Microdermabrasion Systems

As we all know, our skin is constituted of millions of cells, which have the task of protecting us from harm and regulate our body temperature. Thousands of these skin cells die and new ones appear, regenerating our skin.

But as time passes by, this regeneration process slows down and skin problems begin to surface. This is when the dark blotches appear, along with the wrinkles, and you begin to ponder on techniques that will improve your skin condition. If you happen to also suffer from acne, then micraodermabrasion acne treatment might be the answer to your skin problems.

Micraodermabrasion acne treatment is non-surgical, non-invasive new technique to smooth the skin. It only affects the outermost skin layers and is applied in two stages. First, a microdermabrasion acne machine is employed for cleaning the skin and pores, somewhat like a vacuum cleaner, removing dead and flaky skin cells and other skin debris.

This microdermabrasion acne treatment can be done without anaesthesia because it isn’t painful. It feels somewhat like a deep cleansing massage.

In the second stage of the microdermabrasion, a fine stream of aluminium oxide crystals is diffused on the skin. When applying the microdermabrasion acne treatment, the aluminium oxide crystals have the effect of gently smoothing the skin surface by removing the exterior layer of dead skin cells. Skin surface irregularities may be permanently smoothed over time, but only after several microdermabrasion acne treatments. You may be surprised to see a red healthy glow on your skin after the completion of the treatment. This is due to the fact that the treatment increases circulation in the skin, which brings nutrients and oxygen responsible for the soothing and regeneration of the skin, giving you a fresh new skin.

The microdermabrasion treatment is presently applied by several medical centers in the treatment of acne and acne scars. The duration varies according to the acne patient’s skin condition.

A mild case of acne may take ten sessions of microdermabrasion acne treatment, whereas more severe cases of acne may require more sessions in order to get the desired results. The duration of each session of microdermabrasion acne treatment may take as little as ten minutes to up to two hours, depending on the patient?s skin condition.

The norm is usually forty-five minutes for the first sessions, but time may be reduced to half an hour once the acne condition improves.

With the microdermabrasion acne treatment, you may get visible results rapidly, but you must be advised that IT does not cure the disease completely, because it treats the effects of acne and not its cause.

This is the main reason why repeated sessions of the microdermabrasion acne treatment are needed. Also, you should not be using Ro-accutane while under this treatment.

Microdermabrasion acne treatments exist under several forms. You may get the microdermabrasion acne treatment through an inexpensive do-it-yourself lotion package sold in pharmacies, or through medical and salon machines with the procedure described above.

Remember, whichever method you choose, always consult your health care professional first.

Acne scar is the trail of traumatic skin disorder acne which often flares up in our adolescence. In many cases adults too become the victim of this skin disease which often turn into severe acne lesions and eventually leaves us with unsightly blotches. Doctors throughout the world make use of numerous treatment procedures for dealing with different types of acne scars. Microdermabrasion is a simple noninvasive healing process which is mainly applied to aid mild surface acne scar. Microdermabrasion works by exfoliating the top layer of the damaged scarred skin thereby allowing the fresh skin layer to appear from below. This hand held system sprays a stream of aluminum oxide microcrystals onto the surface of the acne scar. This gently abrades the top layer of the skin leaving a brand new fresh layer underneath. This nonsurgical cosmetic method removes the very surface cells of the skin and therefore never causes any wound to the skin. This treatment process takes about twenty to thirty minutes and the mostly a gap of two weeks is preferred between two treatment sessions.

The entire procedure promotes the biological production of new cells deep beneath the dermal layer of the skin and stimulates the natural production of dermal collagen, improving the natural tone and appearance of the skin. Nevertheless this method does have little or no impact over the structural modification of the deep acne scars. This is a safe and quick treatment process for acne scar removal which is proven to be effective for all colors and types of skin. With the help of this procedure we can easily assuage or completely mitigate several skin conditions. This could be beneficial for anyone for many reasons. Microdermabrasion needs a series of treatments before you could get the optimum result for your mild acne scars. Depending on the condition of your skin a professional skin specialist could suggest you the required number of treatment sessions and would help you to achieve a glowing healthy skin.

Although there is no firm evidence in support of any adverse impact caused by long-term aluminum oxide exposure; however, WHO has listed elemental aluminum as hazardous dust. Nevertheless experts believe that due to the hardness and sharp edges of the crystals they might cause corneal abrasion and respiratory problems in the patient as well as in the clinical staff. This could be easily averted if the operator of the machine uses a proper mask and the patients are provided with some protection for their eyes. As a precautionary measure most of the doctors suggest their patients to stay away from the usage of retinoid, retinol, or alpha-hydroxy acid at least for three days before and after the treatment process. On recommendation from the clinic providing the microdermabrasion you might use advanced healing products to speed up the improvement of your skin.

Will your face look scalped and unnatural if you get a dermabrasion procedure?

Will the dermabrasion procedure make your skin look much more clear (getting rid of acne scars) than the microdermabrasion procedure?

If you already know a bit about microdermabrasion, you would know that the process involves the use of tiny crystals, most commonly composed of aluminium oxide. These crystals are blasted onto the stratum corneum (upper most layer of the skin) to rub away dead skin cells and reveal healthier, renewed skin cells beneath.

Many who consider the use of microdermabrasion crystals worry about the abrasive properties of these particles that are being used to clean their skin. But they (and you) should not worry; the commonly used aluminium oxide does not induce any harmful side-effects, for example, because of accidental ingestion or inhalation; it is also very rare to have allergic skin reactions or rash production because of this material. All microdermabrasion systems use clean aluminium oxide crystals that are cleared of impurities such as silica and zinc that are present in the raw material. This is done by repeated melting and cooling, and thus crystallization of the aluminium oxide for at least 8 cycles.

