Benefits of Microdermabrasion

As you grow older, you may develop undesired features such as; unhealthy-looking skin, wrinkles, dark spots, and a tired-looking appearance. If you are experiencing these issues, you might consider undergoing a microdermabrasion treatment.

Dr. Michael Gold, a board-certified dermatologist, along with other skin specialists and experts in facial rejuvenation highly recommends the microdermabrasion procedure. According to them, this method will allow you to look younger and look better. It will refresh your aging and dull skin in a safe and effective manner.

Though there are numerous treatment options out there that you can incorporate into your skincare regimen, a powerful tool will be more effective in rejuvenating the skin and making it as smooth as possible. This is why microdermabrasion would be the most fitting option. The microdermabrasion treatment can be found at DESUAR Spa for only $140 per session.

It cannot be denied that there will be poking and prodding involved in the procedure, but the results and benefits from the treatment will all be worth it in the end.

Dr. Arielle Nagler, a dermatologist at Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology at New York University Langone Medical Center, defined microdermabrasion treatment as a slightly invasive procedure that uses minimally abrasive equipment to gently exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells on the surface. It is a type of mechanical exfoliation tool that vacuums dead skin cells and impurities. Its definition can be easily derived from the term itself as micro means small, derm means the dermis of the skin, and abrasion is to scrape away. Thus, this technique involves microscopic abrasions to remove the top layer of the skin.

Before going through this procedure, it is important that you understand what the treatment is all about and how does it work. Firstly, the microdermabrasion treatment uses a slightly abrasive device that scrubs your skin with very fine crystals, and little by little buffs the damaged layer of your skin. The equipment also destroys the crystals and the dead skin cells that have accumulated in your skin. Microdermabrasion slowly removes the dull top layer of your skin so that the fresh, younger-looking skin beneath will be revealed. The crystals are then gently wiped off the skin using a brush or warm towel. This procedure is very beneficial as it allows the new skin layer underneath to grow, ignites and stimulates the production of collagen, and brings back the smoothness, softness, and firmness of your skin. With that, you will have an overall visible rejuvenated and fresh appearance.
