Question: I want to have microdermabrasion but am nervous because I have very sensitive skin. Are there any side effects that may affect skin even more?
Answer: In patients with very sensitive skin we tend to use the finest microdermabrasion wand to prevent any overly aggressive injury to the sensitive skin. You should also know that after a microdermabrasion your skin care products may appear to be more potent due to the fact that they can penetrate the skin easier and in patients like yourself I would recommend reducing the amount of skin care products used in the first day to two after your microdermabrasion procedure.
