Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion and dermabrasion are the two most commonly employed skin rejuvenation techniques, particularly beneficial for adults who have recently begun to experience signs of aging.

Both of these procedures operate by gently exfoliating the skin, promoting collagen production, and effectively addressing these concerns.

• The Working Principle

  Utilizing a rotating wire brush, this procedure initiates controlled injuries on the designated areas, encouraging the generation of new cells in the affected region. The duration required for these wounds to recover varies from several days to over a week.

  Alternatively, another type of Microdermabrasion known as Microdermabrasion Microparticles employs the application of abrasive microparticles to enhance collagen production on the affected surface. Typically, this method does not result in the creation of any wounds.

• Results and Effectiveness

  Microdermabrasion is effective for people having any of the following concerns:

  • Scars
  • Keloids
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven Pigmentation
  • Sun tan or other forms of Sun Damage
  • Skin Tightening
  • Routine Skin Rejuvenation
• Side Effects and Limitations

  As of now, there have been no documented instances of side effects associated with Microdermabrasion; nonetheless, a few individuals might experience mild bruising or temporary redness, which typically resolves within a week.

  The effectiveness of Microdermabrasion is heavily reliant on the skill and experience of the dermatologist or therapist administering the treatment. If performed incorrectly, the procedure can potentially lead to adverse outcomes such as hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, skin thickening, or even scarring.

  Hence, it is advisable to seek medical assistance if the treated area becomes red, swollen, or itchy, as this may indicate a need for further evaluation and care.

  The peeling crystals are administered onto the skin using a plastic nozzle connected to a vacuum suction device, resulting in a sensation akin to scraping or a gritty texture. During the procedure, the skin may turn slightly pink or red, with the extent of coloration varying based on an individual's sensitivity to friction. However, this redness significantly diminishes within 15-30 minutes, leaving behind a radiant or flushed appearance.

  The optimal results from a Microdermabrasion treatment typically become apparent 24 to 48 hours after the procedure.
