Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a beauty service that can help to rejuvenate the skin and keep it looking more youthful.
This procedure is generally used to enhance skin's appearance, whether that's simply to create fresher looking skin, or to reduce the appearance of conditions such as:
- Acne scars,
- Fine lines,
- Wrinkles,
- Enlarged pores,
- Age spots,
- Sun damage,
- Blemishes.
How The Treatment Works on the Skin
Microdermabrasion can either be done at home or in the salon, using different machines that all work to smooth the skin, removing dead skin cells from the top layer. Since this layer is only superficial, the treatment is generally very quick and painless.
Once the top layer of skin cells has been removed, this quickly encourages the skin beneath it to start creating new cells – leaving the area looking younger. This can be done in a number of different areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest and others.
The top layer of our skin is the most superficial due to the fact that it is made up of dead cells and the waste of our skin. This is why it's beneficial to remove the top layer to encourage the production of much healthier skin cells.
How Quickly Does Microdermabrasion Work?
The process is extremely simple, but how quickly it will work depends upon the results you are after and the particular skin conditions you suffer with. Many people simply choose microdermabrasion as a way to improve the general look of their skin, where others have a specific goal to reduce the appearance of certain skin blemishes.
For example, if you have scars then it's unlikely that one treatment will be enough to completely get rid of them, though they should appear to be reduced from the first treatment. Each time you repeat the treatment, a new layer of the scar will be removed.
Microdermabrasion needs to be repeated over time in order to maintain the best results. Each treatment will work on just one skin layer to ensure the process is natural and safe.
You will need to wait for a certain period of time in between treatments in order to avoid irritation and breakouts – if you're doing the treatment yourself at home it's important to follow the instructions carefully.
By working on each layer gradually, you can ensure that your skin will be kept healthy, there will be no pain, and the results will leave your skin looking younger and fresher.
