Answer: Flaky and dry skin are common after microdermabrasion and it only lasts for up to a week.
Arian Mowlavi, MD, FACS (license on probation) says:
You probably burst a few capillaries in your forehead; this should get better within a few days. You may want to use some Arnica to expedite resolution of bruising.
This is quite unusual to occur after microdermabrasion. I would advise you to have a check up appointment with your provider. There are several factors that may have caused this. It is either medications that you have been taking or inadequate pressure and suction on the area. Good luck!
Thank you for your question! I would suggest you to completely heal after your rhinoplasty. Microdermabrasion should not affect your rhinoplasty, but it is better to be safe than sorry. I would wait for at least one to two months to proceed with microdermabrasion. Best of luck!
