What You Should Know About Microdermabrasion Treatments

April 12, 2012 robot Beauty

Microdermabrasion is a relatively new form of skin treatment that is effective in rejuvenating one’s skin. It also eliminates pimples and acne. This type of treatment involves literally scrapping off the topmost layer of skin so that new, fresh skin is revealed. While this type of treatment is neither cheap nor pain free, it is a good option as it is effective. Those who have tried various other types of skin treatments may find that microdermabrasion is the most effective of them all.

A person who wants a microdermabrasion facial can get the treatment at a local dermatologist’s clinic or a spa or health center that offers this type of treatment. It is also possible to buy a microdermabrasion facial kit at a local store or over the internet and then do the treatments at home. However, a person should always seek the advice of a dermatologist before starting a DIY microdermabrasion facial treatment. A dermatologist can confirm that this type of treatment is suitable for an individual and can either perform the treatments or give good advice regarding DIY microdermabrasion home kits.

Microdermabrasion can be used no matter what type of skin one has. However, certain precautions should always be taken. This treatment regimen dries out the skin, so using a good moisturizer is in order. One should also avoid getting too much direct sunlight while taking these treatments. Women should refrain from using full face make up such as foundation while the treatments are being taken.

While microdermabrasion is effective, there are some instances when it would not be the best option. Individuals with rosacea should not take this form of skin treatment. This type of treatment is also unsuitable for those who have cold sores, impetigo, skin fungus or burns on the area that is to be treated. This type of treatment is also not suitable for those who have Lupus, skin cancer, Hepatitis C, AIDS, HIV or some other immune deficiency. If a person starts a microdermabrasion treatment regimen and then experiences side effects, the treatment regimen should be stopped while a person seeks the advice of a dermatologist. A dermatologist will either recommend a different setting for the microdermabrasion machine or a different treatment type altogether.

Those who want to have clean, clear, youthful skin may want to consider microdermabrasion treatments. This type of treatment uses natural aluminum oxide crystals to scrape away dead skin from the face, back, neck, arms and/or hands. One can either do the treatment at home or have a dermatologist or other professional do the treatments. Microdermabrasion also helps to close large pores and boosts collagen production. However, a person must take certain precautions while taking this type of treatment, as the new skin will be quite sensitive for the first several days. A person who is taking a microdermabrasion treatment should be sure to use a good moisturizer, stay out of the sun and avoid using facial makeup in order to get the best results possible.
