When considering a new facial treatment, it can be difficult to decide if it is right for you. Learning more about microdermabrasion will hopefully help you to decide if it’s something you would consider.
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure for getting rid of acne scars, sunspots, and fine wrinkles. The treatment involves sandblasting the top layer of skin with a special handheld wand which emits aluminum oxide micro crystals. No lasers or chemicals are used. The treatment stimulates collagen production which helps the skin to rejuvenate more quickly after the procedure.
Before the treatment the skin is cleansed with a special gel. The practitioner places a hand-held device against the skin and moves it in lines over the entire face. As the aluminum oxide micro crystals are flowing the device also vacuums up the dead skin cells and used crystals. After the treatment skin is soothed with a special cooling gel.
Microdermabrasion is designed to get rid of or lessen the appearance of superficial acne scars, blotchy skin, white and blackheads, large pores and age or sunspots. It can also help to even the skin tone. All types of skin can be treated but it’s best to go for a consultation before considering the treatment.
