Preparing for a Microdermabrasion
A week before your procedure it is highly advised to stop using exfoliating products, acids and bleaching creams/products. Along with the discontinued use of retinols and tretinoin (Retin-A) at least 12 hours in advance (day before), do not also conduct any wax or skin treatment.
Please remember microdermabrasion cannot be done if you have active acne, cold sore or open lesions, discontinue the usage of Accutane 6 months prior to having any skin treatment or procedure due to skin sensitivity.
