If getting rid of acne and blackheads are somewhere in the top of your list of priorities, microdermabrasion must just be the right solution for you. This particular aesthetic procedure has garnered much interest over the past few years. And even A-list celebrities and influential bloggers have tried this procedure, so you can feel affirmed that it really helps in the achievement of youthful looking skin.
What is it about?
This unique procedure utilizes organic ingredients such as cellulose and lignin. This unique blend of ingredients will help to exfoliate the skin in a gentle and non-invasive manner. The treatment process lasts for at least 40 minutes and is suitable to be done by both women and men of any skin type and skin tone. When the skin is gently polished, damaged and dry surface skin can be removed. The process will also stimulate the production of collagen and improve blood flow.
Suitable candidates for microdermabrasion
Almost anyone is suitable to try out this skin-revitalizing procedure. As mentioned, the procedure is very beneficial for people who have skin concerns such as scaring, mild acne and dull skin. Depending on the severity of the acne scaring, some patients may require multiple treatments before desirable results are achieved. However, one should not worry as there are virtually no side effects over time. The treatments can also be tailored to ensure it meets the specific skin needs of a patient.
How often should you go for this procedure?
The idea of having polished skin all the time definitely sounds wonderful, but you must still take a significant amount of caution when opting for this treatment. Your skin tolerance must be considered, and it is recommended that you begin with treatments on a weekly basis to accustom your skin to the effects of the procedure. After three weeks, it is possible to change it to a monthly maintenance routine.
What to expect from treatment
First and foremost, your skin will be cleansed to rid of any excess traces of oils and makeup. Your skin will then be lightly stretched to create some form of tension. In fact, this is needed to achieve an effective abrasion at a later stage. Do be prepared as some form of discomfort is to be expected when the procedure commences.
When the treatment is completed, it is pertinent that moisturizer is continuously applied to soothe your skin. Whenever surface skin is removed, it is imperative that you take the necessary steps to protect your skin such as using sunscreen when you plan to be outdoors. This is an important post-treatment practice as the photo sensitivity of a patient’s skin increases after receiving the treatment.
