A The skin will be a light shade of pink almost like a very slight sunburn, but goes away within hours. You do need to stay out of the sun for 48 hours following the treatment.

Microdermabrasion involves virtually no downtime and normal activities can usually be resumed right away. The skin may feel a bit hot or flushed for the first day after the procedure. It is important, however, that patients avoid sun exposure for about a week. See similar questions...

Although recovery time varies with the individual, most patients can and do return to their usual level of activity fairly quickly (within 3-4 days). Patients from out of town have flown back as soon as 4-5 days but one week is generally recommended. See similar questions...

A.) Microdermabrasion is a moderately aggressive form of exfoliation. Generally speaking, microdermabrasion involves the use of crystals suspended in a cream to abrade or to rub away the top layers of the dermis (skin). Microdermabrasion is deeper than superficial peels done by a chemical processes. And deeper than gentle exfoliation done by less hard crystals or beads. See similar questions...

With today’s very refined micro hair transplantation procedure the incisions are very small and less invasive than past procedures. This results in more rapid healing. Most patients feel fine within a day or two following surgery, although some numbness and mild soreness can be expected for several days following surgery. See similar questions...

Abdominal Hysterectomy: a three to five day hospital stay with approximately six weeks recovery at home. Vaginal Hysterectomy: a three to five day hospital stay with approximately four weeks recovery at home. Laser Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy: a one to two day hospital stay with one to two weeks recovery at home. See similar questions...

No. Normal activities may be resumed after treatment. The treated area should not be exposed to sunlight until the skin color has returned to normal in several days. See similar questions...

A.) Microdermabrasion in a doctor's office or a spa often involves the use of specialized (and expensive) equipment. But, complicated and expensive is not always better. Microdermabrasion machines generally involve a wand that blasts crystals onto the skin. The crystals abrade or rub away the top layer of the skin. Then, the crystals and the exfoliated skin cells are vacuumed back into the machine. There's really nothing magical about this process. See similar questions...

A.) As the prefix "micro" implies, microdermabrasion is a "littler" version of skin abrasion. Dermabrasion often is performed in a hospital or clinic environment. It's much more invasive. So much more so that it often requires anesthesia and can require an overnight stay. Dermabrasion is done using a spinning metal wheel to "sand" down the skin. The recovery is much longer and more complex than microdermabrasion and can involve antibiotics, special creams, etc. See similar questions...

A.) Immediately afterwards your skin might feel a little sensitivity, will probably be very smooth to the touch and will probably be pinker or redder than normal. The day after and for the next three or four days, your skin might feel like it's been sunburned (or actually more like it's been windburned). You might experience some peeling and dryness. It's important to keep the skin well hydrated during this time and to avoid harsh chemicals on your face. See similar questions...

A.) Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types. If you are a "normal healthy" adult, microdermabrasion is not harmful. But, microdermabrasion won't cure everything. Laser surgery or dermabrasion might be required for some conditions that penetrate the skin more deeply than microdermabrasion can reach. So, to avoid wasting your money, it's important to know that you can't remove severe scars, tattoos, birth marks, etc. See similar questions...

A.) Microdermabrasion is relatively risk-free. It's minimally invasive (it does remove the top layers of skin). So, it's important to keep the skin clean, hydrated and protected from the sun during and for several days after treatments. See similar questions...

Recovery time will depend on the procedure performed. This will be discussed with you during your consultation, as well as when you are seen following your surgery for dressing and wound care. See similar questions...

Recovery time after arthroscopy depends on findings and the procedures done. To speed up recovery and prevent further knee joint function, a specific activity and rehabilitation program may be recommended. Some patients go back to work or school or continue daily activities within a few days. Athletes and others who are in good physical condition often return to athletic activities within a few weeks, although occasionally, it takes a number of weeks to fully recover.

Most people that have surgery are able to resume normal activities with minor limitations in 24 to 48 hours. Some limitations include no swimming or eye makeup for one week. The LASIK patient is encouraged to rest the day of surgery. No. Anesthetic eye drops are used during surgery, so that the procedure is completely painless. Patients often do feel a moderate amount of pressure sensation during surgery, but pain is not a normal part of the procedure. See similar questions...
