Microdermabrasion is a distinctly modern procedure that proves there is a place for high tech thinking in the beauty world. This unique skin treatment was developed by an Italian doctor in the mid 1980s and has since caught on all over the world.
1.Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing technique that has results similar to a chemical peel or a laser peel; but it is faster, less invasive, less dangerous, and less uncomfortable than these treatments and has very comparable results. Unlike a chemical or laser peel, a microdermabrasion technique doesnt require any recovery time. It is possible to have a microdermabrasion in the afternoon and still hit the town that very night with fresh, smooth skin. Microdermabrasion is no more invasive or time consuming than a massage or a manicure. This fast turnaround has made microdermabrasion a popular treatment. Microdermabrasion is a technique that removes the fine outer layer of skin; revealing a fresh, young looking complexion, and causing the face to quickly regenerate new layers of smooth, flawless skin that can keep you looking great for weeks.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion (MDA) is a minimally invasive epidermal resurfacing procedure used to treat uneven skin tone/texture, photoaging, striae, melasma, and scars, including acne scars. It is widely available and one of the most common nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States.
Results • By removing cells from your outermost layer of skin, microdermabrasion promotes new cells to regenerate more quickly than they would ordinarily. The result is skin that looks firmer, more toned, and more youthful.
Effectiveness • Microdermabrasionworks on all skin types and colors. It makes subtle changes, causing no skin color change or scarring. It is not effective for deeper problems such as scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, or deep acne scars. With microdermabrasion, there is less down time than with dermabrasion.

Uses and benefits
The goal of microdermabrasion is to make a person’s complexion smoother, brighter, and more even in color.
People often request microdermabrasion to address:
1. dullness in the complexion
2. uneven skin tone
3. uneven skin texture
4. age spots
5. dark spots that can form after acne clears up
6. melasma, a common issue that forms dark spots or patches on the skin
7. scars
Dermatologists may also use microdermabrasion to enhance the results of anti-aging or skin-bleaching products. The procedure can help these products penetrate the skin.
How to prepare?
Speak to a healthcare professional before undergoing microdermabrasion. Dermatologists usually offer prior consultations.
The AAD recommend that people ask about the following before committing to the procedure:
1. what results to expect
2. the number of treatments needed
3. potential side effects
4. risk factors
5. the cost of the treatments
People can also ask to see before-and-after photos and to speak with someone who has undergone microdermabrasion at the clinic.
A dermatologist will usually examine a person’s skin during the consultation to ensure that microdermabrasion is appropriate.
