Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, a non-chemical procedure that is used to reveal younger & healthier looking skin by removing the layers of dead skin cells from the top. It enhances the skin and removes the effects of sun damage, wrinkles, age spots, skin inflammation scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.
The technique utilizes a unique utensil with a rough surface to delicately sand away the thick external layer of dead skin to restore it.
An alternate microdermabrasion strategy splashes fine particles of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a vacuum/suction to achieve similar results. This process is generally considered safe for most skin types and colors, however, people choose to get this procedure done in case of the following skin concerns:
- fine facial lines or wrinkles
- age spots
- sun damage
- uneven pigmentation
- clogged pores
- skin texture problems
- minor scars
- rosacea or acne
The best candidates are healthy people that have minor issues with their skin. It is important to have realistic expectations about what this procedure can achieve. Proper research and a consultation from the doctor are advised if you suffer from rosacea or acne to ascertain the effectiveness of microdermabrasion; because in some cases getting the procedure done can aggravate the acne. In case you fear that the procedure may not be effective for you, there are other options like facial peels or dermabrasions which can be used to get your skin back it’s health. www.salonpark.com offers a few of these services in the Houston area.
If you suffer from the following conditions than microdermabrasion is not the procedure for you.
- deep scars
- active keloids
- undiagnosed lesions
- a recent herpes outbreak
- warts on the face
- active acne (stages 3 and 4)
- an auto-immune system disorder
- unstable diabetes
- Pregnancy
If you have recently undergone another procedure such as collagen injections, the chemical peel should wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before getting the procedure.
The cost of the treatment depends on your region, the number of treatments and the number of dermabrasions a patient needs. However, it is more affordable than many other procedures and the non-invasive nature ensures a lower risk factor.
Skin is the largest organ of your body and taking care of it should be your priority. Because a healthy glowing skin not only makes you look good, it makes you feel good.
