The Non Invasive Process Known as Microdermabrasion

By Mats Sumellin


Microdermabrasion is a skin enhancement procedure that is becoming more well known over time. It is an economical solution that is noninvasive and does not cause pain for the recipient. It has also been an attractive alternative for those not quite ready for facial injections, laser procedures or cosmetic surgeries.

There is a lot that microdermabrasion can do, including lessening the appearance of age spots (hyperpigmentation), reduce scars, even out rough skin, make pores smaller, and lessen wrinkles and lines on the face. 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.

Microdermabrasion is a powerful exfoliation performed with special equipment. This process removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the skin.

A compressor is used to suck air through a wand that is hand-held, as part of the crystal microdermabrasion equipment. When the wand touches the skin, a vacuum is created. Dead skin cells are removed from the top layers of the skin as they collide with the aluminum oxide crystals. A separate tube on the wand simply sucks the air along with the dead skin cells and crystals into the machine.

There is also another type of microdermabrasion that uses a diamond-tip and a vacuum, but crystals are not necessary for this kind. 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 a patient with sensitive skin, it makes more sense.

The skill of the treatment provider can improve upon the already significant effects of microdermabrasion. For skin that is rougher, more treatments will be required for the desired effect, and in most cases several treatments are necessary. After the first treatment is completed, a clearer picture of the overall treatment process will be planned out, and implemented, depending on skin condition among other factors. Most people are very pleased with the initial results of their first treatment session, but it may take several sessions to address all of the problems and issues with your complexion. For the treatments to provide long lasting results, every few months a session should be scheduled. 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.

Side effects do result at times from microdermabrasion, although they are usually minimal from this non-surgical treatment. As mentioned, the microdermabrasion treatment sandblasts the skin which will slightly traumatize it and create a reaction. 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. Skin microdermabrasion treatments have little risk for clients, require no anaesthesia and there are no harmful chemicals being used on your delicate facial skin. This process is much easier on the skin and safer than facial peels that involve chemicals or lasers.