Despite the cleanliness of the crystals, it is very important that your family or personal doctor takes care to cover your nose and eyes before starting the microdermabrasion process. The introduction of any foreign body, into the lungs via the nose or mouth, can still, although not fatal, cause irritation, and either acute or chronic cough. At the same time, the crystals may irritate the mucous membranes around the eye bulb and result in severe irritation and swelling, especially if the client is wearing contact lenses. But do not be put off by these warnings, just simply make sure that you cover your eyes, nose and mouth well – and the microdermabrasion crystals will bring you enough benefit for you to want more and more of their beautifying properties!

Further, it should be noted that microdermabrasion is not only a one-way calibrated system. It can easily be modified and toggled with to adjust to your specific beauty and skincare needs. It is a painless process; and is more like a massage you get at the hair salon than anything else! Remember that you can either get a professionally trained microdermabrasion specialist to carry out the procedure for you, or you can get a home system with training manuals. It is generally recommended that you go to the professional first, and see how its done, and then try it out for yourself at home when you are comfortable with the whole process. If the use of microdermabrasion crystals still bothers you- ask around the neighborhood or friends or family if they have tried themselves. A friendly recommendation with real life results can really make a big difference to the surety of your decision.

So in conclusion, this is just background information for you to feel at ease with the ins and outs of microdermabrasion. To really confirm whether it will make a difference, go ahead and try it out, there are thousands of cleaner, more beautified faces out there because of it!

In a recent ASAPS study, chemical peels and microdermabrasions were among the most popular non-surgical cosmetic enhancement procedures.

Unfortunately, these procedures must be repeated several times a year to maintain their results. Chemical peels will help even skin pigmentation and improve the texture of the skin.

Microdermabrasions remove the outer most layer of dead cells, which with multiple treatments reduces lentigenes or brown spots and makes the skin appear refreshed. However, even when combined, chemical peels and microdermabrasions simply cannot effectively treat lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and loose skin.

Reliant Technologies, the originator of fractional laser skin resurfacing, offers a way to treat pigmentation and texture like chemical peels and microdermabrasion but also effectively treats lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and loose skin, often with a single treatment, that lasts for years.

Fraxel lasers are separated by two classes- Erbium and CO2, or non-ablative and ablative. The Fraxel Re:store is an Erbium non-ablative class laser. By employing a continuous scanning pattern, the practioner can control the density with which the laser treats the skin. The laser coagulates microscopic pixels which penetrate 1.5 millimeters into the skin, called microthermal zones, which stimulate collagen synthesis for removal of lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and tightening the skin. This fractionated treatment also evens skin pigmentation and texture. Because this is a non-ablative laser, multiple treatments may be required to achieve optimal results.

The Fraxel Re:pair is a fractional ablative CO2 class laser, and is the only fractioned CO2 that has been clinically proven and received FDA clearance for treatment of lines, wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, textural abnormalities, and vascular dyschromia (redness). The Fraxel Re:pair has also been clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of acne and atrophic scars. Utilizing the same continuous scanning technique as the Fraxel Re:store, a microscopic treatment zone is penetrated, removing old skin and causing an instantaneous contraction from untreated skin, producing a tightening effect.

With minimal downtime and the risks associated with surgery removed, the Fraxel Re:pair treatment offers a preventative measure to someone who is considering a facelift in their future. Since this laser is ablative, a single treatment will produce significant results.

With the popularity of cosmetic procedures on the rise, it is important to know the effectiveness and implications of a procedure in order to determine what will work best for you. If you have enjoyed the benefits of ******* and microdermabrasions, consider laser resurfacing as a means to acheive more significant and permanent results.

Microdermabrasion is a ground-breaking beautifying treatment that very efficiently removes the upper layer of dead skin cells to reveal healthier skin below. It removes fine lines, wrinkles, scars and stretch marks and generally damaged skin. It can be done professionally at doctors clinics, spas and even at home, if you are experienced enough. Professional treatments can be quite costly and for a whole treatment regime can cost up to $1000-$2000 depending on where you live. In simple terms, tiny micro-crystals (e.g. aluminium oxide) are blasted onto the skin to remove the dead skin cells, and then a wand is used as a vacuum to clear them up right afterwards. Creams and special ointments can be used to supplement the procedure to make it more enjoyable. If you didnt already know, the procedure is painless and there are very few side-effects.

Some people question whether home microdermabrasion will cause more redness or soreness than professional microdermabrasion. The truth is that there will be slightly redder skin after home microdermabrasion, but this is purely because of the modified chemicals within the kit that are safe to be used at home. Make-up can easily be applied to cover this redness, and it will only take 1-2 days for your skin to return to normal.

Further, microdermabrasion is not only limited to the face (as many people falsely believe). You can use it on nearly any surface with skin on it. Knees, elbows, shoulders, your back, remember also that mothers can also use to remove stretch marks.

More people worry that their skin will start to scale off after the procedure. This is normal, there can also be redness after home microdermabrasion especially, so dont be alarmed. It is a side-effect of the sometimes incomplete abrading effect of the crystals that were used to remove the dead skin cells; some skin cells on the surface of your skin will continue to fall off, but only temporarily for a day or two after the procedure.

A final pressing issue is how much force one should I apply with a home system. Gentle force with circular motions over the specific area is the answer. It is not good to apply heavy pressure. Also, if you are someone with sensitive skin, test microdermabrasion on a small patch of skin before you carry out the whole procedure, just to make sure you are not allergic to the material.
