Question about special care after a microdermabrasion
After a diamond microdermabrasion treament, is it safe to use an anti acne cleanser bar soap (recomended by my dermatologist) containing: Salicylic acid + Melaleuca alternifolia + Allantoin? If not, how much should I wait before using it again?
Thank you very much

Hi, thank you for your answer. It was indeed very helpful, but I still have a doubt.
You say I shouldn't use salicylic acid in the 72 hs after the treatment, and to avoid ALL soaps for 1 week? Because my acne cleanser is a bar soap that contains salicylic acid. Should I stop it for 72 hs or 1 week? Sorry if it's obvious but English is not my first language and subtle things escape me

Do not use any alpha hydroxy acid products (those containing glycolic or lactic acid), salicylic acid products, retinoids (Retin A, Renova, Differin and Tazorac) and other topical acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide for 72 hours after the treatment. Also any scarubbing or acne soaps should be avoided for atleast 1 week after the miscrodermabrasion procedure.
