Skin preparation prior to Microdermabrasion:

No pre-treatment requirements are required: simply remove all your make-up and off you go!

Post‐Microdermabrasion advice

Your skin may look red and feel a little hot immediately after the treatment but this usually settles after a few hours. You may put on your makeup and return to work immediately after treatment. It is advisable to wear a total sun-block (SPF 25 or greater) to protect your skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light from the sun, daylight or sunbeds.

If you have any problems after your microdermabrasion treatment, please phone Nurse Mary Cullen-Sheehan or Dr Buckley - contact us.
