Overview
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an effective and modern type of medium depth mechanical peel that restores the lost freshness and elasticity of the skin due to factors such as age, excessive exposure to sun or acne. It is a non-invasive and painless technique. You will feel a pleasant tickling during the treatment. It does not irritate the skin. By the end of each session you will see a considerable improvement in your skin's condition; you will notice the results immediately.. Microdermabrasion may be one of the most popular non-surgical skin resurfacing procedures but it's not completely free of risks or contraindications (no cosmetic treatment is completely safe; if there were such a treatment, everyone would only have that). This is the complete list of side effects associated with microderm abrasion (some experienced by people I know myself).
One thing you cannot ignore is your medical history. It gives you useful clues as to which procedures suit you and which don't. Fortunately, there was nothing major in my medical history to prevent me from having microabrasion but I had to see a doctor first to get the all-clear.
Your skin is made up of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It's a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through. When you put lotions or creams on your skin, some of the moisture passes through the stratum corneum, but not all of it. This layer is home to many minor skin imperfections like fine wrinkle lines and blemishes.
All of the action in microdermabrasion takes place at the level of the stratum corneum. Since it only really targets the epidermis (and not the dermis), it is more accurate to call it micro-epi-dermabrasion. Affecting deeper layers of skin would be painful and harmful, and it would risk permanently embedding the tiny grains into the skin.
- Microdermabrasion leaves skin with a fresher, more glowing look.
- Microdermabrasion diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and coarse textured skin.
- Microdermabrasion makes it easy for high-tech skin care products to actually penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance.
Other Names for Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is also known as particle resurfacing, power peel, derma-peel or Parisian peel.How Microdermabrasion Works
Microdermabrasion uses a powerful device to spray microcrystals of aluminum dioxide (corundum powder) across the skin’s surface. The aluminum dioxide is a very fine, very hard, sand-like material that blasts away the uppermost layer of dead skin cells on the skin's epidermis.Microdermabrasion can be uncomfortable around the sensitive tissue of the mouth and nose, but should not be painful. After the treatment, the technician vacuums away the traces of the corundum powder.
Cautions on Microdermabrasion
- Check on the training of the person who is going to give you the microdermabrasion treatment. Results depend in part on their expertise.
- Make sure all traces of the aluminum dioxide is removed from your skin.
- Apply sunscreen and stay out of the sun after your treatment. Along with the dead skin cells, you have removed some of your protection.
- Microdermabrasion is not recommended for sensitive skin, skin that easily reddens (called couperous), or skin with acne breakouts.
- Aging skin is already thin. Overdoing microdermabrasion treatments can make it even thinner.
