We explain what microdermabrasion is and what are some of the fantastic benefits of this skin treatment for Australian men and women.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a dermatological procedure that uses abrasive materials to break down the top layer of the skin’s surface to reveal the younger and smoother skin underneath.
The microdermabrasion treatment is usually done in a dermatologist’s office and often involves a combination of physical and chemical products that are used to break down the skin’s layers.
The microdermabrasion procedure works by rubbing abrasive particles against the skin to break up the top layer of the skin, allowing the epidermis and dermis to begin to reconnect.
What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion has been around for many years and continues to be one of the most popular skin treatments around. It is a fast and gentle skin treatment which sees an expert massage tiny, highly polished particles of calcium carbide on your skin. The treatment targets the deeper layer of skin cells and is very safe and effective.
Microdermabrasion treatments remove the top layer of the skin and results can include glowing skin and more even skin tone. It is generally safe and painless and results usually last a couple of months or longer.
If you have shiny or dark skin If you want a brighter and more even skin tone If you want smoother skin If you have acne scars or the same-level skin problems as those suffering from acne.
If you have dark spots, Microdermabrasion should be combined with your existing skincare regime and shouldn’t be performed in place of it.
It’s important to note that microdermabrasion is generally not painful. When it’s done right there is minimal discomfort as the device basically pushes against the skin.
How does Microdermabrasion work?
Our natural protective oils break down and are chemically exfoliated. This means that this leads to a smoother skin, a brighter complexion, and overall healthier skin.
Microdermabrasion is the best non-surgical exfoliation method as it can be applied to all areas of the skin and can help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, unclog pores and even acne scars.
Who is a good candidate for a microdermabrasion treatment?
If you’ve got super sensitive, dry skin and if you want it to be silky soft, we’re here to help. What are the benefits of a microdermabrasion treatment? With microdermabrasion, your skin becomes slicker and smoother and can even experience collagen regeneration, helping to restore a youthful appearance to your skin.
In addition, it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reducing redness, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. Is microdermabrasion suitable for every skin type? It works on all skin types but most effective for those with oily or combination skin. Microdermabrasion has no irritants and is totally non-ablative. Therefore, no need to wear any protective equipment or any cosmetics afterwards.
Is microdermabrasion safe and effective?
Yes, microdermabrasion is safe and effective. What should you look for when choosing a professional? When choosing a professional, there are a few questions you should ask yourself: How many sessions do you need? How long is the treatment? What is the cost? Do you want an LED or manual microdermabrasion machine? What is a professional? A professional will usually have several years of experience and training in the art of microdermabrasion.
They will usually have a formal skin training program and will be completely qualified. If they have been trained by a specialist in the discipline of microdermabrasion, they will have a CE mark for their machines. They will also usually have to undergo regular revalidation.
How to choose a clinic
Go to salons that do these treatments with a skilled aesthetician and have 3 sessions, done over the course of a day. Once you have had these done, make an appointment for a final consultation so that your skin and other treatments can be monitored and so that you can stay away from over-exfoliation.
When using this skin-cleansing method, it is important to remember the technique, the correct positioning, and understanding that it is a non-abrasive method and that you need to have the right type of cleanser to allow it to work effectively. If you find that this technique doesn’t fully remove the dirt from your skin, you may want to seek out a professional.
