Microdermabrasion Facials – Instant Facial Wrinkle Treatment for Aging Skin
Posted in Anti Aging Program, skin care treatment on Jun 30th, 2010
If you are looking for an anti aging treatment that is lighter on the pocket and gives very quick results then one of your best option is including microdermabrasion facials in your skin care regimen.
Microdermabrasion is a simple, non-invasive and gentle process aimed at removing the dead skin cells from the topmost layer of your skin. This procedure is widely accepted to be good treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, age or discolored skin spots, skin acne, acne scars, large pores, rough and thick skin, etc. Besides removing dead skin cells, some say that it also stimulates the skin to create fresh cells as well as new collagen but this may be debatable. One thing is for sure though, after undergoing this procedure, immediate results will show improvement in the color and glow of your skin.
The process begins with the cleansing of the facial area first and then applying the necessary preparatory treatment which may be chemical-based. After that, the professional aesthetician, dermatologist or plastic surgeon will start the microdermabrasion process by lightly abrading the skin using a wand built with very fine crystals at the tip which is used to “sand” the skin, thereby removing dead skin cells to reveal the fresh skin beneath. Some equipment has built-in suctions with the wands so the shed skin cells are quickly and properly removed as the wand sands them away from any area of the face.
Some salons or clinics also offer chemical peeling as part of the microdermabrasion facial service. This involves the application of chemical-based exfoliating products that stimulates the skin cells to renew and remove toxins that are trapped within the deeper layers of the skin. The effects of chemical peeling comes a few days after the application of the chemicals and will be characterized by skin peeling, raw and red skin which may cause some discomfort. Chemical peels are best administered by professionals so be sure to be safe and consult one if you are interested in this anti aging treatment.
If you are wondering if you can do facial microdermabrasion without going to the salon or skin clinics, then you will be delighted to know that yes, there is a way. Dermanew is a company that specializes in microdermabrasion home kits. These kits contain a set of tools, usually a wand or “sander” along with creams that may contain the exfoliants (usually crystals) used in the abrasion process.
