Microdermabrasion
Skin care is a growing multi-million dollar industry. Every now and then, new anti-ageing creams, cosmetic techniques and skin surfacing processes are emerging. Microdermabrasion is a hugely popular non-surgical skin surfacing technique that is in vogue with women as well as men, not to leave out the elderly. It revitalizes dull skin, reduces enlarged pores, erases fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, and diminishes hyperpigmentation, stretch marks and age spots.
The process:-
Consists of fine crystals being sprayed on to the skin and vacuumed off at the same time, removing any "dead" skin cells and rejuvenating the deeper and outer layers of the skin. An additional benefit of microdermabrasion is lymphatic drainage of the kface that helps reduce fluid retention especially under the eyes. If done in combination with a chemical peel, it allows the peel to penetrate further and make skin even brighter.
Who all can go in for dermabrasion? Moreover who should avoid?
- People with sun damaged skin, hyperpigmentation.
- To be avoided by those who have thin skin or acne problems
- Diabetic people and those with auto-immune disorders should abstain

What are the advantages of microdermabrasion?

- Very little recovery time required after microdermabrasion
- It stimulates collagen and skin cell production that is essential for a youthful skin.
- No discomfort or allergy causing chemicals used
- Cheaper than other cosmetic procedures. Even home kits are available which give satisfactory results.
What side-effects can you expect after the treatment?
- You may experience a temporary redness or dry feeling in the skin.
- The treatment area may feel slightly hot, sunburned or wind burned after the process, but it should last only a few hours.
- The skin becomes extra sensitive to the sun after a microdermabrasion, so remember to wear a high-quality sunscreen with minimum SPF 15..
Most people should observe striking improvements after just a few sittings, but continue with it for the best results! Severe skin problems, such as acne scars and dark spots will take quite a few treatments before any improvement is conspicuous.
