Over the years, a skin-care technique named microdermabrasion has grown in popularity. A patient can have this done for relatively little cost, and it is noninvasive and is not painful. 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. The procedure actually makes it easier for your skin care products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen which gives skin its youthful appearance.
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.
The crystal microdermabrasion device consists of a compressor that draws in air through a hand-held wand. A vacuum is produced as the wand makes contact with a patient's skin. While the directed aluminum oxide crystals move over the skin, dead skin cells are dislodged during the process. The crystals and dead skin cells are quickly sucked up through a different tube in the same wand.
Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses the same vacuum technology and hand-held wand, but there aren't any crystals moving through the tip. Similarly, a vacuum is used but this time, the diamond tip does the work of dislodging the dead skin cells. 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 effects of this process are already very striking, and if the technician is skilled and experienced, it is even better. Multiple treatments are usually suggested in order to get the most from this technique, skin texture and type will determine how many are needed. 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. The first treatments usually bring very positive results and make a patient happy, but to make sure all issues with skin complexion are addressed, more sessions are typically needed. It is generally advised to follow up with regular maintenance treatments every 3-4 months. And because the machine can be adjusted depending on skin type and condition, even people with sensitive skin can get a treatment from a skilled professional.
Side effects do result at times from microdermabrasion, although they are usually minimal from this non-surgical treatment. 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. Mild abrasions sometimes occur, and at times even a bit of bleeding. Risks are very small from microdermabrasion, the materials used are not harmful at all, and there is practically no risk that is associated with these procedures. This process is considered to be very safe, especially when you compare it to chemical agents or laser processes.
