How long do you wait to get injections after receiving microdermabrasion?

Waiting 1-2 days after microdermabrasion before getting injections is recommended because it allows your skin time to recover from the resurfacing treatment. Microdermabrasion can cause temporary redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling; therefore, allowing these effects to subside minimizes the risk of complications or excessive irritation when undergoing subsequent procedures like fillers or botox.

The skin's barrier is temporarily weakened after microdermabrasion, and injecting substances immediately could increase the likelihood of adverse reactions or infection. By waiting for a short period, you can ensure that your skin has adequately healed, enhancing the overall effectiveness and safety of the injection treatment. This approach ultimately contributes to better results and patient comfort.
