Facial microdermabrasion involves resurfacing the skin with a technique that involves the removal of wrinkles, stretch marks, scarring as well as acne and sun damage. Microdermabrasion can also be used on several areas of the body and is safe for all skin shades. It helps to reduce age spots and scars, diminish fine lines and improve the appearance of the skin. Depending on age and the level of damage, more than one microdermabrasion treatment may be needed. Facial microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of skin imperfections by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin.
Microdermabrasion is actually a skin resurfacing treatment that works gently by abrading the outermost part of the skin. The process involves the blasting a stream of fine micro particles across the face by a kind of “skin vacuum cleaner”. The powder used varies according to the machines used and can include crystals of aluminum salts, sodium bicarbonate crystals, or even sodium chloride (table salt) crystals. The movement of these crystals under pressure loosens and partially removes the outermost epidermal layer of the skin. The Aluminum oxide micro crystal abrasion machines or diamond tipped wand gently sandblast your skin, leaving a new, fresh layer underneath thus leaving it smooth and fresh.
Facial microdermabrasion helps the face skin to rejuvenate faster than normal. It is a simple, straight forward, non-invasive procedure that revitalizes dull skin, reduces large pores, erases fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and reduces mild pigment irregularities also called hyper pigmentation. Moreover it encourages the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin,
giving the skin a fresher tone and healthier look.
The procedure of Microdermabrasion involves the spraying of a jet of mineral crystals to remove and vacuum the outer keratin layer of the skin. Regular removal of the kerating layer can improve the appearance of:
- Brown spots
- Shallow acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun-damaged skin
- Dull or aging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Facial microdermabrasion is the new "lunch time" approach to skin resurfacing. It stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen. Being less aggressive than laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion is a non-surgical treatment that does not require an anesthetic. Treatments usually take 35-45 minutes. While the effects of microdermabrasion are not as dramatic as those of laser resurfacing, the time required for recovering after the procedure is much shorter. Though there may be some redness afterwards, most patients can get back to doing their normal chores or duties immediately thereafter.
