Based on the strength of your treatment, your aesthetician will suggest a local skin anesthetic to help you stay comfortable during the procedure. Following your dermabrasion, once the anesthesia wears off, your skin may sting or feel like you have a light sunburn. We will give you post-treatment skin care advice, such as the best creams to use and how often to use them. Swelling, redness, and discomfort should be gone as soon as your skin heals and your skin starts to look smoother and clearer.
