Can Microdermabrasion Use Cause Patchy Skin?
I ve had microdermabrasion 2 or 3 times with the time in between each one being 2 or 3 months... I have also done the laser once... I have a thick patch of skin on one side of my nose that I did not have before... not sure what caused it... it puffs out a little on that side and make my nose look a little crooked... I want it to go away... it doesn t itch and it isn t red

Hello,
As per your query of patchy skin, my advice is -
1. Microdermabrasion cannot cause any such skin problem.
2. It may be due to any other cause.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it to prevent infection.
4. Consult a dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
No , microdermabrasion does not cause patchy skin as such. In fact, it will remove the dead layer giving your skin glow n smoothness. Was there redness after laser? You can apply Montas cream two times per day for 15 days. Retin A creams 0.05% at night time only for one month. Use Cetaphil moisturizing lotion regular use. Capsule Nutricap-S once an after food for one month. Take Ener C dissolvable tablet early morning empty stomach.
