How many days should a client wait after microdermabrasion before receiving Restylane or collagen injections?

  1. 3-5

  2. 1-2

  3. 7-10

  4. 5-7

The correct answer is: 1-2

After microdermabrasion, it is advisable to wait 1 to 2 days before receiving Restylane or collagen injections. This brief waiting period allows the skin to settle and recover from the microdermabrasion procedure, which can cause temporary redness and sensitivity. Administering injections too soon may increase the risk of irritation or adverse reactions on the freshly treated skin. In the context of the other options, longer waiting periods, such as 3-5 days, 5-7 days, or 7-10 days, may be unnecessarily extended and could delay the client's aesthetic goals. Therefore, the recommended 1 to 2 days strikes the right balance for optimal healing while still accommodating the client’s desires for treatment.
