Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive skincare procedure that renews the skin’s overall tone and texture by gently sanding away surface imperfections along with dead skin cells, oil, and debris. Microdermabrasion produces luminous skin with increased brilliance, and a smoother, softer texture. Microdermabrasion also helps to diminish the appearance of surface skin imperfections such as blemishes, acne scars, and sunspots.
Microdermabrasion is used to effectively improve the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, melasma, and other skin conditions. Microdermabrasion can also rejuvenate the facial appearance by diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation. Microdermabrasion is a safe and relatively inexpensive cosmetic procedure that produces visible improvements with very little risk and no downtime.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion Treatment
The most significant benefits that microdermabrasion imparts to the skin are a renewed, smoother tone and texture, a reduction in surface imperfections, and an increase in the skin’s natural collagen production, which is the body’s innate response to the treatment’s gentle scraping of the skin’s outermost layer. This means that the results of a microdermabrasion treatment will continue to improve the condition of your skin over time, due to increased collagen production in your skin cells.
Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for use among healthy adult individuals with most skin types. The procedure is especially suitable for those who wish to treat the following skin conditions:
The FDA initially approved Microdermabrasion treatments in 1996, and hundreds of variations in microdermabrasion devices have been developed since then. The procedure is performed by various means, depending on the device that is used.
Microdermabrasion is an outpatient procedure performed in the comfort of the doctor’s office, and it usually takes no more than one hour to complete the treatment. Microdermabrasion is typically performed by licensed skincare or health professional and is a painless treatment requiring no anesthesia or numbing agent.
Microdermabrasion may produce reactions such as mild redness, tenderness, and swelling that will typically subside on their own within a few hours after treatment.
Your skin will also be more sensitive to sunlight after microdermabrasion, so you must take extra care to protect it from excessive exposure to the sun’s rays. Using a top-quality moisturizer and sunscreen is essential to maintaining your skin’s health and glow.
