Microdermabrasion procedure is a versatile treatment that is not invasive, doesn’t require any complex equipment or chemicals, and focuses on removing piled dead skin and revealing fresh, healthy, and rejuvenated skin beneath. The microdermabrasion device uses abrasive substances to exfoliate the outer skin, and the vacuum attached to the device sucks up the exfoliated debris. Microdermabrasion can be used on any skin type without any scarring or color change. Some more benefits of microdermabrasion are:
-
1. Improves circulation
Microdermabrasion increases blood circulation as well as lymphatic circulation, improving the internal health of the skin. Enhanced circulation promotes more oxygen supply, which improves cellular processes and increases skin elasticity, making your skin tighter and healthier.
-
2. Boosts product efficacy
Microdermabrasion also improves the skin’s ability to absorb cosmetic products. This procedure removes the dead outer skin, revealing the healthier layers and promoting circulation; as a result, your skin is able to absorb products up to 50% better. This additionally implies that, if an individual is being treated for acne, their skin will be more receptive to medications after microdermabrasion.

3. Healthy pores
It has been found that microdermabrasion not only removes the dirt that might be clogging the pores, but also helps reduce the size of pores. However, every human has unique pores and they can increase or decrease in size based on various factors, including hygiene, inflammation, and the temperature of the skin. By cleaning out the pores and reducing their size, however, microdermabrasion can reduce inflammation and keep the skin cleaner and less acne-prone.

4. Non-invasive and quick recovery time
People nowadays often prefer microdermabrasion over other procedures, since it is less invasive in nature and doesn’t require harmful chemicals or needles. Other procedures, like chemical peels and laser treatments, are complex and potentially harmful in nature and yet provide the same result. Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, is one of the safest skin treatments and does not require any medication post-procedure. Additionally, recovery time is not too long.

5. Painless
Generally, microdermabrasion is painless. There is a chance your skin will get tight for a few hours after the procedure, which can be a little uncomfortable, and individuals with very sensitive skin can experience bruising if the suction is strong. However, the bruises fade quickly and the procedure itself is painless. Microdermabrasion is minimally invasive and uses no chemicals.
Remember, microdermabrasion should be performed by a qualified aesthetician or dermatologist, with experience performing the procedure. It can be used to treat the skin for dullness, fine lines, age spots, sun damage, stretch marks, light scarring, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, acne and acne scarring, or wrinkles. Typically, it can be done in 8 to 10 sessions every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. Microderm sessions typically last about 50 to 60 minutes each.
