The Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a technique used by many to deliver excellent results to the skin. It is a simple, painless procedure that often requires 6 to 10 treatments to give the skin the best results. It can be done in half an hour or less and is often called the “lunch hour peel”. With microdermabrasion, there is no unwanted downtime. Microdermabrasion uses a powerful tool that will get rid of unwanted dead skin cells to reveal fresher looking skin. It has been around since the 1980’s. There are different types of microdermabrasion. Crystal microdermabrasion uses crystals that are blasted out of a hand held device to polish away dead skin cells. The crystals will attack the dead skin cells, and grab hold of them, then be vacuumed off the skin. It can be somewhat uncomfortable, but will never be painful. The most sensitive areas are usually around the mouth and the nose. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion will use a hand held tool without the use of any crystals. The diamond-tip will exfoliate the skin, capturing the dead skin cells and vacuuming them off the skin.
So you may ask yourself, why do so many people opt to have microdermabrasion done? Well for starters, there are some great benefits of microdermabrasion, firstly dead skin cells are taken off the face, which will reveal softer, smoother skin. The skin will have a polished look to it, and will essentially glow. Microdermabrasion treatment will also clean out the pores. Pores often become trapped with dirt, debris, oil, and dead skin cells. The treatment cleans deep down into the skin to remove the unwanted dirt, debris, oil and dead skin cells, which clog the pores. When pores are clogged, they are enlarged. Pulling out the unwanted gunk will allow the pores to shrink in size, which will also help to have a more radiant face.

Hello all! I am so glad that I found this article. I am at my wits end on what to do with my skin. I have had so many issues with it and now I am starting to age. I had very bad acne when I was a teen and that really scarred my face. In my late 20s the acne went away but my pores still clogged, and now in my 30s, my pores are huge, and my face is super oily. I am starting to get the tale tell signs of aging, light wrinkles around my eyes. I am having this procedure done. I never realized what it was all good for. Tomorrow I am calling the dermatologist in the next town over to see if they are accepting new patients. Then I will make an appointment to see someone. I am super excited that there may be hope for my skin yet! Please, let us hope so as I do not know what to do anymore. I have tried all kinds of scrubs and masks and cleaners. Toners, home remedies, you name it, I have probably tried it. Here is to hoping that my skin can be fixed for good!
My aunt swears by microdermabrasion. She has been doing it for at least the past 5 years, if not more. She loves what it does for her face, and I can really tell a difference. She is 55 but does not look it at all. She has very few wrinkles on her face, and her skin is a radiant glow. I am really thinking that I need to follow in her footsteps soon to keep my face looking young. I am only 28, but I guess it is never too early to start. I do not have that many issues with my skin right now, but one never knows when wrinkles will pop up. The earlier I start, the better my skin will look.
Microdermabrasion has many wonderful benefits. The results are excellent. Pores shrinking is often hard to do since they get clogged with so much dirt and oil. And oily skin is very hard to overcome. But this treatment, that does take only a short amount of time (I can attest, I have had a few lunch hour peels myself!),works well and fast. It is effective and efficient and I love the fact that there is no downtime. Glowing skin is the best part for me. Because when my skin glows, I have more confidence in myself, and I feel that there is a bounce in my step. I love being able to have people guess my age, and it is always 5 or so years younger than I really am. Which makes me feel awesome and wonderful! I love what microdermabrasion has done for me and am proof that it really does work.
