Microdermabrasion: The Benefits and How It Works

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that involves exfoliating the skin using tiny crystals before sucking the debris from the skin’s surface. Performed by Dermatology Consultants of South Florida, PA, this cosmetic procedure is non-invasive. Additionally, it does not involve the use of any chemicals. It targets the skin’s dry and dead layer to reveal the underlying fresh and healthy skin. It rejuvenates the skin to result in a brighter complexion.
How Microdermabrasion Works
This cosmetic procedure utilizes a device that releases highly pressurized crystals onto the skin to brighten and rejuvenate it. This method of microdermabrasion gently but vigorously exfoliates the skin’s top layer to remove dead cells and impurities. At the same time, a built-in vacuum is used to suck out the impurities and dead cells to leave you with bright and clear skin.
Since microdermabrasion is non-invasive, it does not require any medications or numbing agents to administer. We typically recommend that our patients receive 5-12 sessions that are spaced two to three weeks apart. Each session provides subtle results to your complexion that build-up after each treatment until your skin is radiant and glowing!
The Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Besides riding the skin of debris and dead cells, this cosmetic procedure also offers the following benefits:
1. Improved Circulation
Microdermabrasion can improve both blood and lymphatic circulation deep within the skin. This is important for the skin’s internal health as improved blood flow means better nutrient and oxygen circulation. This, in turn, improves the cellular processes while improving the skin’s elasticity.
2. Enhanced Product Efficacy
By eliminating dead cells and promoting blood, oxygen, and nutrient circulation, this skin exfoliation procedure has been found to improve the absorption of skin care products by up to 50 percent. This means that if you are treating skin conditions like acne, then your skin will be more receptive to the treatment agent, so it can yield better results than it otherwise would.
3. Pore Size and Health
Microdermabrasion not only unclogs the skin’s pores but also reduces their sizes. Pores tend to enlarge due to factors like skin inflammation and hygiene. It also helps clear the skin of blockages and improves circulation, thereby reducing inflammation while improving the skin’s natural hygiene.
