Side-Effects and Risks

Side effects for microdermabrasion are usually temporary and may include swelling and redness for several hours. With devices utilizing suction hand pieces there is a possibility of bruising from the suction, which will usually last several days. The skin will become more sensitive to sun exposure so most physicians recommend using sunscreen following a microdermabrasion session.

Consult with a physician before any treatment.
