Another skin care brand worth checking out is a company that specializes in DIY microdermabrasion kits that you can take home with you.
Microdermabrasion is a process where the outermost layer of the skin (also known as the stratum corneum) is removed by lightly abrading it with a gently abrasive material. This is one of the increasingly popular non-invasive methods that most people will adopt given the choice (Read related report on new facelift procedures and skin aging treatment for 2012). This is a method commonly used in reducing the appearance of scars (especially those that are raised above the surrounding skin) and evening out darkened or blotched areas of the skin. It is a good way to perform exfoliation on the skin and are sometimes included with sets of exfoliating products. It is also a process used in treating acne.
There are various methods of microdermabrasion but the most common is through the use of microscopic crystals in cream preparations. Coupled with resurfacing wands the micro-crystals-containing cream is applied to the skin through a buffing and massaging action that creates the suitable abrasion that should helps get rid of dead skin cells and foreign material that may be stifling the skin.
A positive attribute of this process is that it is relatively simple and safe and is a non-invasive way to treat some of the most common skin issues plaguing both men and women, young and old. It requires no anesthetics and is relatively cheap.
It used to be that this process can only be performed in salons and skin clinics but Dermanew’s founders (Amby Longhofer and Dean Rhoades) have made it possible to have microdermabrasion facials at the comfort of your own home with take home kits like the Dermanew 5-piece Facial Rejuvenation System that includes the Teardrop Foam Applicator, the Dual Action Resurfacing Tool (a motor-powered resurfacing wand), and the Dermanew Creme formulated with naturally mined Corundum Crystals, moisturizers and antioxidants. They also have similar kits intended for acne and oil clearing systems as well as whole body exfoliating systems.
The skin benefits of using systems like these include improvement in the appearance of large pores, acne scars, dull patches, age spots, rough skin, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and blood circulation in the outer layer of the skin.
You no longer have to go to the salon or to a cosmetic surgeon just to get microdermabrasion treatments that are relatively easy procedure that you can do at home. Of course, there are risks of irritation and slight skin injury so you need to be a little considerate of such possibilities. As with any anti aging products, remember to follow instructions included in the kit. And whenever in doubt, be sure to consult your dermatologist or the manufacturer.
