A member of the resurfacing family, micrdoermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure which is fast, safe and easy to administer. It makes use of tiny crystals which lifts off layers of old, tired and damaged skin. It boosts the production of new skin cells by gently exfoliating and resurfacing skin, which in effect will give you a smoother and clearer complexion. More commonly performed on the face and neck, it can also be done on other areas of the body such as the back of the hands and works most effectively for those who want to fight off early signs of aging.

Aside from rejuvenating and improving the skin from the noticeable signs of aging and sun damage, microdermabrasion can also be used to reduce or correct uneven pigmentation, mild cases of acne scarring, whiteheads and blackheads as well as improve the appearance of rough skin, fine lines, age spots and large pores. Moreover, microdermabrasion can be used for all skin types and tones and can even be repeated once in a week.

Getting a microdermabrasion may require you to stop intake of medications such as aspirin and Accutane. If you have had a history of fever blisters or cold sores, you may be advised to take anti-viral medication in order to prevent them from occurring post-treatment.

Procedure in a microdermabrasion is fast and simple. After the skin is cleansed, the doctor uses a handheld instrument that is similar to a dentist’s polishing device. This inctrument contains tiny crystals that slough off the layers of dead and damaged skin in a sandblasting action.

Microdermabrasion has been coined with the term “lunchtime peel’ because treatment is relatively speedy in terms of procedure and recovery. It only takes around 15-30 minutes for a microdermabrasion treatment and you can easily return to normal activities immediately after procedure. Women can even put on make-up right after treatment. Microdermabrasion is best for those who are always on the go and have no time to fend to recover from other cosmetic procedures, as in dermabrasion, chemical peels and laser resurfacing.

However, its benefits are only limited to giving the skin a more refreshed, rejuvenated glow as well improving its texture and quality. The extent of skin condition may require you to couple microdermabrasion or replace it with other resurfacing treatments that provide more powerful results. Microdermabrasion cannot improve or correct the appearance of skin that is sagging, loose or is deeply wrinkled. In addition, it does not pose serious complications but its degree of sensitivity may vary from person to person.

Microdermabrasion’s fast, safe and easy nature has now already brought the onset of at home microdermabrasion treatments and products that offer results similar with getting a doctor-administered microdermabrasion. This now makes it easy for you to get a microdermabrasion right in a jar or better yet, administer your own treatment right in the comfort of your home. But if you think that nothing beats the grandeur of getting a treatment inside a doctor’s clinic, always make sure that you get a licensed practitioner that is qualified for the treatment.

Experiencing youthful, glowing and beautiful skin is just within your reach with microdermabrasion. Give it a go, give it a try.
