How long after a microdermabrasion treatment can filler injections generally be performed?

1 day
1-2 days
3-5 days
1 week

The correct answer is: 1-2 days

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that exfoliates the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Following this treatment, the skin may experience temporary sensitivity and redness, which can make it important to allow a healing period before performing more invasive procedures such as filler injections. Filler injections, which involve the injection of substances like hyaluronic acid into the skin to restore volume and reduce wrinkles, require that the skin be in optimal condition to minimize the risk of complications such as bruising or irritation. The recommended waiting period of 1-2 days allows the skin to recover from any potential irritation or sensitivity caused by the microdermabrasion, while still being close enough to the treatment date for the best cosmetic outcome with filler injections. Choosing a timeframe within 1-2 days balances the need for skin recovery with the timing of additional treatments, making it an appropriate recommendation for estheticians and healthcare providers in this context.
