MICRODERMABRASION Microdermabrasion is a rapid, dry, and painless method for removing a small amount of the top layer of the skin (the epidermis). Mostly, it is the stratum corneum that is taken off, which results in immediate softening-since this layer, when thickened by photoaging, causes roughness. What actually happens is that a “localized sandstorm” moves across the skin when abrasive particles (aluminum oxide) are incorporated into a jet of air. It is relatively light treatment, which takes about 15-20 minutes. Exfoliation occurs stimulating some beneficial cell turnover. Conditions, which are treatable by microdermabrasion, include:
It is often used ‘off the face’ for areas such as the neck-chest (declotté), hands, and arms. A treatment temporarily enhances the penetration of skin care products and medications (‘cosmecuticals’) since the natural barrier is reduced. A typical treatment creates mild redness, which resolves within 24 hours, and does not interrupt normal activities. It has been termed ‘the lunch-time peel’. |
