What happens if I get red marks after a treatment?
Some of our clients have found that if the device is held too long in one spot, or the skin is extra sensitive in that particular area, it could perform dermabrasion. A treatment performed by specialists where deeper layers of skin are removed. To help these areas to heal and regenerate, we would suggest the following:
1. Cleanse the skin after use
2. Keep the area moist to promote healing
3. Avoid sun exposure as new skin is more susceptible to sun damage
When your skin has healed and regenerated & you are comfortable in doing another treatment, we suggest that you do the following:
1. Move down to a lower suction level
2. Make sure you glide The Microdermabrasion Tool over each area just once & do not press down into the skin, rather let the suction pull your skin upwards
3. Hold the skin tight to allow The Microdermabrasion Tool to glide across
4. Keep the skin clean, moisturized & protected from the sun
