Microdermabrasion Benefits: Facial Skin Peel For Better Skin
Benefits And Effects Of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion or microderm is that line of cosmetic procedures that goes all the way from helping to minimize fine lines to improving a person’s pores. It is most popular in medical spas as well as day spas and doctors’ practices. The procedure involves partial or total removal of the outermost layer of one’s skin by using light abrasion. It aims at removing skin that has been damaged by the sun, removing or lessening scars and also reducing the dark spots on one’s skin. It is also used in the treatment of stretch marks, age spots, blackheads and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion can be used for medical reasons for scar removal in the case of those scars that are raised above the skin around it. Microdermabrasion is also used by some in the treatment of acne but in this case it needs to be repeated often for it to be effective. Dermabrasion refers to the medical procedure that is more severe and needs to be done under general or light anesthesia.
Some of the methods involve using mechanical abrasions from aluminum oxide or zinc oxide crystals, roughened surface or fine organic particles. Microdermabrasion uses special creams made up of micro-crystals. These when combined with a hand piece or a re-surfacing wand help to massage the tissues of the skin and drive out the oil, dead skin cells and entrenched contaminants. The procedure involves sloughing of the dull and dead layers of skin, then stimulating the collagen production to increase thus leading to rejuvenation. It also helps in improving enlarged pores, oily or dull skin, clogged pores, mild acne scars, fine lines and other mild complexion problems. It tackles problems of uneven pigmentation too. The benefits also include enhancing lymph flow and circulation which leads to the improvement in the internal health of one’s skin.
The procedure can be done at a very nominal cost and since it is not very painful it does not even require anesthetic. Convenience is a big benefit of this procedure and what makes it so popular. It is often referred to as the ‘lunch break facial’ as it can be completed in under thirty minutes. This treatment also requires no recovery time. It is a very gentle and low invasive procedure. It is an easy way to renew youth and a glow to one’s skin. Probably the most appreciated benefit of the Microdermabrasion treatment is that there are no scalpels used or lasers or any discomfort causing chemicals.
