Light suction inside the wand lifts them away at the same time.
Your provider sets the pressure for each area. It is softer near the eyes and firmer on rough spots like the chin. No acid goes on during the buffing, so there are no peeling days.
With the dull top layer gone, skin feels smoother, and serums soak in better. Some people call it a microderm facial.
What happens at a microdermabrasion visit
- 1Cleanse
Makeup and oil come off, so the wand moves evenly across your skin.
- 2Buff and lift
The tip passes over each area while light suction lifts away dead skin. Say so if the pressure feels too strong.
- 3Soothe and protect
A hydrating serum, moisturizer and sunscreen go on last.

Microdermabrasion results and aftercare
Right after, skin feels smoother and may look pink for a few hours. Keep makeup light for the rest of the day.
For the next few days, skip scrubs, retinol and exfoliating acids. Wear sunscreen every day, since fresh skin burns more easily.
One visit can freshen dull skin before an event. For rough texture, people often book a short series a few weeks apart. See how often to get a facial or microdermabrasion.

Who should wait before microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion suits most skin types. Tell your provider first, and you may need to wait, if any of these apply:
- You have a sunburn, a rash, a cold sore or open breakouts on the area.
- You took isotretinoin, an acne pill, in the past six months.
- You use a prescription retinoid cream.
Deep, pitted acne scars need more than buffing. Microneedling is the usual next step for those. See acne scar treatment options.

Questions
Microdermabrasion questions
Does microdermabrasion hurt?
It feels like light scratching with a gentle pull from the suction. Most people find it relaxing after the first minute. If an area feels too strong, the pressure comes down right away.
How many microdermabrasion sessions will I need?
One visit can freshen dull skin before an event. For rough texture, people often book a short series a few weeks apart. Your provider suggests a plan after seeing how your skin responds.
What should I do after microdermabrasion?
Wear sunscreen every day and skip scrubs and retinol for a few days. Keep makeup light for the rest of the day.
Is microdermabrasion better than a HydraFacial?
They do different jobs. Microdermabrasion suits rough, dull skin. A HydraFacial suits clogged pores and dryness, because it adds serum. Some people alternate the two.
Does microdermabrasion help with acne scars?
It can soften shallow marks and rough texture. It does not reach deep, pitted scars. For those, your provider may suggest microneedling instead.
How long does a microdermabrasion facial take?
About 45 minutes, including cleansing and the serum and sunscreen at the end. Most people go straight back to work after.
Is microdermabrasion safe for darker skin?
It usually is, because it uses no heat, light or acid. Darker skin can still get dark marks if it is buffed too hard. Tell your provider if you get dark spots after cuts or breakouts, so the pressure stays gentle.
