Microdermabrasion Questions and Answers

Most microdermabrasion questions start after the visit. This page answers the first one the way a published source does, for readers around Cos Cob.

Begin with the microdermabrasion overview if the term is new to you.

What your skin may look like afterward

The American Academy of Dermatology writes: "After microdermabrasion, your treated skin may be pink or red and slightly swollen." Use those words as your checklist. Pink, red and slightly swollen are the three signs the source names.

A second source to compare

The plastic surgery society's microdermabrasion page is another place to read about the treatment. Read it next to the first source. Note any question that neither one answers.

Ask these after a visit

Ask what your own skin will look like after a visit. Ask how long it will look that way. Ask what to do if it looks different from the description above.
