In this article, we will take a detailed look at microdermabrasion and its effects. We will also describe how to prepare, the possible side effects, and the differences between this procedure and dermabrasion.
Before You Get Dermabrasion or Microdermabrasion
You’ll consult with the professional who’s doing the procedure.
In a dermabrasion consultation, you’ll discuss your goals, the procedure’s risks and benefits, and the type of anesthesia that will be used. You’ll also get instructions to follow before and after dermabrasion and perhaps have “before” photos taken to compare with your results later.
With microdermabrasion, the consultation is similar but with less talk about anesthetics and risks because it is a simpler procedure.
Microdermabrasion Treatment
How does it work?
Our VERSALIS PEEL from Silhouet-Tone is a new and powerful microdermabrasion device that offers the versatility functions of the crystal-free system and the highly pure corundum crystal application, which can be precisely performed thanks to our unique Turbo Flow Projection System. The Turbo Flow System propels crystals onto the skin, safely and evenly, while keeping a circular, vortex-like motion. This offers a constant linear and rotational velocity, without causing any discomfort or irritation of the skin.
Is microdermabrasion safe?
Yes. As with all treatments that penetrate the skin or disrupt the skin’s surface, the safest procedure will be carried out by a professional. In fact, many people choose microdermabrasion over chemical peels and laser treatment because it is generally safer and more cost-effective.
The procedure may be a little uncomfortable but shouldn’t hurt. However, your skin will be slightly tender afterwards and a bit red.
Uses and benefits
People with uneven pigmentation, fine lines and clogged pores can benefit from a series of microdermabrasion treatments.
The procedure stimulates blood flow, which increases the nutrition delivered to skin cells. This improves cell production, which improves skin’s elasticity and texture. So, if you have scarring, it may help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
However, it’s not recommended if you have skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, active sunburn, herpes, lupus, open sores, psoriasis, fragile capillaries or widespread acne. This can irritate the skin and cause further breakouts.
