Microdermabrasion is often referred to as the unsung hero of skin treatments because it is a relatively simple, yet effective procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of skin.
It is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny crystals to exfoliate the skin, removing the top layer of dead skin cells and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.
Our blog is here to expose a few less well-known reasons to choose microdermabrasion.
5 surprising facts about microdermabrasion
- Microdermabrasion can help to stimulate collagen production. This can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin and reduce the signs of aging.
- Microdermabrasion can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and eczema.
- Microdermabrasion is a relatively quick and easy procedure. Most treatments take less than an hour.
- Microdermabrasion is affordable and can be done in a spa or at home.
- Microdermabrasion is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
So how does microdermabrasion achieve all this? Let’s take a closer look at how the treatment works:
- Removing dead skin cells:
Dead skin cells can clog pores and prevent new skin cells from forming. Microdermabrasion removes these dead skin cells, allowing new skin cells to grow and produce collagen. - Increasing blood flow:
Microdermabrasion increases blood flow to the skin, which brings nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. This helps to stimulate collagen production. - Triggering a wound-healing response:
Microdermabrasion creates small micro-injuries on the skin. This triggers a wound-healing response, which stimulates the production of collagen and other skin-healing proteins. - Increasing the expression of collagen-producing genes:
Microdermabrasion has been shown to increase the expression of genes that are involved in collagen production. - Enhancing the delivery of topical products:
Microdermabrasion removes the top layer of dead skin cells, which can improve the absorption of topical skincare products. This can help to further stimulate collagen production.
It is a safe and effective way to stimulate the skin and improve its appearance.
