Treating Enlarged Pores with Microdermabrasion

Many individuals use makeup to cover skin that is unattractive. They may have pigmentation issues, acne, or some scarring. Other have large pores that are difficult to conceal, even with makeup. Fortunately, there is one treatment that can help correct this stubborn aesthetic imperfection and many others — microdermabrasion.

If you do not know anything about microdermabrasion, the basic idea behind the procedure that it provides patients with gentle skin exfoliation. A small hand piece is passed over the skin that sprays it with small crystals. After the crystals are sprayed onto the skin, a small vacuum safely removes them. As the vacuum sucks up these crystals, it also removes dead skin, oil, bacteria, and other debris from its surface.

Microdermabrasion has proved to be very useful when treating enlarged pores. A great deal of the oil and bacteria is removed from the skin. As the skin is exfoliated, it is encouraged to heal itself. As it heals itself, more collagen is produced, bringing a youthful glow to the patient’s complexion. Overall, microdermabrasion helps the skin to be in a much healthier state.

The great thing about microdermabrasion is that most individuals can undergo treatment. This is a noninvasive treatment that does not require any surgery or harmful chemicals; the skin is simply exfoliated. Following treatment, we will provide you with instructions to you on how to care for your skin. You will walk away from our office with skin that is much smoother to the touch and looks much younger. In addition to treating enlarged pores, microdermabrasion can also be used to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne, rough skin, and pigmentation issues.

Many who have used microdermabrasion love the way their skin improves over time. Most individuals have found that after using this treatment several times, they no longer feel like covering up their skin. They have smaller pores, faded scars, and fewer outbreaks of acne.
