Reading Microdermabrasion - Microdermabrasion Treatment

The process of cell renewal (exfoliation) is a natural process but slows with age and the effects of the environment. Even removal of the superficial dead cells thickens the epidermis and increases the production of new skin cells along with the production of collagen and elastin.

Microdermabrasion was developed in Europe many years ago and has been an acceptable skin treatment procedure in the United States for a few years.

Aluminum oxide crystals are projected onto the skin in a safe and uniform manner to painlessly exfoliate layers of the epidermis. These crystals, along with dead skin cells, are vacuumed into a closed filter container and discarded. A control gauge allows for increased vacuum for a more aggressive peel and decrease vacuum for a more gentle peel.

Microdermabrasion leaves your skin smooth and clean with mild erythema (redness). Blackheads are loosened, whiteheads become unsurfaced, hyperpigmentation lightens, acne scars lighten, and enlarged pores and fine wrinkles become less prominent.

Blood, containing oxygen and nutrients, is drawn to the surface to feed and repair cells. The process of microdermabrasion should be approached in a series of at least six peels in order to get a lasting effect. The patient will be treated every week or every two weeks depending of the aggressiveness of the peel. A proper skin care program with microdermabrasion is imperative for long lasting improvement in the skin.
