After completing a laser resurfacing procedure, when can Microdermabrasion typically begin?

Microdermabrasion can typically begin around one month after a laser resurfacing procedure. This timeframe allows the skin sufficient opportunity to heal after the more intense treatment of laser resurfacing, which can lead to significant skin irritation and sensitivity.

Laser resurfacing works by removing layers of skin to improve texture, reduce scars, and promote collagen production, which means the skin requires time to recover from the effects of the procedure. Once the initial healing period has passed, and the skin has settled down, microdermabrasion can be safely introduced as it is a gentler treatment that helps maintain skin results without overwhelming the healing tissues. Starting treatments too soon could risk complications or irritation, so waiting at least a month helps ensure the skin is ready to benefit from microdermabrasion safely.
