Over the years, a skin-care technique named microdermabrasion has grown in popularity. A patient can have this done for relatively little cost, and it is noninvasive and is not painful.
For people who don't wish to have more serious plastic surgery, or injections and laser options, this is a choice that makes sense.
There is a lot that microdermabrasion can do, including lessening the appearance of age spots (hyperpigmentation), reduce scars, even out rough skin, make pores smaller, and lessen wrinkles and lines on the face. Collagen growth will be stimulated as skin creams can permeate deeper, and this will be something that makes the skin look brighter and more radiant.
Microdermabrasion is a powerful exfoliation performed with special equipment. Dead skin on the surface is removed using this procedure.
The crystal microdermabrasion device consists of a compressor that draws in air through a hand-held wand. A vacuum is produced as the wand makes contact with a patient's skin. Dead skin cells are removed from the top layers of the skin as they collide with the aluminum oxide crystals. The crystals and dead skin cells are quickly sucked up through a different tube in the same wand.
Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses the same vacuum technology and hand-held wand, but there aren't any crystals moving through the tip. The dead skin cells are removed buy the diamond tip in this technique, and then vacuumed up the same way. There are many different tips with various grades of roughness, chosen specifically for your skin type and condition. Crystal microdermabrasion is a little more comfortable that diamond-tip, but they have the same result for the patient. It is also usually better for sensitive skin.
The skill of the treatment provider can improve upon the already significant effects of microdermabrasion. For skin that is rougher, more treatments will be required for the desired effect, and in most cases several treatments are necessary. How a patient responds to the initial treatment will help to direct the provider to complete a plan that will deliver the results needed with the correct amount of visits to achieve the expected effect. Most people are very pleased with the initial results of their first treatment session, but it may take several sessions to address all of the problems and issues with your complexion. It is generally advised to follow up with regular maintenance treatments every 3-4 months. Individuals who happen to have very sensitive skin can also benefit from this process, as the device can be set up in order to cater toward their specific skin type.
Although microdermabrasion is an extremely popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, it is not completely free from side effects. As mentioned, the microdermabrasion treatment sandblasts the skin which will slightly traumatize it and create a reaction. Typically, some redness, tightness and very light bruising will occur along with possible sensitivity. It goes away within hours, and is expected. Abrasions that are relatively minor have been known to occur, isolated minor bleeding can also happen. Skin microdermabrasion treatments have little risk for clients, require no anaesthesia and there are no harmful chemicals being used on your delicate facial skin. This process is much easier on the skin and safer than facial peels that involve chemicals or lasers.
