There is a method for rejuvenation of the skin that is gaining acceptance in recent years called microdermabrasion. This noninvasive treatment is painless, and most of all, affordable. It has also been an attractive alternative for those not quite ready for facial injections, laser procedures or cosmetic surgeries.
Microdermabrasion can soften fine lines and wrinkles, decrease pore size, help smooth coarsely textured skin, reduce superficial hyper-pigmentation (age spots), and decrease the appearance of scarring. Collagen growth will be stimulated as skin creams can permeate deeper, and this will be something that makes the skin look brighter and more radiant.
Skin is exfoliated using specially designed equipment for the microdermabrasion process. This will result in the removal of dead skin cells that have accumulated on the top layer of the skin.
A compressor is used to suck air through a wand that is hand-held, as part of the crystal microdermabrasion equipment. As the skin is touched by the wand, the result is a vacuum effect. While the directed aluminum oxide crystals move over the skin, dead skin cells are dislodged during the process. A separate tube on the wand simply sucks the air along with the dead skin cells and crystals into the machine.
Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses the same vacuum technology and hand-held wand, but there aren't any crystals moving through the tip. The dead skin cells are removed buy the diamond tip in this technique, and then vacuumed up the same way. There are many different tips with various grades of roughness, chosen specifically for your skin type and condition. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is less uncomfortable, but achieves the same results as crystal microdermabrasion. For sensitive skin, this is the more beneficial option.
Microdermabrasion can achieve dramatic results, but it is highly dependent on the skill of the technician. Multiple treatments are usually suggested in order to get the most from this technique, skin texture and type will determine how many are needed. How a patient responds to the initial treatment will help to direct the provider to complete a plan that will deliver the results needed with the correct amount of visits to achieve the expected effect. Patients in many cases are delighted after they see the effects that the first session brings, but for a comprehensive treatment for all skin concerns, more visits are usually necessary. In most cases, every several months a patient should have another session in order to have the effects be ongoing. An expert treatment provider will know how to set up the equipment in the proper way, according to the skin type, so that patients with overly sensitive skin can also take advantage of this technique.
This is a safe, non-surgical, and highly demanded process, but it does not mean that side effects from microdermabrasion are not possible occasionally. Some skin trauma does occur at times since it blasts crystals at the skin at a high rate of speed, this does have a reaction but it's not long lasting. Skin sensitivity sometimes occurs, along with minimal bruising and skin can be slightly red and tight feeling. In a few short hours, these slight side effects will dissipate. Other side effects can be tiny skin abrasions and small bleeding spots. Anaesthetics are not necessary with microdermabrasion, no dangerous chemicals are involved on the sensitive skin on your face, and there are minimal risks involved. This process is much easier on the skin and safer than facial peels that involve chemicals or lasers.
