Does microdermabrasion hurt or leave you red?
Does it hurt?
It feels like light scratching with a gentle pull. Most people adjust to it within the first minute. If an area feels too strong, your provider lowers the pressure.
Will my skin be red?
Skin can look pink for a few hours. No product is left on the skin, so there is no peeling. Most people return to work the same day.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the treatment and the number of visits you book. It is quoted at your visit.
How a microdermabrasion facial works
The wand has a fine, textured tip. As it moves over your skin, it exfoliates dead surface cells. Light suction inside the wand removes them at the same time.
Your provider adjusts the pressure for each area: lighter near the eyes and firmer on rough areas such as the chin. No acid is applied, so there is no peeling afterward.
With the dull outer layer removed, skin feels smoother and absorbs serums more readily. It is also called a microderm facial.

- 2Exfoliation and suction

Microdermabrasion results and aftercare
Immediately afterward, 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, avoid scrubs, retinol and exfoliating acids. Wear sunscreen every day, since newly exfoliated skin burns more easily.
One visit can brighten 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 if any of these apply, as you may need to wait:
- You have a sunburn, a rash, a cold sore or open breakouts on the area.
- You took isotretinoin, an oral acne medication, in the past six months.
- You use a prescription retinoid cream.
Deep, pitted acne scars need more than surface exfoliation. 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 adjust to it within the first minute. If an area feels too strong, the pressure is lowered right away.
How many microdermabrasion sessions will I need?
One visit can brighten dull skin before an event. For rough texture, people often book a short series a few weeks apart. Your provider recommends a plan after seeing how your skin responds.
What should I do after microdermabrasion?
Wear sunscreen every day and avoid scrubs and retinol for a few days. Keep makeup light for the rest of the day.
Is microdermabrasion better than a HydraFacial?
They serve different purposes. 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 recommend microneedling instead.
How long does a microdermabrasion facial take?
About 45 minutes, including cleansing and the serum and sunscreen at the end. Most people return to work right afterward.
Is microdermabrasion safe for darker skin?
It usually is, because it uses no heat, light or acid. Darker skin can still develop dark marks if exfoliation is too aggressive. Tell your provider if you get dark spots after cuts or breakouts, so the pressure stays gentle.
