Microdermabrasion:
Microdermabrasion appears to be the
buzz word in skin care at the moment. Microdermabrasion has been
referred to as "sandblasting
the face" which seems a little drastic but rather an apt
description. Microdermabrasion is available as a salon treatment
which involves the use of some pretty hi-tech equipment. These
machines fire a spray of tiny particles onto the skin, this produces
a gentle abrasive action which removes the dead, outer layers
of the skin. Microdermabrasion done in the clinic has far greater
positive effects upon the skin than some of the "so called" home
microdermabrasion kits available on the market. As with many
things in life it would appear that you "get what you pay
for" and cheap facial creams may not do the job.

Microdermabrasion is most effective in treating skin that is
damaged by sun or general aging but amazing results can be
gained by using
microdermabrasion in the treatment of Acne/Acne scars and unwanted
pigmentation. It is most advised that you book an appointment
with a salon before starting any type of Microdermabrasion
treatment
due to the fact that there are times when Microdermabrasion may
not be a suitable treatment.
Microdermabrasion skin care equipment utilizes crystal microdermabrasion,
considered the most natural way to regain youthful looking
skin without the use of chemicals, lasers or surgery. Microdermabrasion
is perfect for anyone who wants to improve skin appearance
and
reverse the signs of aging without the extended periods of
irritation and redness that often occurs with other treatments.
Scarring and moderate wrinkles (larger wrinkles will need extra
complimentary treatments) due to sun damage and acne, or correcting
age spots and other pigment problems, microdermabrasion can make
a considerable difference to your skin. Microdermabrasion rejuvenates
skin by removing the dull, lifeless, sun-damaged epidermis and
therefore stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen.
Thus, Microdermabrasion emulates the bodies natural way to repair
the skin and therefore is the safest and most effective method
available for wrinkle reduction, skin exfoliation, and pigment
correction.
This treatment uses inert crystals to "sandblast" the
skin, a small hand device gently vacuums crystals onto the surface
of the skin and resurfaces the superficial layers of the skin.
As the crystals contact the skin, they remove old, dead, and flaking
skin cells and exfoliate and polish the skin beneath.
