Microdermabrasion is one of the beauty industry’s most widely known and popular cosmetic surgery treatments. Not only is microdermabrasion highly effective at treating skin issues, microdermabrasion is one of the most convenient cosmetic procedures available since it can take approximately 30 minutes to complete. No wonder microdermabrasion has been dubbed “the lunchtime facial”.
Alongside it being one of the most convenient cosmetic surgery treatments, microdermabrasion is non-invasive and there is little to no down time needed to recover from the procedure.
Here we take a look at the finer points of microdermabrasion and how the treatment is ideal for skin correction issues, such as acne.
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a type of cosmetic surgery treatment that is undertaken to refresh the appearance of the skin.
Because the skin is continually producing new cells, this means that our older cells eventually die off, where they are left on the surface of the skin until they are removed. Microdermabrasion is used to remove these old, dead skin cells which when removed, reveal healthier and softer skin.
Microdermabrasion for Acne
Microdermabrasion is a fantastic cosmetic surgery treatment that can unclog pores, reduce pimples and improve superficial acne scarring while improving overall quality of the skin.
Acne is essentially caused by a build up on oils on the skin’s surface, whether it be naturally occurring oils or build up due to the use of makeup and other facial products which have not been adequately removed. Removing these oils by exfoliating the skin is the best way to clean the surface of the skin, which is why microdermabrasion is beneficial to people experiencing acne.
If your skin is prone to pimples, whiteheads or blackheads, particularly in areas of your face such as the T-Zone, it is highly likely that you will experience improved skin quality with microdermabrasion.
It is important for us to highlight that microdermabrasion is not a good cosmetic surgery treatment for those who suffer from inflammatory acne. That is conditions such as lesions or cysts. For these types of acne, exfoliating the skin, whether it be through microdermabrasion or any other brushing or scrubbing motions, will only aggravate the skin further. This will typically contribute to the development of more pimples and extend the amount of time needed for your skin to recover.
Here at Timeless Cosmetics we recommend Microdermabrasion for skin correction typically every fortnight, however, upon consultation with our cosmetic nurses, an individual treatment plan will be created for you depending on your own skin.
