Sweating, overactive sebaceous secretion, and lack of nerve response are not contra actions to micro-dermabrasion.

If a client experiences a contra action to treatment, it is important to stop the treatment immediately to prevent further harm or discomfort. Applying a cold compress can help alleviate any pain or swelling that may have occurred. Seeking GP advice is necessary to ensure proper medical attention and guidance.
