What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that uses tiny crystals or other exfoliating surfaces to help remove the superficial layer of dead skin cells. When you remove the stratum corneum or the top layer of the skin, the body interprets it as an injury. It then quickly replaces the lost skin cells with new, healthy ones. Deep skin exfoliation is benefiting cell permeability and improve skin metabolism. The machines can buff and polish the skin using a stream of fine crystals or a diamond tip, while some also vacuum loose skin cells from the face. People with uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and clogged pores can benefit from a series of microdermabrasion treatments.
The procedure stimulates blood flow, which increases the nutrition delivered to skin cells. Microdermabrasion improves cell production, which improves skin’s elasticity and texture. Any skin type can benefit from microdermabrasion. For acne-prone people, microdermabrasion can be combined with peels and medical extractions. So, if you have scarring, it may help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
