Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of the new century’s easiest ways to get rid of unwanted blemishes and pigmentation and to soften wrinkles and acne scars.  Advances in the treatments of skin has brought along dermasion where layers of the skin is sanded away, in stead of the chemical peels where an acid solution is used to burn away the layers of skin.  Microdermabrasion is an easy and affordable way to have your skin looking and feeling like new in no time.

Microdermabrasion – treatments can be done at day spas, medical spas and in doctors’ practices.  In this procedure the outer most layer of the skin is removed through abrasion that can be initialized by different methods.  New technology let therapists and doctors use a wand with a roughened surface as oppose to abrasive crystals that was used a number of years ago.

The procedure is an easy and non – surgical procedure and does not require any medical oversight.  It is commonly used as part of beauty treatments.  No anesthetics are required for the procedure to be performed.  Microdermabrasion is a skin-refreshing technique to help the skin repair as it is damaged by factors such as sunlight and ageing by stimulating the production of skin cells and collagen.  In most instances more than one treatment is needed to remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation or just to get the desired result.

For maximum results is it suggested that the client receive between five to twelve treatments spaced from two to three weeks apart.  Microdermabrasion carries virtually no side effects.  It gives the skin a fresh and healthy looking appearance and is effective on all skin types and skin colors.  It is also a great alternative for individuals who are not suited for chemical treatments.  Treatments can be done during ones’ lunch hour and normal activities can be resumed immediately.  It is painless and can be reported in short period of time.  Also there is no age restriction on the age it can be done at.

Individuals who are considering having a microdermabrasion – treatment should just bear in mind that multiple treatments will be necessary before the desired result is obtained and thereafter maintenance treatments will be necessary.  The skin will be assessed beforehand and it is possible that because of the skin type and skin tone, an individual skin care program may be recommended to ensure maximum results.

Microdemabrasion should not be confused with dermabrasion.  Microdemabrasion is a non-invasive and superficial treatment, whilst dermabrasion is a more surgical procedure which goes deep below the surface of the skin.  Dermabrasion should only be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon.

It is important to remember that there are some limitations on the uses of microdemabrasion.  Your therapist or doctor will inform you of what they are, but will also provide you with alternatives to help you solve your problem.
