You will often find microdermabrasion treatment being referred to as “sand blasting”. In this process a high-pressure stream of aluminum oxide crystals is used to superficially peel the upper layer of the skin.In most of the cases microdermabrasion treatment uses units which are closed-loop negative pressure systems that pass aluminum oxide crystals into the skin using negative vacuum pressure.
But sometimes you will also find use of magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate crystals. And in some cases sodium chloride crystals and positive pressure are used.
In microdermabrasion treatment you will find microcrystals being deposited on the skin through rapid and short strokes of the hand piece. There is a tub within the handpiece of the machine. And you know, it aspirates the crystals and the skin debris at the same time. The vacuum pressure and the particle flow rate caused by it determine the volume of particles influencing the skin and causing the abrasion.
Skin depth also plays a key role in the microdermabrasion outcome. Factors like flow of crystals, speed of movement of the hand piece and the number of passes per anatomic site.
One of the main Benefits of Microdermabrasion is its anti-ageing effect. The various problems it solves include aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, acne, brown spots/pigmentation, etc.
It does not include any scratching or scrapping of the skin.
The procedure is also free from any side-effects that are associated with chemical treatments.
And don’t worry about the type of your skin. Microdermabrasion treatment is applicable for all types of skin.
Are you by any chance worried about the cost? Don’t worry pal. In all probability, the cost of a single microdermabrasion treatment will be within your reach. The cost of microdermabrasion varies somewhere between $75 - $200, depending upon the machine used and the surgeon or technician who performs the procedure.
The cost is also influenced by the country or region where you will undergo the procedure.
