How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion treatment has evolved and there are several different methods that exist today. One of them is the traditional method of crystal microdermabrasion where tiny crystals are discharged onto the skin to execute exfoliation. On the other hand, diamond microdermabrasion operates without any need of crystals. A diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin, exfoliates it by sucking away the dead skin cells.

The most popular method however, is the home microdermabrasion as they are easy procedures and cheap too. When done periodically, it can produce satisfactory results. Many skin care brands introduce their easy to use systems which can be done at home. Home microdermabrasion can be used to accelerate new healthy skin remodeling and promotes the development of new collagen.

Microdemarbrasion employs tiny elements known as ‘sand’ to polish the skin which will lessen scars and dark spots. You will notice visibly clearer and fresher skin as the surface is freed of dead skin and new skin cells will develop. Creams use in conjunction with this method will renew skin and quicken the development of healthy collagen skin cells.

Microdermabrasion can be used in combination with other treatments such as chemical peel or topical therapies to achieve better skin. Swelling and redness may last for a few hours and this is normal. However, what is less common is sometimes suction marks and bruising can appear after the treatment.
