| What is microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that polishes away the upper layers of skin to smooth the areaÕs texture and promote rejuvenating growth. The procedure employs a tool that uses a diamond coated head on a suction device to abrade the skin,removing one fine layer at a time. The procedure is effective for smoothing out mild skin blemishes, such as fine wrinkles, age spots, and light acne scars. It also provokes the body to produce new skin cells and increased collagen, which improves skin elasticity and makes it look fresher. It usually takes a series of somewhere between five and twelve microdermabrasion treatments, each spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the desired effects. The new, smoother skin can be maintained through periodic treatments every few months or so. Despite the apparent overall length of the treatment process, each treatment is fairly quick, painless, and undemanding with regards to recovery. This simplicity has quickly made microdermabrasion one of the most popular cosmetic treatments. |
