Microdermabrasion 101
Microdermabrasion is a form of exfoliation that gently removes the outermost layer of your skin cells to reveal a fresh new complexion underneath. This can be a compatible treatment for all types of skin flaws, including:
1. Fine lines and wrinkles
Photoaging, or sun damage, is the primary cause of static fine lines and wrinkles, while your facial expressions draw your facial skin into different, dynamic creases. Microdermabrasion can smooth off the edges of these lines and give your face a softer, smoother appearance.
2. Uneven skin tone and texture
Lack of hydration, wind exposure, and various skin conditions can cause uneven or roughened skin patches. Microdermabrasion evens out your complexion, leaving your skin smooth and silky.
3. Enlarged pores
Large pores can negatively impact your appearance, especially on the forehead, nose, and chin. Microdermabrasion is a great way to easily shrink pores and provide an even, smooth look to the middle of your face.
4. Age spots
A side effect of sun damage over time is the appearance of age spots, also known as liver spots, as melanin builds up in the upper layers of the skin. Microdermabrasion can pare down and lighten these areas for a more even and cohesive look.
5. Acne scarring
While microdermabrasion is recommended for those with cystic acne or active acne outbreaks, it can help smooth away scarring and roughness left behind from youthful acne and give your skin a smooth, even feel.
6. Dull looking, dry, or flaky skin
Skin that is past its best-by date but refuses to yield ground to home exfoliators can be targeted with microdermabrasion. The result is a rejuvenated and youthful look thanks to younger skin being revealed.
The microdermabrasion process
Your doctor applies microdermabrasion using a handheld device that gently “sands” off the very uppermost layers of skin, exposing younger skin underneath. Each 30-minute session should be followed by assiduous use of sunscreen and careful daily cleansing and moisturization. Sessions can be repeated every four to six weeks.
You might have a little redness, swelling, or even mild bruising after a session, so don’t book an appointment right before a big event or photoshoot. Otherwise, use cool packs for any discomfort and remember to hydrate daily. You can see the results of microdermabrasion almost immediately.
