Improving Your Appearance with Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular non-invasive anti-aging treatments available today. It’s a method of exfoliation which involves the gentle buffing away of the surface layer of the skin. Dead cells are simultaneously vacuumed away from the face, along with any oils, bacteria or other debris that has become deposited in the pores over time. Microdermabrasion treatments are currently available at Dermatology Consultants of South Florida in Coral Springs and Sunrise.
Who Can Benefit from Microdermabrasion?
The beauty of microdermabrasion is that it is incredibly effective for all skin tones and types, and is particularly useful for those with sensitive skin. Those who want to avoid the ingredients associated with chemical peels are also good candidates for microdermabrasion – it’s a great, natural, non-invasive way to open up the pores, and can be useful in preparing the skin for better penetration of skin treatment creams such as moisturizers or anti-acne products. Ultimately, virtually all people can benefit from this treatment, regardless of age, skin type or condition.
What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?
There are many reasons to choose microdermabrasion as your skin treatment regime. During treatment, the pressure and suction strength can be adjusted to meet the needs of the user. Overall, microdermabrasion helps to:
• Remove dull skin
• Smooth out coarse-textured skin
• Reduce pore size
• Reduce acne
• Fade scars
• Fade brown spots
• Stimulate cell regeneration
• Stimulate collagen production
• Soften fine lines
How Does This Treatment Work?
A special device, known as a microdermator, features a wand with a 6mm head. Depending on your choice of microdermabrasion, the wand will feature crystals or a disk used to exfoliate the skin. After the wand has been applied to the face, a hydrating cream is applied to help improve the appearance of dry or normal skin. Those undergoing treatment for acne might opt for anti-acne medicine to be applied.
The treatment is performed in-office in a matter of minutes (dependent on the size of the area being treated). With virtually no downtime, you’re free to continue the rest of your daily activities after the treatment has been performed. It’s a rapid way to achieve fantastic looking skin, and the hundreds of thousands of people who opt for this treatment around the world every day are a testament to its efficacy.
