Microdermabrasion: Do You Need It? by Mamagidi(f): 12:36pm On Oct 21, 2015
Microdermabrasion, ever heard that word before? Probably. But do you even know what it is? It is true that there is a procedure called micro dermabrasion. It is a cosmetic treatment in which the face is sprayed with exfoliant crystals to remove dead epidermal cells. It is a method for improving the nature and texture of the skin on the face. And yes! It is one of the best methods discussed with a dermatologists.

Why Should I Do Microdermabrasion?

- It exfoliates the skin.
As said earlier, it is a procedure that sheds and removes the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells.

- It polishes the skin.
By using a range of fine crystals, it gives the skin a new glow. Some microdermabrasion systems have suction to vacuum dead epidermal cells from the face.

- It is effective for melasma patients.
According to an American dermatologist, Heidi Waldorf, melasma patients do well with microabrasion. Melasma is a form of pigmentation caused by a combination of hormones, ultraviolet light and inflammation, which can also be aggravated by a slight irritation. A combination of microdermabrasion with other treatments can put melasma in check.

Can I Get a Microdermabrasion at Home?

There are majorly three places you can get a micro abrasion: at home, at your dermatologist’s or in the spa.
You can do microdermabrasion at home. It is the cheapest and requires that you do it daily/weekly. However, the devices used at a dermatologist’s have larger motors and more power. They penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver precise exfoliation.

Though, in-office treatments are expensive, the treatments are often scheduled at 1-2 months interval. In-office treatments are also safe because they are carried out by experts.

A spa treatment may be good as well. The only issue is – do they sterilise their instruments? While treatments at the dermatologist’s are carried out with precise care and sterilised instruments; it might not be the same at a spa.
If you must do it at a spa, ensure their instruments are properly sterilised to avoid you getting an infection.

Is Microdermabrasion Painful?

No! Your skin may get red after the procedure for a few hours, a calming moisturizer settles that. If your skin is highly sensitive [dermatographism], an oral antihistamine may help reduce the reaction. Microdermabrasion smoothes the skin, evens skin tone and helps clear whiteheads faster. But it does not clear wrinkles, dark brown spots, growths and redness.

Just seeing your message, sorry. Microdermabrasion helps clear acne. In combination with glycolic peels (made from sugar cane), they help unclog pores (that cause acne) and clear acne scars.

Using at home Microdermabrasion Crystals for exfoliating skin is much affordable then often checking in to spa. We have recently checked out this one in 1 lb, contains 99.41 pure white aluminum oxide.
