Microdermabrasion Aftercare

Microdermabrasion Aftercare – Pamper Parlour, Kellyville

At Pamper Parlour in the Hills District, our microdermabrasion treatments gently resurface and rejuvenate your skin by removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, stimulating cell renewal, and improving overall texture and tone. This non-invasive exfoliation leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products.

Because your skin is freshly exfoliated and more sensitive after microdermabrasion, following the correct aftercare is essential to:

  • Protect your skin barrier

  • Maintain your radiant results for longer

  • Reduce the risk of irritation, redness, or pigmentation

Here’s your complete microdermabrasion aftercare guide so you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results.

Immediately After Microdermabrasion: First 24-48 Hours

DO:

  • Cleanse gently – use a mild, non-active cleanser and lukewarm water. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating.

  • Apply a soothing, hydrating moisturiser – choose products free from fragrance, alcohol, and strong actives to calm sensitivity.

  • Wear SPF 30+ or 50+ daily – your skin will be more prone to sunburn and pigmentation.

  • Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water to support healthy skin regeneration.

  • Use clean pillowcases and towels to reduce the risk of bacteria contact with your skin.

DON’T:

  • Apply makeup for the first 24 hours – give your skin time to settle.

  • Use active skincare (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) for at least 48–72 hours.

  • Expose your skin to the sun, tanning beds, or excessive heat (saunas, hot showers).

  • Pick, rub, or scratch your skin – this can cause irritation or scarring.

Ongoing Aftercare: From Day 3 Onwards

DO:

  • Resume your regular skincare gradually, starting with gentle products before reintroducing actives.

  • Moisturise daily to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.

  • Continue applying SPF every day and reapply as needed when outdoors.

  • Book follow-up treatments every 4-6 weeks for optimal results.

DON’T:

  • Over-exfoliate: microdermabrasion already provides a deep exfoliation, so there’s no need for scrubs or peels for at least a week.

  • Neglect sun protection – unprotected UV exposure can cause pigmentation and undo your results.

What to Expect After Microdermabrasion

  • Immediately after: Skin may appear pink and feel slightly warm and tight – This is normal and temporary.

  • First 24-48 hours: Mild sensitivity and dryness can occur as the skin adjusts.

  • Days 3-7: Skin will feel smoother, appear brighter, and have improved product absorption.

  • Ongoing: Regular treatments promote healthier skin, reduced congestion, and a more even skin tone.
