How long should I wait before I do a microdermabrasion after a superficial burn?

Question

I just got a first/second degree burn from BBl laser treatment about two weeks ago and I was thinking maybe in the future to do a microdermabrasion to take some dead skin off. How long should I wait before doing so and is it a good idea?

Thank you for your question! You should wait for your skin to completely heal to prevent deeper scarring. It varies from person to person how long it takes for burns and scars to heal. You can use topical and oral medications to speed up the healing process such as vitamin E and retinol. Best of luck!

You can have a consulting appointment with the provider of your choice to determine if you are healed and ready for microdermabrasion. Good luck!
