• At The Beauty Clinic, all clients are offered a complimentary initial consultation which is always confidential. During this session, one of our Nurse Practitioners will review your concerns and goals so that together you can develop your own personalized treatment plan. Treatment options will be explained, and you’ll be shown ways to combine treatments to achieve your best results.

• Can I be treated right after my initial consultation?
• Treatments can often be done immediately after your consultation if you have taken the proper steps to prepare your skin.
  At least one week before treatment, cleanse and moisturize twice a day. You should avoid products containing glycolic, AHAs, BHAs or retinoids and tanning for at least three days prior to your treatment. Ask your practitioner to be sure about what you are using.
  Your practitioner will share additional specific instructions during your consultation.

• What happens during a treatment?
• Appointments usually last 45 minutes to an hour. Prior to beginning your first treatment, your practitioner will review your plan with you, explain the treatment including associated risks and answer any questions you may have.
  Many people describe Microdermabrasion as feeling slightly “gritty” or having a slight tugging sensation as the technician moves the wand over their skin. After your treatment, your skin may feel a little warm or dry, and have a slight pink tone that usually fades within a few hours and can be concealed with mineral make-up.

• When will I notice results and how long will they last?
• Although results may vary, you can expect to see results soon after your first treatment and notice continued improvement with each session. An initial series of treatments is recommended for best results.
  Because your skin is always regenerating, it is best to have an occasional maintenance treatment, which we recommend at least annually or when you notice build-up on your skin, to help keep your results at their best.
  You can also protect your results by maintaining a proper skincare routine that includes sun protection and minimizing UV exposure.

• What kind of medical expert will I have?
• At The Beauty Clinic, Microdermabrasion is performed by our fully trained Medical Estheticians and Nurse Practitioners.

• Does it hurt? What are the most common side effects?
• The treatment is painless. Your skin many appear a little red, may feel a little tight or dry immediately after your treatment.
  A complete list of side effects and possible adverse reactions for this service will be discussed during your consultation.

• What if I am already doing other treatments?
• Some treatments should not be performed within a short time period of one another. Please discuss all treatment plans with your practitioner prior to undergoing any treatment.

• Is there any reason I cannot undergo treatment?
• Before completing Microdermabrasion, your practitioner will discuss with you reasons you cannot undergo treatment. Some examples include having allergies to the crystal or surgical steel, having rosacea, dermatitis, open sores, or a skin infection. Additionally, clients taking blood thinners, Accutane or related medications are not able to undergo treatment.
  It is important that you share your complete health history, and any medications and supplements with your practitioner.
