Can I keep my facial hair grown out while receiving a microdermabrasion treatment?

Question

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

Your facial hair should, in no way, interfere with microdermabrasion treatment nor results.  At our office, we perform microdermabrasion on all skin types, every season of the year.  In general, most patients are great candidates for microdermabrasion which works best done regularly on a monthly basis.A lot of times our aesthetics patients add in injectable treatments such as Botox to decrease muscular movement of the forehead, glabella and crows feet as well as injectables such as Voluma for cheeks or Juvederm for the lips.If by chance you are interested in temporarily reducing the appearance of your hair on your face dermaplaning is the perfect solution.  It is a temporary way of getting rid of facial hair of all colors and textures by using a surgical blade.  Our aesthetician has a separate certification for derma planing and the treatment has no downtime.

Hi thank you for your question! Having facial hair will not interfere with having a microdermabrasion done in anyway. Make sure you go to someone who is qualified such as a Licensed Aesthetician.

Yes you can keep hair as it will not be affected by microdermabrasion but you need to check with your  technician to see if it will be in the way
