Professional Microdermabrasion
Professional microdermabrasion is an ideal skin-care option for busy people looking for a minimally invasive way to reduce facial wrinkles, treat acne scars, or restore a more even texture. A simple, professional, non-surgical procedure that can be accomplished in an hour, requires no downtime and shows visible results after one treatment sounds almost too good to be true. However, it is now a common, tried and true procedure. The professional exfoliation procedure is less abrasive than chemical peels and more effective than the microdermabrasion creams that can be used at home.
Professional microdermabrasion works by using small, crystallized particles of a substance like aluminum oxide to abrade the top layer of skin, known as the stratum corneum. This layer is composed mostly of dead cells and other detritus that can cause a dull or oily complexion. The continuous, high-pressure stream of particles is massaged into the face using a handpiece which also has a vacuum component that removes the crystals and exfoliated skin as cells are sloughed off.
Who Would Benefit from Professional Microdermabrasion Treatments?
The top layer of skin removed by microdermabrasion is often the root of many complexion problems, acne and uneven pigmentation chief among them. Unclogging the pores with this facial procedure can often help to reduce acne. Because the treatment removes the epidermal layer, it can also reduce surface-level scars, blemishes and wrinkles.
The professionals of AZSkinnovations.com recommend this skin-care option for clients with mild sun-related damage and slight acne scarring. Since the procedure reveals a new, healthy layer of skin, clients whose complaint is an overall lack of luster would also benefit from professional microdermabrasion.
