Microdermabrasion-What is it?
Microdermabrasion is a skin peeling and renewing technique that removes
layers of dead cells to reveal the newer more refreshed layer of your
skin.
There are many ways of accomplishing this, some gentler than others
and some more effective than others.
The sun, pollution, stress and the years can really leave their mark on
our skin, microdermabrasion, tries to remove and minimize these signs of
wear and tear.
Microdermabrasion is not a new anti-aging technique, it goes as far back
as the Egyptians, who used to apply abrasive masks made from alabaster
particles.
Many methods were used to reveal this most appealing layer of younger skin
In their desire for younger, unblemished skin, people have used acids, plant
extracts, fire and other extreme irritants!
Microdermabrasion has evolved to a more high-tech procedure using laser
resurfacing, which has replaced the more recent chemical peel.
Do You Need Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a superficial treatment, it will NOT remove deep
wrinkles and scars.
However, if you want to remove fine lines and even out skin tone, this
procedure has proven to be very beneficial with minimum risk and rapid
recovery.
The pluses of microdermabrasion are that:
It does not require you to have anesthesia.
It is painless.
It can be repeated frequently and at short intervals.
Is quick and easy to perform.
Does not require any major interruption in your life.
The most obvious limitations to microdermabrasion is that
it needs to be
repeated, as it's effects are not lasting.
A word of caution, please be careful when choosing a professional
in this field or, any other for that matter.
There are millions of dollars being made in this ever-growing cosmetic
service and unfortunately, not ever practitioner is as skilled as he/she
claims!
Our face is the most distinguishing feature on our bodies and while we may
want to make some improvements, we don't want to risk disfigurement.
Facial rejuvenation procedures that require surgery and laser dermabrasion
are, in my opinion, best left to a very skilled, competent cosmetic surgeon.
I wouldn't trust my face to any other!
However, meicrodermabrasion can be gentler and much less invasive that those
requiring the skills of a professional.
There are now packaged, microdermabrasion kits, that you can purchase online,
in drugstores or your favourite department stores.
Know your skin type and ingredients
to which you might be allergic
FOLLOW THE LISTED INSTRUCTIONS IN THE KIT!
Here is one of the gentler"at home" microdermabrasion products I have found.
It's called "Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex" and it does just that!
It renews, plus it is made from all natural ingredients, including comfrey
and green tea.
Want to start gently?
