Hi, I'm suppose to be having a microdermabrasion treatment Tuesday to help with my hyperpigmentation on my cheeks but I've broken out with 4 or 5 painful under skin pimples on my face. Can I still have the treatment without it affecting the pimples?

Thank you for your question! You should go back to your provider and have a check-up. Microdermabrasion usually minimizes hyper and hypopigmentation. It is important to for you to wear sunscreen at all times with minimum SPF 30. Best of luck!
Thank you for question! You should wait for your skin to heal before you proceed with microdermabrasion to avoid any further complications such as hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and inflammations. Best of luck!
I would recommend a chemical peel 3-4 weeks prior to your microneedling with PRP. We have seen excellent results for ice pick scarring combining the two treatments back to back. I would recommend a medium medical grade peel such as, ZO 3 Step Stimulation Peel, RevePeel, or VI Peel. Hope...
