How long after a microdermabrasion treatment can you do filler injections?

The correct timing for filler injections after a microdermabrasion treatment is 1-2 days. Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure that exfoliates the skin. While it can enhance the overall appearance and texture of the skin, it also temporarily makes the skin more sensitive and susceptible to irritation.

Waiting for 1-2 days allows the skin to recover from the exfoliation process before introducing products or procedures like fillers that involve injecting substances into the skin. This timeframe minimizes the risk of adverse reactions, such as swelling or bruising, which can occur if injections are performed too soon after microdermabrasion. Ensuring that the skin has had a short recovery period also helps the practitioner to evaluate the skin's condition better before proceeding with filler injections.

In contrast, waiting for shorter periods, such as less than a day, might not provide enough time for the skin to settle and could increase the likelihood of complications. Waiting longer, such as several days or a week, may not be necessary given that the microdermabrasion effects should have subsided by that point.
