Microdermabrasion-What is it?

Microdermabrasion is a skin peeling and renewing technique that
removes layers of dead cells to reveal the newer more refreshed layer
of your skin.
There are many ways of accomplishing this, some gentler than
others and some more effective than others. The sun, pollution,
stress and the years can really leave their mark on our skin,
microdermabrasion, tries to remove and minimize these signs of wear and
tear.
Microdermabrasion is not a new anti-aging technique, it goes as far
back as the Egyptians, who used to apply abrasive masks made from
alabaster particles.
Many methods were used to reveal this most appealing layer of younger
skin. In their desire for younger, unblemished skin, people have used
acids, plant extracts, fire and other extreme
irritants! Microdermabrasion has evolved to a more high-tech procedure
using laser resurfacing, which has replaced the more recent chemical
peel.
Do You Need Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a
superficial treatment, it will NOT remove deep wrinkles and
scars. However, if you want to remove fine lines and even out skin
tone, this procedure has proven to be very beneficial with minimum risk
and rapid recovery. The pluses of microdermabrasion are
that:
It does not require you to have anesthesia. It is
painless. It can be repeated frequently and at short intervals. Is
quick and easy to perform. Does not require any major interruption in
your life.
The most obvious limitations to microdermabrasion is
that it needs to be repeated, as it's effects are not lasting. A
word of caution, please be careful when choosing a professional in this
field or, any other for that matter. There are millions of dollars
being made in this ever-growing cosmetic service and unfortunately, not
ever practitioner is as skilled as he/she claims!
Our face is the most distinguishing feature on our bodies and while we
may want to make some improvements, we don't want to risk
disfigurement. Facial rejuvenation procedures that require surgery and
laser dermabrasion are, in my opinion, best left to a very skilled,
competent cosmetic surgeon. I wouldn't trust my face to any
other! However, meicrodermabrasion can be gentler and much less
invasive that those requiring the skills of a professional. There
are now packaged, microdermabrasion kits, that you can purchase
online, in drugstores or your favourite department stores.
