Healthy And Beautiful Skin With Microdermabrasion
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012Our skin not only keeps our body temperature stable, but it also helps keep bacteria and other harmful pathogens from entering. Which is why when our skin is weak or damaged, it can lead to infection and poor health.
Adopting a regular cleansing routine is the best way of maintaining your skin healthy. By removing dead skin cells, debris, and excess sebum you will be helping your healthy skin to show through while also maintaining your pores clear. It is also a good idea to perform deep cleaning at least twice a year.
You can achieve this goal by having facials or microdermabrasion. If you have a particular skin problem, such as age spots or wrinkles, then you can try chemical using peels or dermabrasion, however, if you do decide to undergo dermabrasion you should know that it also implies the use of anesthesia, wound care, and a certain recovery period.
Chemical peels use different acids to remove certain layers of the skin. As the skin continues to heal, a new and healthier layer of skin replaces the damaged one. Dermabrasion, on the other hand, uses an abrasive wand to remove the epidermis.
Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, does not require anesthesia or downtime and is much gentler than dermabrasion or chemical peels. Which is why you can treat certain skin problems with this cosmetic treatment and not risk irritating your skin.
This type of treatment also uses an abrasive wand, however, the process is much gentler than dermabrasion. It isn’t meant to remove the epidermis, but it does slough off the dead skin cells and damaged skin. The gentle nature of this procedure allows you to immediately return to your activities after having completed the session.
If you don’t want to undergo a professional microdermabrasion treatment you can actually use a home microdermabrasion system. This will allow you to control the pressure and duration of your treatment.
At home microdermabrasion systems usually come with a small machine that produces the abrading action. Some systems are also equipped with different attachments to produce varying effects, and include a special cream containing micro-crystals.
To use this system, you simply apply the cream to the attachment head and turn on the machine. Some machines may or may not come with timers to help you control the amount of time your skin is abraded. Once you have finished abrading your skin, simply rinse off any of the remaining product.
At Home Microdermabrasion Creams are another option. These creams contain abrading micro-crystals (which are more abrasive than traditional scrubs) and soothing ingredients to help minimize any irritation or redness. You can apply the cream with a hand held system or by using your hand.
Always follow up this treatment with a soothing moisturizer. It is also a good idea to use sunscreen before going outside.
Skin Treatment with an at home microdermabrasion cream such as BIOSKINEXFOL are gentler than most traditional microdermabrasion treatments. In fact, some people consider this product to be the best for scar treatment because it is made with a perfect blend of an immune serum that dissolves scars in the dermis and activates skin regeneration, and abrading micro-crystals for skin resurfacing.
