Are you upset with your skin tone? Do you not like the way your skin appears? Do you feel like it would have given you more confidence if your skin was more evenly textured without all those wrinkles, acne and acne marks and other imperfections? Well, you can get a flawless skin now, without much efforts, with microdermabrasion.
Microdermabrasion Procedure
Microdermabrasion is a very safe, minimal invasive procedure, aimed at exfoliating your skin to remove the upper layer of epidermis of the skin and the dead skin cells and make way for new skin to develop. It involves using a diamond tip hand-held device that will exfoliate your dead skin cells and suction them to remove them from your skin. Another technique that can be used is crystal microdermabrasion, in which fine crystals of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate are sprayed on the skin to rub away the epidermis and these particles along with the dead skin cells are suctioned immediately. However, there is a risk of crystal particles getting into the nose or eyes, so the procedure using diamond tip device is much safer, especially for the areas around the eyes and nose.
Who can consider undergoing Microdermabrasion Acne treatment?
Microdermabrasion is suitable for people of any skin type and skin color. Any person who wants to get rid of acne and acne marks, wrinkles, stretch marks, age marks and such other skin imperfections can consult a dermatologist and undergo a microdermabrasion procedure. It is a relatively safer procedure, with minimal side effects and little or no downtime. The patients can resume their routine immediately after the treatment, as it involves no anesthetics or numbing agent and is a painless procedure.
The new skin that will appear after the procedure will be pink, which comes to your normal skin color in some days. You must avoid sun exposure for some days after the procedure and use moisturizers and sun screens because the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight after the procedure, and if not protected, it can result in pigmentation.
Risk Factors
Microdermabrasion is a very safe procedure, with no risks involved. The only side effects you can have in a microdermabrasion procedure are redness, swelling and tenderness in the skin, but these subside within a few hours. Sometimes, the patient may get bruises due to the vacuum or suction, but these also disappear in some days. If the crystals go into the eyes or nose, it may cause irritation, but that is also manageable. There may be minor scarring, but that is in rarest of the rare cases.
So, there is no downside to microdermabrasion acne treatment and any person can safely undergo the procedure, without worrying about any risks. All the patients have to do is be honest with their dermatologist, tell them their expectations with the treatment and keep them aware of any other skin allergies they are facing or other treatments they are undergoing, so that the dermatologist can determine when it is best for him to start with the procedure and the number of sessions the patient may require.
The number of sessions required to be taken depend on the severity of the condition and your expectations. Usually it starts with one session a week, which later comes down to one session a month for maintenance.
