A CLOSER LOOK AT THE REMARKABLE BENEFITS OF MICRODERMABRASION




If you’re invested in the health and beauty of your skin, then you would have surely come across the term microdermabrasion before. Maybe you’ve considered booking a microdermabrasion facial session for yourself. However, how much do you really know about this innovative skincare treatment?

Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the benefits of microdermabrasion, so you can make an informed decision as to whether it’s the right cosmetic treatment for you.

Read on to learn more!

 

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a super effective cosmetic treatment that skin and beauty experts swear by. It’s non-surgical and non-invasive, which is part of why it’s such an appealing procedure. Microdermabrasion utilizes a hand-held applicator that uses abrasion to gently rub away the outermost layer of the skin along with any dead skin cells. 

Essentially it’s a very effective technique for full exfoliation, using medical-grade equipment to achieve complete results. It’s a painless procedure that can be done weekly up until eight weeks apart. Three- to four-week intervals are most common as it takes around 30 days for the skin to regenerate. 

 

How is It Done?

This procedure is usually carried out with a high-quality crystal microdermabrasion system, which is high-grade equipment that guarantees medical results in a spa environment. This system consists of a pump, a crystal-emitting handpiece, a connecting tube, and a vacuum. The machine emits tiny crystals that gently exfoliate the skin, removing the topmost layer and dislodging dead skin cells still sitting on the surface of your skin. Your practitioner will then use the small vacuum to siphon away any skin cells and debris.

This treatment will typically take around one hour to complete and should be carried out by an experienced professional. After the treatment, your practitioner will apply moisturizer and sunscreen to the treated skin. There is little-to-no downtime; you should be able to return to your normal routine immediately after a session. 

One thing to remember is that your skin may be sensitive to sun exposure afterward. Therefore, you should wear sunscreen regularly for a week or two after treatment. You may also see minor side effects immediately after the session, including slight swelling, redness, and tenderness of the skin. These should subside within a few hours.

 

Who Will Benefit the Most From This Treatment?

Microdermabrasion is an affordable, non-invasive cosmetic treatment that can be used on all skin types, whether you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or oily skin. It’s also suitable for clear skin, blemishes, uneven skin tone, etc. It isn’t limited to any specific skin type as exfoliation can help anyone’s skin look its best!

The same goes for age since many cosmetic procedures are better suited to older or younger people. Microdermabrasion is great for your skin regardless of age; it can help teenagers with spots and acne and can rejuvenate dull and flaky skin for those in their 20s and 30s. It can also help combat signs of aging in the skin, making it ideal for older people too.

In short, anyone can benefit from microdermabrasion regardless of their age or skin type. However, people with certain skin conditions such as rosacea and broken capillaries should avoid this kind of exfoliation.

 

Microdermabrasion Benefits

By removing the top layer of your skin and dead skin cells on the surface through microdermabrasion, you are guaranteed to see visible improvement in your skin along with the added advantage of moisturizers now being absorbed deeper into your skin. Overall, it will make your complexion smoother and brighter as well as even out the tone and texture of your skin. This makes it particularly effective on dull skin.

It can treat acne, acne scarring and the dark spots that occur after acne has faded. It can also be used to treat age spots and melasma and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it an excellent anti-aging treatment.
