Microdermabrasion is a safe and non-invasive exfoliating treatment effective in improving skin texture for vibrant, rejuvenated skin. This treatment can be used to reduce large pores, mild acne, dry, dull patches and fine lines. Microdermabrasion should not be confused with dermabrasion, which is a much more intense treatment commonly used for reducing scarring and skin growths. We offer microdermabrasion in Austin, as well as a whole host of other complementary skin care treatments to suit your goals.
Factors Contributing to Dull, Lackluster Skin
The skin can be broken down to 2 basic layers: The epidermis is the topmost layer, and the dermis sits just underneath. Within the epidermis, the outermost layer is called the stratum corneum. This is the part of the epidermis that is physically exposed to the outdoor elements, and is the layer that is sloughed off using microdermabrasion treatments. Aside from environmental stressors, hormones, emotional stress, diet, lack of sleep and other lifestyle choices also contribute to slowing down the skin’s cell renewal processes. Microdermabrasion treatments give skin a boost, revealing fresh, glowing skin underneath.
Microdermabrasion Treatments
Microdermabrasion utilizes a special tool that shoots out a stream of fine crystals which exfoliate the stratum corneum layer. The dead skin cells, impurities and used crystals are then vacuumed up. The treatment stimulates circulation and boosts collagen production. You will notice a healthy glow and smoother, softer skin. Mild redness present immediately after treatment will resolve itself within a few hours time.
After a microdermabrasion treatment, it is crucial that you use the recommended creams to help your face heal and retain moisture. With the topmost layer of the epidermis sloughed off, you will be able to gain maximum benefit from any products you use, as they will be more readily taken up by the lower layers of the skin.
Maintaining Beautiful, Glowing Skin
For best results, treatments are typically scheduled 1 to 3 weeks apart, depending on your skin type and condition. With each treatment, you will notice progressive improvements to the look and texture of the skin. Get rid of excess toxins and dead skin cells weighing you down. Give your skin’s renewal process a boost and smooth out those fine lines, dark spots and other stubborn blemishes that have accumulated over time.
