If there is one skin treatment that does not get enough credit is Microdermabrasion. It’s one of the most effective skin treatments to offer healthy glowing skin, it is non-invasive and client’s skin are left cleaner and brighter. It is one of my favourite treatments because of its simplicity, customizable ways and effectiveness of the treatments.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Simply put, Microdermabrasion is a treatment that gently exfoliates the skin, stimulate cell renewal and reduces hyperpigmentation and fine lines wrinkles. There are two types of Microdermabrasion, mechanical and manual; manual Microdermabrasion is using microbeads and massaging it into the skin for a deep exfoliation, mechanical Microdermabrasion is using a machine using a Diamond hand piece or a Crystal hand piece to mechanically exfoliate and treat the skin.
What’s The Difference Between Diamond & Crystal Microdermabrasion?
In Diamond Microdermabrasion skin treatments, the diamond-tip hand piece makes direct contact with the face and exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and other impurities like blackheads. While this is happening, the exfoliated particles are suctioned into the Microdermabrasion device. Diamond Microdermabrasion is extremely effective for body treatments such as back and booty facials.
Crystal Microdermabrasion works in a similar way, but instead of a diamond-tip hand piece, tiny crystals are sprayed onto the surface of the skin at a relatively high velocity. The impact of these crystals on the skin produces the exfoliation effect and like Diamond Microdermabrasion skin treatments, the dead skin cells are then suctioned away.
What Are The Benefits Of Microdermabrasion … Let Me Count The Ways
(IYKYK) (Sorry I just had to, and those who know me well will know I had to)
Microdermabrasion procedures can provide several important benefits, including:
- Reduces fine lines & wrinkles
- Reduces the appearance of scarring
- Smoothens out uneven skin
- Stimulates cell renewal
- Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation
- Enhances the absorption of skincare products
- Promotes collagen production
- Helps to reduce acne by clearing away dead skin cells and impurities that can clog pores
Does Microdermabrasion Hurt?
Absolutely not! Microdermabrasion is non-invasive and can be quite comfortable considering all its benefits. Microdermabrasion is considered the ‘lunch time’ treatment because there is little to no downtime. The skin after a Microdermabrasion treatment is left feeling clean, bright, tight and glowing. Microdermabrasion is also suited for all skin types and can treat all skin concerns except for acne as the motion of suction with Microdermabrasion can break pustules and spread those impurities and make the skin worse; otherwise Microdermabrasion is for everyone.
Why I Love Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an old favourite of mine, it does so much with so little. Microdermabrasion treatments are great because they can be customizable from cleansers, to enzymes to masks, the boost of the deep exfoliation from Microdermabrasion leaves the skin looking and feeling so good. I always offer my clients a Microdermabrasion as an introduction into the skin treatment world, in its simplicity, Microdermabrasion offers amazing results and clients leave happy and refreshed. I love seeing the immediate results from Microdermabrasion, though I must admit that Microdermabrasion can ruin my fun with extractions as the power of the suction can actually take out blackheads effectively and smoothly; while it eliminates my favourite part of the treatment, I’m okay with it as long as we get the results. I will never give up my love for Microdermabrasion, it’s an all-around beneficial treatment that spans from face to body, to all skin types and can treat most skin concerns; I mean, what’s not to love?
