Question

Microneedling and microdermabrasion

Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Yes you need to wait at least 2 weeks after microneedlking to have a microdermabrasion treatment.   Microdermabrasion is a minimally abrasive technique used to reduce and correct skin blemishes such as scars or sun spots.  It improves the texture of your skin by removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface. There is on downtime after the treatment and skin care ingredients penetrate deeper into your skin.

It is perfectly fine to have a microdermabrasion treatment in between microneedling treatments. In fact, we sometimes perform microdermbrasions immediately prior to a microneedling treatment. This can help to improve uneven texture and help lift off dead skin cells and impurities from the skin. Please seek a board-certified dermatologist to determine if you are an ideal candidate for the treatment.

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, you can have microdermabrasion treatments in between your microneedling treatments. At least wait 2 weeks after microneedling to have your microdermabrasion done. Every microneedling treatment should be done 4-6 weeks apart. If you are experiencing extra sensitivity to your skin, I would recommend waiting longer than 2 weeks to have your microderms. That way you aren't over exfoliating and giving your skin enough time to heal. I hope this information helps, good luck!
Best,Dr. Khadavi
