Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the skin to improve its texture and appearance. It uses a handheld device that sprays tiny crystals onto the skin. They remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This process can help improve a wide range of skin conditions including acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. Let’s take a deeper look into the different skin conditions that can be improved by microdermabrasion!
Acne scars.
Acne scars can be frustrating to deal with as they often leave behind uneven, textured skin. Microdermabrasion can help to improve the appearance of acne scars by removing the top layer of skin and stimulating collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity. By promoting its production, microdermabrasion can help smooth out the skin and reduce the appearance of scars.
“Microdermabrasion works best for certain types of depressed acne scars, which cause pits in the skin,” explains Kristeen Cherney on Healthline.com, “Microdermabrasion may also be useful for people dealing with active mild-to-moderate breakouts. In addition to removing dead skin cells that can clog pores, the procedure also reduces excess oil (sebum) from these pores.”
Fine lines and wrinkles.
As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin. This leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. This can result in smoother, firmer-looking skin.
“The vacuum of the anti wrinkle microdermabrasion facial works to stimulate the production of collagen in the facial lines of the skin,” informs the U.K.’s SkinBase, “As we age elastin and collagen production starts to slow down. The combination of collagen stimulation and increased skin renewal will improve the condition of the skin’s surface smoothing out fine lines and deep forehead wrinkles – Microdermabrasion for wrinkles is a proven treatment.”
Hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of dark spots or patches on the skin. It can be caused by sun damage, hormonal changes or injury to the skin. Microdermabrasion can help improve hyperpigmentation. It does so by exfoliating the top layer of skin and promoting new cell growth. This process can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and even out skin tone.
“While there are a number of treatments available for hyperpigmentation, microdermabrasion is often considered to be one of the most effective,” says Dr. Justin Boey of Singapore on his website, “Typically, a series of microdermabrasion treatments is required in order to see the best results. The number of treatments needed will vary depending on the severity of the hyperpigmentation. For most people, a series of 4-6 treatments is typically recommended.”
Enlarged pores.
Enlarged pores can be caused by excess oil production, genetics or aging. Microdermabrasion can help to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores. By removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth, microdermabrasion can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of pores.
