About Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion provides many benefits from minimizing fine lines to improving the size of your pores.  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 people with minor skin problems and early signs of aging.

Microdermabrasion is Safe

Convenience is one of the significant microdermabrasion benefits that make this procedure so popular. Microdermabrasion treatments are often referred to as the “lunchtime facial” because they can be completed in as little as thirty minutes.  Because the microdermabrasion procedure is non-surgical and virtually painless, it is a safe and highly effective way to restore a clear, youthful glow to the skin.

While microdermabrasion is a safe non-surgical procedure, there are people who should not have it.  People with active herpes lesions, active acne or rosacea, open sores or lesions, dermatitis, psoriasis, people using Accutane within the last 6 months, eczema, and lupus should not have microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion sloughs off the dead and dull surface layers of the skin, while stimulating collagen production.  Microdermabrasion may be performed to decrease the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation, photo-damage, diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and shallow acne scars. Removing the dead skin will aid in the penetration of skin care products by up to 50% and make-up will go on much more smoothly.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

The benefits of microdermabrasion also include enhanced circulation and lymph flow, which promote the internal health of the skin. Many people see dramatic improvements in the tone, texture, and color of treated areas after just one treatment.  Microdermabrasion can also improve:

• Clogged pores
• Oily or dull skin
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines
• Mild acne scars
• Mild complexion problems (such as poor skin texture or uneven skin pigmentation)

The Microdermabrasion Treatment

The typical microdermabrasion takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Most people find it a pleasant experience.  The microdermabrasion hand piece is be passed over your skin and you will feel a mild scratching as the procedure removes the superficial skin cells.  Following the session your skin will feel smoother and tighter and some redness is common for several hours afterwards.

Microdermabrasion Side Effects

Side effects for microdermabrasion are usually temporary and may include swelling and redness for several hours.  With devices utilizing suction hand pieces there is a possibility of bruising from the suction, which will usually last several days.  The skin will also be more sensitive to sun exposure, so it is important to use sunscreen following a microdermabrasion session.
