Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microdermabrasion.

We assess skin during consultation; microdermabrasion can be safe for many skin types when performed gently. It may be modified or avoided for highly sensitive, rosacea-prone, or actively inflamed acne—alternatives or patch testing will be recommended.

Most clients notice visible improvement after one treatment, but a series of 4–6 sessions spaced two to four weeks apart produces cumulative, longer-lasting results. Maintenance treatments every 4–12 weeks keep skin smooth and bright.

Treatment is generally comfortable with minimal sensation—some clients feel mild abrasion or suction. There’s little to no downtime; you may experience temporary redness or sensitivity which typically resolves within 24–48 hours.

Microdermabrasion helps improve mild scarring and surface pigmentation by promoting cellular turnover, but deeper scars or stubborn discoloration may require combined therapies such as chemical peels, microneedling, or laser for optimal results.

Avoid heavy retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure for several days before and after treatment. Use gentle cleansers, hydrate, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen. Your clinician at Skin by Nesrin will provide a personalized pre- and post-care plan.

Individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, recent isotretinoin use, certain skin conditions or aggressive sunburn should defer treatment. Pregnant clients should consult their provider. Schedule a consultation to review medical history and determine suitability.
