How does Microdermabrasion work and how does it differ from getting facials?
Microdermabrasion is basically a procedure that involves using lifeless, natural, mineral crystals (usually Corundum Powder) and brushing them over the skin to act as an abrasive means of removing dead skin cells and tissue. The roughness of the crystals smooth down the skins surface by rubbing off the dead cells and leaving new fresh skin exposed. This method causes little trauma to the skin being treated and can be done with amazing precision that has been unobtainable through other methods. There is, for example, much more control over the abrading procedure, than in the case of a chemical peel. There are a number of fantastic treatments aside from microdermabrasion, such as facials and varying peels, but this is the most accurate method if you are looking for specific areas to be treated.
When microdermabrasion first became available, the beauty industry quickly fell in love with it. It can only be assumed that it gets the job done, as it has survived beyond fad lifespan – more popular today than ever! It is in fact because of the extremely successful results that it continues to grow in strength, with thousands of people left satisfied after treatment. One of the major benefits of this method is that it improves the skin, but takes less time and effort than other treatments. Also, it does not cause the need for rest or down time afterwards and is generally quick to perform. But what are the specific benefits of this treatment?
Microdermabrasion is effective on so many different conditions that it could be hard to keep track! These include but are in no way limited to: Acne Covered Skin, Acne Scars, Ageing Skin, Thickened skin, Congested Skin, Fine lines, Enlarged pores, Blemished Skin, Wrinkles and Brown spots / pigmentation. Regardless of your condition, whether it be scarring, fine lines and wrinkles or acne, there is a way to have it improved! A good home skin care regime is still essential, and facials help overall skin condition fantastically, but microdermabrasion can give you dramatic results quickly.
A fantastic use for microdermabrasion is as a predecessor to other skin care treatments. It has been found to hugely help recovery time of procedures such as laser resurfacing as it improves the skin’s dermal layers. It is thought this happens because it prompts the increase of collagen and elastin in the dermis and this leads to speedier recovery. This faster recovery time is evident in numerous examples that have been researched scientifically.
One of the main benefits of this treatment is the speed and efficiency. There is no long recovery or down time when choosing this option – just fantastic results and then back to your responsibilities. Also, this method can be used in conjunction with other skin care treatments, such as facials, and has very few side effects.
