Medical Microdermabrasion - Things You Should Know.
As a skilled Cosmetic Technician specialising in Medical Microdermbrasion, many people ask me questions about this skin treatment, I therefore decided to blog some of the questions I am asked frequently.
Q: Can Medical Microdermabrasion Make Skin Dry?
A: Dryness after Medical Microdermabrasion is extremely rare. If it does happen, nourish your skin with a replenishing serum.
Q: Does Microdermabrasion Work On The Hands.?
A: Yes, there is no reason not to have Microdemabrasion on your hands.
Q: How Good Is Microdermabrasion On Wrinkles?
A:
Microdermabrasion works on fine wrinkles. It evens out skin texture
through abrasion of the top layer of skin. The effect is a reduction or
even total removal of superficial wrinkles.
A: Eczema sufferers should not use microdermabration This procedures is somewhat invasive to the skin (any skin rejuvenation treatment is to some extent) and can worsen their condition. This applies to home microdermabrasion as well, despite its mild effect.
Q: Can Microdermabrasion Be Used For Whiteheads?
A: By exfoliating the top layer of the skin, microdemabrasion sets clean deep into the pore and removes excess oil and dirt that clog pores - which causes whiteheads. Most whiteheads are removed while the more stubborn ones become less noticeable.
Q: Can You Have Microdermabrasion If You Have Rosacea?
A: Rosacea is one of the main contraindications of microdermabrasion, because the exfoliation process worsens rosacea symptoms (redness, itchiness, flaking). Home micro abrasion kits either (even though they are milder). However, don't despire there are treatments for rosacea, just not microdermabrasion.
Q: What Are The Advantages Of Microdermabrasion?
A: One major advantage is the minimum risks and side effects associated with microdermabrasion takes no more than 20-30 minutes and can be successfully used on the face as well as the body (neck, chest, back and hands). It removes only the very top skin layer which is why it's considered to be the least invasive cosmetic procedure. It doesn't require anesthesia and has virtually no down time after treatment. It can be performed on all skin types and colors without risks and side effects.
Q: Does Microdermabrasion Help Treat Scarring?
A: By removing the top layer of skin, microdermabrasion evens out skin texture and helps remove superficial scarring. Deeper scars need more invasive non-surgical techniques, like deep chemical peeling or laser facial resurfacing.
Q: Does Microdermabrasion Help Minimise Age Spots?
A: Age spots can be made less visible or even removed entirely through several micro dermabrasion treatments - the flow of crystals exfoliates the top layer of the skin and evens out irregular skin pigmentation.
Q: Is Microdermabrasion Good For Making Your Skin Look Healthy?
A: Healthy-looking skin needs elasticity and density, both achievable through skin cell renewal. Microdermabrasion product the outermost skin layer and stimulates skin renewal. An effective skin renewal process results in increased elasticity and density. Moreover, the vacuum function of the microdermabrasion machine sucks up dirt and hardened oil to reveal an even skin texture and tone.
