Microdermabrasion shouldn't have any negative effect on your filler treatment. However, just make sure to wait a bit between your treatments to reduce the risk of infection.
Microdermabrasion performed after fillers should not affect the filler. Fillers, such as juvederm, are placed in the deep dermis or dermal-subcutaneous junction (and sometimes deeper), not at the surface of the skin. However, It's wise to make sure skin is completely healed before performing any micodermabrasion. Breaks in the skin can lead to infection, possible hyperpigmentation, and scarring. Microdermabrasion improves the texture and overall look of the skin. As with any treatment, it's best to consult with the physician in their office.
If the treatment is done a few days after the fillers then there shouldn't be any problem. When we do microdermabrasion in my office we don't press down so hard on the tissue that it would really be an issue. Be aware that the exfoliation creates the best results when given as a series of treatments at least 3 to 4 weeks apart. Good luck!
Microdermabrasion after a Juvederm injection should not cause any harm to your Juvederm treatment. However, you could have a good deal of unnecessary inflammation to the area and theoretically increase your risk of infection. Might as well wait a few days after your Juvederm injection before having a microdermabrasion.
If you have significant facial redness from rosacea, microdermabrasion treatments may exacerbate this. I have found that IPL PhotoFacial treatments are best for reducing facial redness from rosacea. I hope this is helpful for you.
Unfortunately microdermabrasion isn't very effective for stretchmarks. Stretchmarks are notoriously difficult to treat. A tummy tuck can help get rid of those under the belly button, and lifts can also remove some. However, for nonsurgical options, you may want to consider micro needling....
There is no simple formula for management of actinic damage. The solar radiation induced damage has mutilple effects that penetrate through multiple layers of the skin including the papillary dermis (solar elastosis) which is not typically treated during a conventional microdermabrasion procedure.
