• You may resume use of acid-exfoliants (glycolic/lactic/salicylic acid) after 3 days and retinol after 7 days. If irritation occurs, discontinue use for an additional 3-5 days

It is normal to experience some inflammation after your Microdermabrasion or Dermaplane. Your skin may feel tight and dry, especially if you use skincare with alcohol or fragrance. You are more photosensitive for two weeks so be cautious of sun exposure. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us!
