Microdermabrasion revives skin beauty

Microdermabrasion is one of the most recent discovered care techniques in facial treatments, which has enjoyed an explosive market success. It was promoted as "instant facelift", an effective alternative to invasive and costly procedures such as the surgical or chemical peel. In the last time, more and more men began to love the method as one intermediate between "lotioning" and microsurgery.

What is this therapy and how it acts on the skin?

Skin is composed of three layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The most exposed to aggressive environmental factors (sun, wind, cold, pollution, smoking) is of course, the epidermis layer. It consists of several rows of cells. The most important is basal layer which synthesize new cells to replace degraded cells. In other words, renews the skin. The most superficial layer of the epidermis is the stratum corneum, the barrier between the external environment and body. At this layer there are dead and degraded cells, dirt and dust, giving dull, tired and dehydrated looking skin. When you apply cosmetics on the skin, only a small fraction manage to cross this layer, mostly leaving on the skin, loading it more.

Microdermabrasion is a generic term that denotes the procedure of removing the top layer of skin (stratum corneum) by small abrasive granules. Cracking and removing the corneum stratum of the body is interpreted as having a harmful action and basal layer is stimulated to synthesize new cells to restore epidermis. The result is a new skin texture and uniform color.

In beauty salons, spas and dermatology offices, are common the mechanical exfoliation treatments using crystals, shells or beads, granules of sodium bicarbonate (salt). So, the method is used for a long time. The novelty lies in the development of professional dermabrasion devices using the thrust jet crystals and vacuum.
With the vacuum is lifted a small portion of skin, microcrystals perfectly round are pushed on skin under pressure, exfoliate the skin and removes impurities, dead cells, corrugated pores, diminishes fine lines and superficial blemishes, improve acne scars appearance, tone and increase skin elasticity, stimulate cell division and collagen synthesis, and reactivates skin functions. Exfoliated material and impurities are absorbed then by an air pump. After the procedure, a swelling or redness may remain, but disappears within 24 hours. Treatment is repeated every 2 weeks and then is replaced by monthly meetings.

Indications and contraindications

Who benefits from this procedure: mild to medium acne, enlarged pores, dull skin, tired skin, uneven texture, sun spots, wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars and hypo / hyperpigmentation.

Of course, as with any procedure, there are contraindications, such as: active rosacea acne, capillary fragility, the existence of vascular lesions in the treated area, severe acne lesions, active herpes, and warts, injured or traumatized skin.

Usually we do not tend to venture everything written on the label of care. Theoretically all are good, but active substances should achieve its target to produce the desired effect. If you apply him on a skin loaded with dust and keratin-filled pores, only a small part of the product will reach the target and therefore requires a perfect cleaning skin, deep, before assessing the effect of a product.
