How other people perceive your skin is the first thing they notice about you, and it may leave a lasting impression, either positive or negative. It’s essential to make an excellent first impression, thus, taking care of your skin, especially your facial skin. But age and the environment can cause skin discoloration, and microdermabrasion can help you get your glow back.
Though skincare products are often helpful, they are only sometimes the simplest solution to skin problems. If you’ve tried everything from moisturizers to face masks without success, it’s time to consider a cosmetic procedure. Most people automatically assume cosmetic procedures would break the bank, but this isn’t always the case.
If you have common skin imperfections, including acne, dull skin, dark spots, or sun damage, microdermabrasion is the low-cost cosmetic procedure of choice. This article’s purpose is to answer some of your questions regarding the treatment if you’re thinking about getting it.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is becoming increasingly popular since it is both easy to get and cheap. The treatment is available at spas, salons, and dermatologist offices. It is standard practice for a trained esthetician or dermatologist to do the procedure.
With this treatment, your dead skin cells and grime on the surface of your skin will be gently exfoliated away. Your skin sheds these dead cells naturally, and dirt is washed away when you shower. Unfortunately, there are situations when the accumulation of dead cells and dirt cannot be eliminated thoroughly.
Dead skin cells and debris accumulate on the skin and eventually produce imperfections. Microdermabrasion aims to remove the damaged outer layer of skin, revealing the younger, fresher underlying skin.
How It Works?
A microdermabrasion treatment takes around an hour to complete in a doctor’s office. In most cases, a licensed skin care practitioner will perform the procedure. A numbing cream or anesthetic is unnecessary for microdermabrasion.
At your scheduled time, you can relax in a comfortable reclining chair. To remove the top layer of skin, your doctor will use handheld equipment to spray the particles on the affected areas or gently sand them away. After the procedure, your skin will be treated with a moisturizer and sunscreen.
We will tailor your microdermabrasion session to your specific needs without compromising the safety of the operation. Before your procedure, we sterilize everything to ensure you don’t catch anything. The most apparent signs of aging and damage to the skin, such as fine lines and acne scars, can be removed by scraping away the top layer of dead skin cells.
Furthermore, this therapy will stimulate new collagen growth inside the affected area, resulting in a fresher, more youthful look. We’ll also provide the tools you need to maintain your treatment’s positive effects by recommending high-quality skincare items to use at home.
Preparing For Your Appointment
In contrast to surgical procedures, microdermabrasion causes only superficial injuries. You shouldn’t have to do much in the way of preparation.
You should consult a skin care specialist to determine if microdermabrasion suits your needs. In addition to allergies and physical issues, discuss any previous cosmetic operations you’ve had.
For about a week before treatment, you may be asked to refrain from going into the sun, using tanning lotions, and being waxed. You might also be asked to refrain from using any exfoliating masks or creams for around three days before your treatment.
Before the process, please remove all makeup and wash your face well.
Results You Can Expect
After having microdermabrasion done, you will likely need to take some time off from your regular activities. The good news is that you can get back to your normal routine without delay.
Always use a mild cleanser and moisturizer on your skin to keep it supple and healthy. Don’t apply topical acne treatments for 24 hours after getting rid of the problem. Likewise, sunscreen is a vital tool to protect the exposed skin from sun rays.
After the surgery, you can expect to see visible effects right away. Microdermabrasion treatments are best seen as a process, with the total number of sessions required determined by the extent of your skin issues and your goals.
Your doctor or therapist will likely devise a treatment strategy that includes an initial set of appointments and follow-ups at regular intervals.
Benefits
You may need multiple sessions of microdermabrasion to achieve the desired results. Duration of treatment varies from patient to patient and is based on factors such as condition, desired outcome, and other factors.
Reduces signs of aging
Fine lines and wrinkles brought on by natural aging, stress, and sun damage (also known as photoaging) are one of the most common cosmetic concerns treated with microdermabrasion.
Researchers found that patients who received microdermabrasion once a week for six weeks saw improvements in skin brightness and yellowness. As a bonus, their wrinkles became less noticeable.
Shrinks pores.
If you’re experiencing an acne breakout or have inflamed skin (including blackheads), microdermabrasion isn’t the best treatment. However, if blackheads are a persistent problem, this therapy could be a viable option for reducing their size. Some dermatologists advocate microdermabrasion as a means to better condition your skin and reduce the appearance of pores.
To determine the best course of therapy, consult a dermatologist or a licensed aesthetician specializing in microdermabrasion.
Addresses acne and acne scars.
Microdermabrasion has been demonstrated to have a good effect on acne, albeit the exact results can vary from person to person based on the causes of their acne.
In addition, it has been shown to lessen the appearance of acne scars. Be aware that microdermabrasion is not a panacea for severe acne scars.
Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, needs neither anesthetic nor downtime. Because of this, it can be an excellent alternative for those who want to avoid more drastic methods of treating their acne scars but still want to do something about them.
Takeaway
Several skin disorders respond well to treatment with microdermabrasion. Selecting an expert to treat you is crucial. Visiting a skin care professional at a day spa who works under the supervision of a medical doctor can be the most cost-effective option.
