Concept of microdermabrasion and how it works<\/h2>\n

Microdermabrasion uses a tiny crystal to remove the superficial layer of the skin. Basically, what it does is it gets rid of the dead topmost layer of the skin by scratching it. As you intentionally remove the topmost layer of the skin, the body will interpret it as an injury. So, what it does is it replaces the old skin cell with a new and healthy one.<\/p>\n

Using the microdermabrasion machine, the topmost layer of the skin is buffed and polished by the machine\u2019s diamond tip. As it buffed the skin, it also vacuums the loose skin cells. Some machines have tiny crystals, which will remove the topmost layer of the skin. However, modern machines use the diamond tip as it is gentler and more effective. It is more expensive but it does better work.<\/p>\n

The procedure is non-invasive to the point that you can perform it in your home. Before only skin care clinics offered microdermabrasion and they offer it as a part of the facial treatment. A microdermabrasion is performed after the facial procedure.<\/p>\n

With the availability of microdermabrasion machine, people don\u2019t necessarily need to visit a skin care clinic as they can do microdermabrasion procedure in their home. The entire procedure only takes 20 to 30 minutes. You can have it performed on your face and other parts of the body such as the neck, back, chest, feet, and hands.
