Microdermabrasion review

 

Microdermabrasion is one of the more recent skin-care techniques. It's being advanced as an "instant facelift" – an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels and Botox injections. 

 

Microdermabrasion, also known as microderm and it is one of the easiest and most effective anti-aging treatments. Its benefits are many: microderm softens fine lines and wrinkles, helps to smooth coarsely textured skin, decreases the appearance of scarring, decreases pore size, and reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, also known as age spots. 

 

Microdermabrasion is a general term for the application of tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of skin. Skin is made up of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. 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 is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through. When you put lotions or creams on your skin, some of the moisture passes through the stratum corneum, but not all of it. This layer is home to many minor skin imperfections like blemishes and wrinkle lines. 

 

Microdermabrasion is essentially powerful mechanical exfoliation with an expensive machine, generally either the original crystal microdermabrasion technology or the newer diamond-tip microdermabrasion. It is a cosmetic technique that uses a mechanical medium for exfoliation to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the epidemis.

 

Microdermabrasion has evolved from stones and shells to crystals, particle-free diamond tips. Once the desired amount of exfoliation has been reached, some microdermabrasion units will then infuse a skin specific solution into the skin.

Microdermabrasion also makes it easier for high-tech skin care products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance. 

 

The crystal microdermabrasion device consists of a compressor that draws in air through a hand-held wand. When the wand touches the skin, a vacuum is created. Aluminum oxide crystals, also known as corundum (the second-hardest mineral next to diamonds) blast across the skin’s surface, picking up dead surface skin cells along the way. The crystals and dead skin cells are quickly sucked up through a different tube in the same wand and go to a disposal bag. 

The depth of exfoliation is controlled by the strength of the vacuum and crystal flow, which is determined by esthetician. 

 

Cautions on Microdermabrasion: 

 

• Do not get microdermabrasion if you have extremely sensitive skin, diabetes, vascular conditions like rosacea, skin inflammation, bacterial infections.

 

• Apply sunscreen and stay out of the sun after your treatment. Along with the dead skin cells, you have removed some of your protection
