Microdermabrasion in Mason City, IA

You really don’t have to do much to prepare for your microdermabrasion treatment. We do recommend you:

• Avoid sun exposure for 3 days.
• Don’t have a sunburn; if you do, we’ll need to reschedule.
• Refrain from tanning creams or waxing for 7 days.
• Stop using exfoliating creams/masks/devices for 3 days.
• Remove any makeup in the treatment area before your session.
• Be fully hydrated for the best skin quality and healing.
• Have realistic expectations for your results.

Your provider will fill you in on all the preparation details and recommendations during your consultation.

There are different styles of microdermabrasion, some of which include spraying tiny particles at the skin to exfoliate it or using a rough surface to “sand” the skin.

Our diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses a special handpiece that has diamond particles imbedded in the head to quickly exfoliate skin while gentle suction removes the debris, dead skin cells, and even lightly cleanses your pores.

After your microdermabrasion treatment at Bare Sugar, your skin will be clean and smooth. For a short time, it may also be slightly swollen, reddened, and a little tender. These generally resolve within a few hours.

You can expect to have no downtime and go back to your regular daily activities. You should keep your skin hydrated with medical grade skincare products, and always protect your skin with SPF 30 or better sunscreen.

You should see immediate positive results after your procedure. Regular maintenance microdermabrasion sessions will support those results and continue your improved skin tone and texture!
