How Microdermabrasion Works
Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation technique used for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, superficial pigmentation, blotchy or dull skin, sun-damaged skin, and stretch marks.
Microdermabrasion works by gently exfoliating the skin with aluminum oxide crystals to remove the upper layers of your skin and stimulate cell turnover. Healthier skin cells are brought to the surface, resulting in improved texture, tone, and elasticity. Microdermabrasion also increases the effectiveness of many products used at home and can be performed in conjunction with several cosmetic surgery procedures.
During microdermabrasion Fairfield County aestheticians gently move the microdermabrasion device back and forth over the skin. The machine emits abrasive crystals through the hand-piece, which is passed over the face until all areas in need of treatment have been covered. As this process is carried out, a vacuum removes the used crystals and the dead skin that is being eliminated. Though some people are nervous about the procedure, the microdermabrasion tool is designed in a way that prevents it from creating heat or discomfort in the patient. Treatment typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
