Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion
is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to
remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger,
healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive,
skin resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates or polishes away the top
layer of dead skin cells, while stimulating collagen growth, to reveal healthy
new skin that looks and feels smoother. Fine lines, blemishes, dull skin and
sun spots can be improved, especially with regular treatments. Products such as
moisturizers, creams and lotions are more easily absorbed and therefore more
effective after microdermabrasion treatment. This is a painless, low-risk skin
treatment that can be added to your beauty routine.
The
technologies used today are either specialized tools that shoot a stream
of tiny crystals, or a diamon-tipped wand. Both aim to remove the Stratum corneum. Diamond
and Crystal dermabrasion have their unique pros and cons but at the hands of a good operator you will get
similar results.
The treatment of
microdermabrasion can be performed by a physician, a nurse, aesthetician, or
other trained medical personnel. It is recommended for patients to consult a
dermatologist or medical aesthetician before starting any resurfacing
treatment. Careful evaluation on the patient's skin for changes in texture,
severity of photoaging, depth of scarring, and the type of skin from a
specialist will help patients select the proper resurfacing modality in order
to address the skin.
Skin Anatomy
The skin can be divided into 3 major layers:
·
Epidermis
- The outer, barrier layer consisting mainly of dead skin cells
·
Dermis
- The middle layer that contains the structural parts of the skin including
collagen and elastic tissue
·
Subcutaneous
tissue - The bottom layer that contains fat and larger blood vessels
blems
effectively.
Microdermabrasion Work
Your
skin is constantly shedding dead cells to make room for growth and to clear
toxins. However, some cells stay on the surface of the skin and can cause a
dull or rough appearance. Microdermabrasion works by scraping or blasting these
cells away to clean and rejuvenate your skin. There is actually a fourth, false
layer of skin that you have. This layer (referred to as the stratum corneum) is
where small wrinkle and lines begin to form before they dig deeper into the
layers of your skin.
The false layer of skin should be
removed as it can prevent the skin from breathing properly and reduce the
effectiveness of other methods of skin treatment. Microdermabrasion's sole
purpose is to remove this layer of skin while leaving the lower layers
unaffecting. Of course, in professional settings, microdermabrasion can go even
deeper to remove scar tissue and stretch marks.
The vacuum used during
microdermabrasion is employed for several reasons:
·
It isolates a certain section of your skin
for deeper cleaning (like a vacuum cleaner attachment).
·
It can also serve to raise unwanted cells and
impurities from the lower layers of your skin.
·
It allows the crystals to work solely on the
isolated section of the skin and makes treatment sessions shorter.
·
It collects and disposes of any materials
that are freed from the skin.
Microdermabrasion for
Anti Aging
From
minimizing fine lines to improving your pores, microdermabrasion provides many
benefits. It is one of the three most commonly performed dermatology treatments
in the United States, and its relatively low cost makes it a practical choice
for patients with minor skin problems and early signs of aging.
This advanced treatment can be used
as a stand-alone maintenance treatment or upgraded as a booster treatment to
most relaxation facials. For best results, we recommend a series of gentle
Micro treatments, with treatments scheduled 7-10 days apart. Each
procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to perform and there is no downtime
for the skin to recover.
One of the most important benefits
of Microdermabrasion is its anti-ageing effect. Treated areas show visible
improvements in the tone, texture, and colour of skin. Microdermabrasion can
also provides excellent results for the following conditions:
Ø
Softens fine lines and wrinkles
Ø
Helps smooth coarsely textured skin
Ø
Decreases the appearance of acne and
acne scars
Ø
Blackheads and whiteheads
Ø
Minimize enlarged and open pore
Ø
Dull, stressed or congested skin
Ø
Sun-damaged skin
Ø
Reduces superficial
hyper-pigmentation (age spots)
Ø
Skin Pigmentation
Ø
Increased product penetration
Microdermabrasion
help with Acne Scars
Microdermabrasion
may be very useful for people with active acne, mild acne discoloration, pick
marks, and very superficial or raised acne scars. Dermatologists use microdermabrasion
to help unclog pores and clear acne. Often used in combination with gentle
glycolic peels and medical acne extractions, microderm can help speed up acne
clearing.
Individuals with deeper acne scars may expect
a much longer series of treatments
One of the most
common side effects of microdermabrasion is redness of the skin or treated
area. This is caused by the treatment; as the crystals begin to rub away at the
skin and remove dead particles, the skin can become irritated and red. The redness
can be worse in people who have existing skin problems with acne. Acne bumps or
open sores may become more irritated and reddened after the procedure. Areas
with acne that is cystic or weeping with blood, pus or fluid should be avoided
and treatment revisited once the skin has healed. If the microdermabrasion is
being used to treat common acne, purging can occur. This is where the pores
open up in response to treatment and can cause the acne to temporarily get
worse. As the skin repairs itself, the acne outbreak should also resolve within
a week. Rarely, redness is caused from an allergic reaction or sensitivity to
the crystals or the friction of the treatment.
Before having a treatment done, you'll want to be aware of
the possible side effects of microdermabrasion. (The technician doing your
treatment will fill you in on the possible side effects too.)
·
Redness is the most common side
effect. Usually, it's similar to a mild sunburn. For most people, the redness
fades after just a few hours.
·
Dryness or flakiness in the days
following a microdermabrasion treatment isn't unusual, and typically resolves
within a week. If you have very oily skin, you might welcome the fact that your
skin isn't as oily as usual.
·
Microdermabrasion also can increase
your sensitivity to the sun (photosensitivity).
Make sure to wear your sunscreen!
Because microdermabrasion works only on the superficial
layers of the skin, serious side effects are very rare. Your risk is very small
if your microdermabrasion treatment is being done by a skilled and
conscientious technician.
The
greatest advantage of microdermabrasion is that there is no recovery time for
this treatment, so the patient can perform his daily activities immediately
after the treatment. Also, microdermabrasion is a completely painless procedure
and the patient can see the result immediately after the treatment.
The low cost
and safe nature of microdermabrasion makes it a very viable method of skin
treatment. Scars and stretch marks can also be readily removed in a medical
setting. However, the applications of microdermabrasion are generally in the
upkeep and prevention category rather than the actual treatment of skin conditions.
You do not need to see a doctor before beginning a microdermabrasion program
but a professional may be required for more intense sessions.
Consider whether the value of
prevention techniques outweighs the cost of later skin treatment methods when
deciding whether or not you would like to invest in a microdermabrasion
treatment. With home methods available at lower prices than many other
treatments, you can try several products or types of microdermabrasion before
investing in more expensive medical treatments.
While you may not see immediate
results, avoiding a chemical peel at a later point may make microdermabrasion a
logical skin treatment method. Coupled with the low cost, if you are looking to
perform a skin treatment procedure that will provide reasonable results and can
be performed fairly quickly, microdermabrasion may be right for you.
