Microdermabrasion- Beauty Treatment At Home

Microdermabrasion uses very tiny particles that are thrown across the skin to remove dead and superficial skin cells. This process is practically painless and lasts for about half an hour. This procedure is used mainly to treat superficial aberrations of epidermis and give a new glow to skin. The blown off particles are collected by vacuum. You can immediately go back to work.

Microdermabrasion may be performed at the doctor's clinic and also at salons. Salons use low power machines while physicians use high power machines. Microdermabrasion machines that can be used at home are also available now. Let us find out more about Microdermabrasion.

Effect Of Microdermabrasion:

You can expect removal of some uneven skin colors, superficial hyper pigmentation, dead skin cells, superficial stretch marks and fine facial lines. Also expect softening of acne scars that are saucer type and opening of blackheads. This procedure will not make any change to skin damage that is deep. It should not be used on keloid forming skin and also on ice-pick acne scars, actinic keratoses and skin cancers.

Procedure:

Your doctor can perform Microdermabrasion with high power machines that will give deeper effect than the machines commonly used by the salons. The procedure generally lasts for about half an hour and weekly sittings for many weeks are required to get results. The procedure is painless and you will get some feeling of the particles touching your skin. The tiny particles that are used in Microdermabrasion are those of Aluminium Oxide. The particles are not reused. In deeper microdermabrasion, you may see some redness for some time.

Don't expect any miraculous results with Microdermabrasion. Combined with topical therapy of retinoids or other skin treatment molecules, prescribed by your doctor, you may expect a new glow to your skin, with some fine lines disappearing and some smoothening of superficial scars. Check if the crystals are not being reused and ask about the inhalation possibility of aluminium oxide crystals. As said before, if you are prone to keloids, talk to your doctor about it before you get microdermabrasion performed.
