Redness and Swelling After Microdermabrasion?
I had a Microdermabrasion (Diamondtome) treatment yesterday, and the woman who performed it was really rough. Today, my skin is red and kind of puffy.
I have had several treatments before and this has never happened. Now I'm concerned about the possibility of underlying damage to my skin. Should I be concerned?

Redness after microdermabrasion
Te,
Microdermabrasion, whether with a diamond or crystal system, removes the superficial layer of dead skin called the stratum corneum. This is usually accomplished in one to three passes. Redness, like a supeficial sunburn, after microdermabrasion is not uncommon and should subside over the next 1-2 days. In fact, this slight redness is a marker that the treatment removed most of the dead cell layers and you will likely see an improved benefit because of it.
