How long should I wait to get a microdermabrasion face treatment after just getting full face laser hair removal?

Question

Healing time for facial treatments are usually two weeks, you can do 10-14 days after your laser treatment. Any treatment done before the time frame can cause irritation/burning sensitivity to your skin.

Hi there. Before getting microdermabrasion treatments, you want to make sure that your skin has had a chance to fully heal after your last laser hair removal session. This can be different for everyone, so your best bet is to talk with your cosmetic surgeon or laser technician about your timeline for microdermabrasion. Keep in mind that some redness, irritation and blistering can be normal after laser treatments, so you don’t want to aggravate your skin even further with microdermabrasion soon after.

I would recommend waiting at least a week after laser hair removal before having a microdermabrasion treatment.  However, if you have any complications (such as a blister) from the laser, then you should wait until that is completely healed, which could be up to two weeks.
