When you have a conversation
with someone, you want them
to pay attention to what you
have to say. What happens
too often is that your skin
gets more attention than what
you have to say. If your skin
is showing signs of aging
or if you have a few disfiguring
blemishes, you may feel self-conscious
and become uncomfortable when
someone is close enough to
see your skin imperfections.
There are an abundance of
treatment measures to help
you get the healthy skin you
desire. Microdermabrasion
is one way you can improve
your skin.
Microdermabrasion improves
the skin with a very simple
process. A skin specialist
or you (if you use a home
microdermabrasion kit) take
a wand filled with tiny aluminum
oxide and vitamin C crystals,
and using a control on the
wand, spread the crystals
across the skin. This action
is just abrasive enough to
remove the skin's keratin
layer (dead skin). The skin
naturally removes this layer
in about 4 weeks. With microdermabrasion
dead skin is removed in a
more evenly manner an in less
than an hour. Depending on
the condition of the skin,
a chemical peel may also be
used with microdermabrasion.
When you want to improve your
skin, there are many reasons
to choose microdermabrasion.
Most importantly, it is safe.
Many skin treatments require
anesthesia and have significant
side effects. Microdermabrasion
is so safe that you can purchase
a home kit and do it yourself.
The possible side effects
are minor and include redness
and slight swelling. You will
only need to apply a light
moisturizer after the treatment.
Microdermabrasion is for all
skin types. Whether your skin
is oily, sensitive, or fair,
you can experience excellent
results with microdermasion.
Another benefit of microdermabrasion
is that it won't irritate
sensitive skin.
Removing keratin from the
skin can have an incredible
effect on the skin. People
with fine lines or wrinkles
and those with minor acne
scars are generally those
who seek microdermabrasion.
However, the most dramatic
results occur in people with
skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation is characterized
by skin with dark patches.
Once you have microdermabrasion
performed, you are not completely
out of the woods, as far as
your skin is concerned. In
most cases, you will have
to have a few follow-up sessions.
While people with acne will
need fewer subsequent treatments,
people with fine lines or
wrinkles will have to continue
the treatments on a regular
basis. If you are performing
microdermabrasion yourself,
be sure to consult with a
skin specialist for recommendations
for a skin program to make
sure your skin remains in
a healthy condition.
In some cases, microdermabrasion
might not be suitable. People
who have active forms of rosacea,
acne, warts, herpes, and reduced
immune systems should not
have microdermabrasion. In
addition, people who have
undiagnosed skin conditions,
or have taken the acne medication
Accutane, and those who are
prone to cold sores should
consult with their doctor
before having a microdermabrasion.
