How Microdermabrasion Can Transform Your Skin

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular treatments on offer at the Dermatology Consultants of South Florida. It’s non-invasive and no chemicals are used in the process, which involves the removal of the dead outer layer of skin. During microdermabrasion, extremely small crystals are used to exfoliate the skin. Following on from this, a vacuum is used to remove impurities and debris left behind. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and shades. As well as helping to improve the appearance of the skin, microdermabrasion also offers the following advantages:
Enhanced Product Efficacy
Because microdermabrasion removes dead skin and unclogs the pores, it helps to improve the absorption of most skin care products. This means that any skin care treatments you are using (such as a topical cream to treat acne) will be much more effective.
Improved Circulation
The process helps to boost lymphatic and blood circulation within the deeper layers of skin, which helps to improve skin health. Because blood flow is enhanced during microdermabrasion, this means more nutrients and oxygen are supplied to the skin cells. This helps to improve elasticity, enhance the skin and improve cell processes.
A Versatile Treatment
Microdermabrasion is suitable for treating various skin conditions. It’s effective at improving the appearance of age spots, acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and dull skin. Microdermabrasion is typically performed as a series of sessions (between 6 and 10, depending on the level of scarring/skin issues and the results you want to achieve). The treatment is relatively quick – a single session can take as little as five minutes, although longer treatments on larger areas of skin can take up to an hour. After a course of microdermabrasion sessions, most patients elect to have the occasional top-up treatment every four to six weeks to maintain the great condition of their skin.
How Long Before I Notice Results?
Depending on your skin type and condition, you might notice results directly after your first treatment – particularly if you’re aiming to remove blackheads or brighten your skin. The best results tend to be noticeable after approximately five sessions.
