How does micro dermabrasion work? Micro dermabrasion is the
use of a device that emits tiny crystals across the surface
of the skin, mixing gentle abrasion with suction that sucks
away the dead skin cells, blackheads and white heads. Each micro
dermabrasion treatment may take between 30 minutes to an hour.
The number of treatments recommended for maximal results can
range between 5 and 12. Treatments are usually spaced from 2
to 3 weeks apart.
Micro dermabrasion may be combined with other skin treatments
such as a light chemical peel. A light chemical peel will remove
the dead skin cells from the skin's surface layer and re-stimulate
the regenerative process. Peels are derived from fruit, vinegar
and sugar cane and include glycolic acid, TCA acid, and salicylic
acid.
High doses of vitamins including vitamin A can also be added
during the treatment to boost the skin renewal cycle. Micro
dermabrasion is not a new technique. It was first used in Europe
and adopted by United States in the late 1990s. Today, it is
used effectively to treat acne and acne prone skin, fine wrinkles,
stretch marks, and scars left from mild to moderate acne.
