Microdermabrasion is the process of employing tiny crystals to exfoliate skin and draw out debris and impurities by suction. The process does not use any chemicals and is non-invasive. The procedure aims at removing the dead outer layer of the skin to reveal fresh and healthy skin. The surface of the skin gets rejuvenated, resulting in a brighter complexion skin.
Following are the 4 Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Along with clearing the dead skin cells, microdermabrasion has many other advantages such as:
- Circulation
The process improves lymphatic and blood circulation in the skin that enhances the health of the skin from inside. The enhanced blood flow ensures that plenty of oxygen and nutrients are supplied to the cells. It enhances the cell processes and hence improves the skin.
- Results to Product Efficacy
By removing dead skin layer and promoting circulation, microdermabrasion enhances the absorption of skincare products by up to 50%. Hence, if you are treating your skin for pimples, the surface will be more receptive towards the product, giving better results and thus good product efficacy.
- Pore Size and Health
Microdermabrasion not only unclog pores but also reduces their size. We are born with a specific pore size, but some external factors like hygiene, inflammation of the skin or because of being clogged, pore gets enlarged. Microdermabrasion helps clear the blockage and because of proper circulation in the skin, reduce inflammation and improve skin hygiene.
- Safety
Microdermabrasion is chosen over other treatments options like chemical peels and laser procedures because it is much safer and gives excellent results. It is regarded as one of the most reliable cosmetic procedures, and it does not require medications or a long time.
Range of Uses
Microdermabrasion can be used for many skin conditions like acne, dull skin, fine lines, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and wrinkles.
Microdermabrasion Hurts or Not
Microdermabrasion does not hurt. Though it may feel a little uncomfortable while the treatment is going on, and the skin may feel a little tight for a few hours after the procedure, it is not painful. It is one of the soft non-invasive skin treatments available. In case you have a sensitive skin that is prone to bruising, you might notice some bruising when the suction is set high, but this does not last long.
