Microdermabrasion can help your skin problems!

The Microdermabrasion Procedure The top layers of the skin, called the "epidermis," are continually regenerating themselves. As new cells are created, they push the older, dead cells up and eventually off the body. Microdermabrasion treatment helps remove old skin cells and damaged skin layers to reveal a fresher, more youthful complexion. The microdermabrasion procedure is simple and effective, and it can rejuvenate your skin's appearance in a short time with little or no discomfort. How Microdermabrasion Treatment Works During a microdermabrasion treatment, the specialist directs a stream of tiny ("micro") aluminum oxide crystals through a hand piece that is placed against the skin. These dermabrasion crystals exfoliate the skin, and the mild suction created by the microdermabrasion system removes the skin debris and crystals. Microdermabrasion helps produce thicker, healthier skin layers; multiple treatments are vital because they encourage the production of a new layer of skin cells that contains higher levels of collagen and elastin. Both of these components are essential for vibrant, healthy skin, and they will further improve your complexion and the overall appearance of your skin. Approximately five to twelve treatments spaced one to two weeks apart are usually necessary to reap the full benefits of Microdermabrasion. Convenient and virtually painless, the microdermabrasion procedure takes only 30 to 60 minutes and is commonly referred to as the "lunch hour facial." Why do patients have the microdermabrasion procedure? Microdermabrasion is a very popular cosmetic procedure. It is, in fact, the second most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed today. (We know that you're curious. The #1 non-surgical cosmetic procedure is BOTOX® injections.) Why should I have microdermabrasion? If you have small wrinkles and fine age lines, microdermabrasion may be for you. Microdermabrasion can be used to treat acne scars, age spots and the fine lines that may be present at the outside of a patient's eyes (crow's feet.) Microdermabrasion is ideally suited for a person who has aged skin or skin that has been damaged by overexposure to the sun. Microdermabrasion treatments polish and soften the skin, reducing fine lines on the face. The process is used to treat areas subject to fine lines and wrinkles. Most often, the eyes the cheeks, the forehead, and the area around the mouth. In addition to fighting lines and wrinkles, dermabrasion can help to smooth and reduce the prominence of pigment problems like age spots, brown spots, and melanosis. Microdermabrasion for acne Since microdermabrasion provides a very deep level of exfoliation, it is sometimes used to treat acne. When used for acne, microdermabrasion is done in concert with deep suction to unclog the patient's pores. Is the Microdermabrasion Procedure Painful? The microdermabrasion procedure exfoliates dead cells from the skin's surface. While it is not painful, the treatment can cause a slight warming sensation as the abrasive microdermabrasion crystals gently slough away old and damaged layers of skin. Some patients have likened the experience to having a facial massage. After a microdermabrasion treatment, the newly revealed layer of skin is usually more sensitive and requires extra protection from the sun. You should not feel uncomfortable, but you should be particularly careful about wearing sunscreens. Applying moisturizing creams to hydrate and calm the skin can also prevent any potential irritation. A good microdemabrasion specialist, aesthetician, registered nurse, or dermatologist will be able to suggest a facial cream or lotion that is best suited for your skin type. Microdermabrasion treatment is one of the most effective ways to reduce minor sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and other mild complexion problems. The microdermabrasion procedure has become increasingly popular due to its ability to aesthetically improve the skin in a short amount of time. How much will I pay for microdermabrasion?
