What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a popular cosmetic procedure because it is effective, affordable, and convenient. It works on both the outer layer of the skin (called the epidermis) as well as the deep layer of the skin (the dermis).

The epidermis is the layer most exposed to environmental elements. It’s a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer of the epidermis is called the stratum corneum. The effects of microdermabrasion all take place at the stratum corneum level, which is home to many minor skin imperfections like fine lines and blemishes.

Microdermabrasion Benefits

Microdermabrasion Benefits

Microdermabrasion can help treat a variety of common skin issues and concerns, including:

  • Acne
  • Acne scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Age spots
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Light scars

In addition to this, microdermabrasion can also help stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen helps tighten and strengthen the skin, which helps smooth the skin’s surface for a more youthful and radiant appearance. Many people receive a microdermabrasion facial multiple times a year to maintain the beauty of their facial skin.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion is a term to describe the application of tiny, rough grains to scrape away the surface layers of skin. This skincare treatment is an effective alternative to more invasive and costly procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels, and injections. However, the treatment is also helpful in preparation for more involved facial procedures.

The procedure is quite simple, beginning with applying a calming gel or foam to cleanse the skin of dirt and oil. The medical professional then applies the microdermabrasion tool to the skin. This tool is filled with tiny crystals or diamonds to exfoliate the top layers of skin cells.

What to Expect After Your Microdermabrasion Treatment?

What to Expect After Your Microdermabrasion Treatment?

After removing the outermost layer of the skin, the healing process involves the production of new skin cells to replace the old ones, leaving clients with a smoother-looking appearance to their skin.

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, and there is no downtime or recovery period required. Post-treatment recommendations include applying a moisturizer to the treated areas to help keep the skin hydrated and nourished, which helps prolong the results of the treatment.
