ACNE Facial Training Manual for Estheticians

Overview of a Microdermabrasion Treatment Start the treatment by moving the wand or tip in small, circular motions across the face, avoiding the eye area and any active acne lesions. Start with the lowest setting and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.

Focus on acne-prone areas: Spend extra time on areas with active acne, blackheads, or enlarged pores, but be careful not to overdo it or cause any irritation.

Rinse and soothe the skin: Once the treatment is complete, gently rinse the skin with lukewarm water and apply a soothing, hydrating serum or moisturizer to help calm and hydrate the skin.

Advise the client: Advise the client to avoid direct sunlight and to use sunscreen to protect the skin. They should also avoid using harsh exfoliants or scrubs for at least a few days after the treatment.

It's important to note that microdermabrasion may not be suitable for all types of acne or skin conditions, and it's always best to consult with a skincare professional to determine the best treatment plan for each individual's needs.
