Learn How Microdermabrasion Can Renew Your Skin

byAlma Abell

Having a Microdermabrasion treatment can dramatically transform your skin. This is one of the easiest methods of making your skin look younger and healthier, since it requires no invasion into the tissues. This treatment removes the outer layers of dead and damaged skin so new skin cell growth is encouraged. Treatment not only rejuvenates the skin, but also allows for skincare products to be more readily absorbed. To ensure you get the best results, it is advised you have this treatment carried out by a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.

Microdermabrasion uses special tools that are operated in conjunction with fine crystals or diamonds. As the tool goes across the surface of the skin, it removes the uppermost skin cell layers. This can remove hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. This treatment can be carried out on the face, hands and chest.

To perform the treatment, the doctor will use a crystal or diamond powder. This fine powder is worked into the skin using a special wand. The tool also vaccuums the fine powder as the treatment takes place.

Many doctors these days are using diamond powders because they offer the same results as crystal powders with less irritation and discomfort. In some offices, there are also water devices that can remove the outer layers of dead skin so the skin is renewed and more youthful.

Most people will need several treatments to get the full results they are hoping to achieve. You will need to have a series of six treatments spaced ten to fourteen days apart. This will ensure your skin has time to recover between treatments so you can get the best results.

Though you can perform this treatment at home, these kits will not offer you the results a professional treatment can. Some at-home kits can actually contain ingredients that cause irritation and damage to the skin.

If you are interested in having this treatment, contact the office of David K. Hiranaka M.D. D.M.D. Allow them to schedule you for a consultation appointment so you can learn about the benefits of this skin treatment. Finally, you can have the beautiful skin you have been longing for.
