Microdermabrasion, How Long Between Treatments?

A good rule of thumb is to use microdermabrasion treatments on a weekly basis. In the beginning, you can start using the treatment every 6 or 7 days until you experience the results that you desire. Then, you can start to decrease the frequency to every other week or once a month. Most people find that once a month treatments are sufficient for maintenance on an on-going basis.

If you are wondering when to get microdermabrasion , a good strategy is to pick a specific day of the week for your treatments, and then use your at-home microderm machine on the same day every week. For example, you might consider using it every Saturday, which will give your skin a day to heal before going back to work on Monday. Most people don?t experience many negative side effects from microdermabrasion, although it is possible for your skin to get slightly irritated and have a pinkish color for up to 24 hours.

How to Do a Microdermabrasion at Home?

When you purchase your microdermabrasion machine, it will come with specific instructions to follow so that you can be sure that you are protecting the health of your skin. There are a few basic steps that should be followed:

1. Cleanse the skin, using a gentle cleanser that is oil-free. Be careful to avoid harsh cleansers, because they could dry out the skin and cause the skin to be more sensitive during the microdermabrasion treatment. Remember that the microdermabrasion machine will help to remove build-up and impurities on the skin, so the initial cleansing process doesn?t need to get rid of all of the dirt.
2. Next, pat the skin dry with a towel and allow your face to air dry completely. The microdermabrasion machine doesn?t work as well if your skin is damp.
3. Once the skin is dry, turn on the microdermabrasion machine and prepare to treat the skin. Use your free hand to pull the skin tight and then gently rub the head of the machine on your skin. Don?t do more than 1 or 2 passes on the same area of skin.
4. After you have treated the whole area, turn off the microderm machine and then finish the treatment with a few skin care products. It is a good idea to use a toner immediately after the treatment, because toner balances your skin?s pH levels. Follow the toner with a moisturizer, to keep moisture in the skin and prevent over drying.

Keep in mind that you are trying to avoid sagging skin, so it is best to use the microdermabrasion machine in an upward motion as you are moving it on your skin. Downward motions might increase your risk of wrinkles and fine lines.
