Microdermabrasion Benefits

Among different skin care procedures, microdermabrasion has quickly become one of the most popular. If you are still uncertain what it is all about, or if this treatment is right for you, below is an overview of the microderamabrasion benefits.

In simple words, microdermabrasion treatment basically sands off the outer layer of your skin with the help of micro crystals. A dermabrasion crème contains a combination of such ingredients as magnesium oxide,  sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and aluminum oxide. The procedure is considered to be very mild, doesn’t require anesthesia, or too much time to perform the therapy. Since a lot of different dermabrasion products have emerged in the market in recent years for home use, this treatment doesn’t have to be performed in an aesthetician or dermatologist office any more. Many people refer to it as the “lunchtime facelift” or the “instant facelift” as it can be done during your lunch break, if you so wish.

So, what are the benefits of microdermabrasion? When you are sanding off your skin with an abrasive crème and an applicator, you are removing the outer layer of the epidermis, thus encouraging skin cell renewal. Dermabrasion increases blood circulation and moisture consumption. Remember, the dead skin, if not regularly removed, hinders the passage of water molecules into your skin making it look dull and unhealthy.

As dermabrasion removes the stratum corneum (outer layer), it increases moisture absorption and the absorption of all the vitamins and antioxidants that come with your daily skin care products. This treatment is great for eliminating fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and even acne, all of which reside in that outer layer that you are removing with the treatment. Your skin looks more radiant and supple.

You will find a lot of at home microdermabrasion systems in the market. Some of them are better than others, with many of them being as effective as having a procedure done in a dermatologist clinic. Always proceed with caution when introducing your skin to a new abrasive product or system. If you have a very delicate skin, you still might want to consult a dermatologist before you go ahead with the therapy.

Among some contraindications are such skin conditions as dermatitis and eczema. If you are in one of those situations, you’d better stay away from microdermabrasion. Talk to your doctor about other options that may be available to you. It is also not recommended if you have one of the following disorders:  psoriasis, skin lesions, open sores, herpes, warts, severe or widespread acne,   vascular lesions and weak capillaries, and active rosacea.

A general recommendation is that one should start with a microdermabrasion system that preferably includes natural ingredients only. The actual results will definitely surprise you!
