How Microdermabrasion Exfoliates Your Skin

Are you tired of buying exfoliating facial washes with little to no difference made on your skin? Have you tried high-powered, minimally-invasive exfoliating treatments, such as chemical peels that left your face red and raw? If you are looking for a treatment that effectively exfoliates your face without leaving horrible side effects, then microdermabrasion may be the right choice for you.

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment that uses abrasive particles along with a handheld device to blast away the dead cells from the surface of your skin. It does a far better job at exfoliation than over-the-counter products applied with the hand do. Plus, the suction-like vacuum in the handheld device sucks away abrasive materials and old skin cells during the process to create an even deeper clean.

This is a simple, quick, and effective process that requires virtually no downtime. While your skin may be a bit red for about an hour or two after the procedure, you will not have to change your normal activities or stay away from work.

The best benefits from microdermabrasion appear within several days to weeks following the initial treatment. New skin cells are made through the natural healing processes within your skin. As they grow and rise to the surface, your skin will begin to look younger, smoother, and brighter. In fact, many patients use microdermabrasion to get rid of hyperpigmentation associated with sun damage and other age spots.

During the microdermabrasion procedure, you should remain perfectly comfortable the entire time. You will feel the abrasive material, which is usually aluminum oxide, brushing against your face as well as light suction. The entire microdermabrasion treatment should last a half hour or less depending on the treated surface area.

While you may think of microdermabrasion as only being used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin tone, and hyperpigmentation, it can also be used for other common skin complaints. It can clear out clogged pores in those with acne. It can also treat enlarged pores, stretch marks, mild scars, and leathery skin. Following the treatment, your topical products will have far better penetration through the new skin cells.
