Microdermabrasion is a process that involves exfoliating the skin with micro crystals. It makes the skin appear youthful and radiant through a non-invasive procedure that’s suitable for all skin types.
How Does Microdermabrasion Work?
First and foremost, microdermabrasion exfoliates your skin. Tiny crystals such as diamonds are used to achieve this purpose, cleansing the skin and gently exfoliating the surface through the high pressure device. Once exfoliated, dead-cells surface on the skin, ready to be removed. The built-in vacuum in the microdermabrasion device sucks away dead cells, leaving your skin feeling fresh and healthy.
For deeper skin conditions such as intense pigmentation, wrinkles, and scarring, microdermabrasion is often used with other skin revitalizing techniques. This produces best the results, and leaves your skin with a radiant glow.
Microdermabrasion helps your skin in a number of ways:
Improves Circulation
Through the slight pressure exerted by the microdermabrasion device, your body’s blood as well as lymphatic circulation improves. This regulation of blood and lymph flow in turn improves your overall health.
Since the blood flow is enhanced, cells in the body are provided a richer supply of nutrients and oxygen. This increases cell activity, promoting your body’s metabolism. The improved circulation also affects the elasticity of your skin, making your skin more firm and flexible.
Enhances Product Efficacy
Removal of dead skin cells through microdermabrasion also means that fresh, new skin cells come to the surface. In addition to enhanced blood circulation, this also boosts efficacy of any skin products you use. In other words, the new cells are better at absorbing nutrients from your favourite creams and lotions, making your skincare products more effective.
This is particularly true for those battling severe acne with prescription ointments and creams. Microdermabrasion treats acne both directly, as well as indirectly by surfacing fresh skin cells that are far better at absorbing topical ointments.
Reduces Pore Size
In addition to unclogging blocked pores, microdermabrasion also serves to reduce their sizes. Pores can become enlarged due to a number of external factors— both biological and environmental. In particular, pores often increase in size because of inflamed skin, poor hygiene, or because they get clogged too often or for too long.
As microdermabrasion unclogs pores, it consequently reduces their size as well. Furthermore, the procedure also cleanses the skin and reduces inflammation, thus minimizing the pore size.
