Microdermabrasion – What is it and the Benefits?

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive and safe procedure to help minimize fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and improve texture.

A licensed skin care professional performs this pain-free, 30-minute procedure without anesthetics or any additional anesthesia.

It is a non-invasive procedure

Microdermabrasion involves having a specialist use a brush-like diamond tip on your skin to loosen dead cells before sucking them away with suction. It’s a non-painful procedure with no downtime required; some people may experience slight redness or tenderness, which usually subsides after several hours.

This procedure can help improve uneven skin tone and texture, large pores, blackheads, uneven pigmentation, rosacea, scarring, fine lines, and melasma. By extracting dead skin cells while stimulating new cell growth, the treatment leaves your complexion healthier and more radiant than before.

Microdermabrasion can also help diminish age spots, freckles and other discolorations on your skin, including acne blemishes or other conditions. After microdermabrasion treatment it is vital to use sunscreen to protect newly formed skin from UV radiation; you should also avoid products containing microbeads, crushed fruit pits or apricot kernels which could harm it further – gentle cleansers and moisturizers should also be utilized post procedure for optimal results.

It removes dead skin cells

Microdermabrasion involves having a skin care specialist use a hand piece that emits microcrystals onto your face in a spray of small crystals with an abrasive surface, to gently and safely lift away dead skin cells, oil, and dirt that have embedded themselves into your pores, uneven skin tone and fine lines as well as prevent further melanin production which leads to hyperpigmentation. This treatment also has anti-aging effects.

Microdermabrasion treatments are painless, so you needn’t be concerned with discomfort after treatment. However, redness or tenderness may occur afterward but this should fade within an hour or so.

Microdermabrasion treatments should be scheduled every week or monthly; an ideal interval between sessions should be seven-10 days to allow your skin to recover and improve. Consistency is key if you want to see results – following a course of treatments, your skin should become noticeably smoother while also becoming softer and brighter as well as being more responsive to sunscreen applications.

It reduces fine lines

Microdermabrasion is a safe, painless non-invasive procedure used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by exfoliating dead skin cells that lead to their formation. Furthermore, this treatment promotes new cell growth that smoothes them out further. Microdermabrasion works on all skin colors and types; it is particularly useful in cases such as dull sallow complexion, rough texture, mild acne scarring or dehydration and dehydrated dry skin conditions.

At a salon, this treatment takes place. You are typically seated on a reclining chair with your eyes covered, while a specialist uses a handheld device containing tiny crystals or diamond-tipped wands to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells from your face using tiny crystal sprays or diamond tips sprayed from a handheld device sprayed across it using tiny crystal sprayers; loosen skin is then suctioned off before being moisturized for best results.

Microdermabrasion can also help minimize hyperpigmentation, including sun spots and other pigment changes, by slowing melanin production. However, excessive or overaggressive treatments should be avoided as this could result in redness and small scabs called ecchymoses forming on your skin.

It improves skin texture

Skin is an amazing organ, subjected to daily assault from sun exposure, dirt and environmental pollutants that lead to spots, scarring and wrinkles that have an adverse impact on its appearance. There are various treatments that can improve its look; one of the safest is microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive way of exfoliation that does not interfere with daily life or work activities, meaning most can return directly back to work after receiving their session. A session typically lasts 30-60 minutes depending on the area being treated; you may experience a slight scratching sensation and vibration as part of the procedure.

Microdermabrasion can provide relief for many skin issues, including dullness, fine lines and wrinkles, mild acne and enlarged pores. Furthermore, it may reduce dark spots while evening out your complexion and texture. However, sensitive or rosacea-prone individuals should note that this process may irritate them during treatment.
