The first machine of Microdermabrasion came from Europe to theU.S in 1995.
Microdermabrasion is a sophisticated skin-care solution, is a non-surgical option to increase the freshness of the skin and have the more beautiful younger flawless looking skin. In today’s day, more males are attempting microdermabrasion services than before, as opposed to choosing plastic surgery.
Is microdermabrasion good for your face?
Microdermabrasion is good for any skin type even sensitive but not for very sensitive skin type. The treatment feels like a vacuum pulling your skin with little granules like sand which means it is little roughness into the skin but not painfully, depending on the person who is performed the level can be made in less or high intensity.
What is microdermabrasion, What does that guarantee, and just What result can it already have onto your skin?
Before going to Microdermabrasion Treatment, you have to know:
Crystal Microdermabrasion machine is a powerful electronic vacuum machine that is certainly realized by means of spraying high-grade micro-crystals containing corundum powder, even aluminum oxide crystals, throughout the skin’s surface by using a hand part and also picking up dead skin cells in the process. The dead cells and crystals are pulled up with the different tubes inside the very same wand and accumulate in a different part. In this way, the skin reveals youthful and luminous skin tone, look very well exfoliated, eliminate scars and acne, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate blood circulation and cell growth with results of the firm and flawless-looking skin. This can be performed simply by trained Skin Care Professionals – Esthetician or Dermatologist.
This vacuum action on the machine includes four primary functions:
- It exfoliates the skin from extra skin layer and makes smoother and softer looking skin come up to the surface.
- It helps to thicken your collagen which makes your skin appear firm and elastic, and produce moderate swelling, so the skin can look plump and fine lines decrease, also scars or stretch marks are less visible.
- If any patches on the skin, the crystals from microdermabrasion will remove, also increases blood circulation so the skin can make more new cells.
- It cleanses the follicles and keeps the skin blemish-free, blackheads free, eliminates enlarged pores and any dark spots or age spots will diminish.
When you get the microdermabrasion, you can expect two passes over your skin, maybe third to the specific area that need more attention or all over if the skin is thicker enough.
Microdermabrasion is similar to the term dermabrasion which is much deeper exfoliation of the outermost layer of the skin. The microdermabrasion is less aggressive than dermabrasion to help taking out the uneven and thicker outer layer.
Crystals may also be used physically without having the machine – this procedure is known as gentler onto the skin to carefully lift up your skin throughout Exfoliation.
The Exfoliation can be performed at home, because mechanical exfoliation, physically removes the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
Another microdermabrasion machine is Diamond tip microdermabrasion which works the same as Crystal microdermabrasion with the same use of technology but the only difference is instead of crystals the tip of the diamond microdermabrasion is rough with different shapes and sizes. Diamond tip microdermabrasion is more comfortable with the same results as Crystal microdermabrasion and is much better for sensitive skin type but not for extra sensitivity.
So How Exactly Does Microdermabrasion Function?
It’s usually performed on the face, neck, and decollate area. To understand why microdermabrasion does what it does first it is important to understand the work of your skin. Your skin includes basically two layers epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is the outmost layer of the surface of your skin with a collection of dead skin cells on the very top layer and the underneath layer of cells are in the process of maturing. The very top layer called Stratum Corneum provides a barrier between protecting the body from the outside environment and the lower skin layers, and also keep the smallest molecules going through. When you use lotion or creams on your skin know that very few of the molecules go through the top stratum corneum layer of the skin, but not all of them.
To the top of the Stratum Corneum, there are so many imperfections like blemishes, dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, and microdermabrasion action is on this very first layer, mainly focus on the epidermis (not the dermis) It can be called micro-epi-dermabrasion.
The effectiveness of the treatment can be determined by the number and speed of the passes from the microdermabrasion, at the same time the skin should be stretched and the pressure from the microdermabrasion can make the most effective abrasion.
How microdermabrasion is done?
First, the skin is preparing with cleaning up off any makeup, sebum, and dirt from the skin, then the eyes should be protecting from crystals get into the eyes (if it is Crystal Microdermabrasion), after that the handle devices move throughout the skin repeatedly until adequate top layer is exfoliated through the surface. The vacuum mechanism from the microdermabrasion stimulates cell metabolism. The people who can not tolerate peel treatments can be good candidates for microdermabrasion. The microdermabrasion and peels have the only difference between, and that is one is mechanical and the other one is chemical exfoliation, which means the mechanical is exfoliate the top layer of the surface and chemical pass through the epidermis and dissolve the intercellular glue.
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical method of exfoliation, which exfoliates the top stratum corneum more effectively than just 30% peel does, because peels penetrate into the skin and stimulate cell mitosis and also cell turnover rate there are effective in the deeper layer of the skin, so much more than microdermabrasion. The actual vacuum used by microdermabrasion does stimulate cell metabolism and circulation.
Commonly, you can imagine microdermabrasion like a more effective tool for surface area exfoliation and AHA peel as more beneficial below the surface.
