- A difficult puberty that was made even more depressing by an infestation of pus “volcanoes” on your face, neck, back and chest.
- A job that prevents you from getting enough sleep five to six days a week.
- Deep pock marks from the late contraction of chicken pox.
- Scars from light injuries through the years.
The impact of all these may have you lamenting the overall condition of your skin, and you feel even worse when you have people around you who seem as flawless as can be.
You don’t have to live your life wallowing in self-pity because your skin isn’t naturally glowing and smooth. There are dermatological solutions available out there that can have you enjoying the soft and smooth skin you have always wanted. One of these solutions is microdermabrasion. This procedure uses a crystal microdermabrasion system, which is a handheld device that is composed of a pump, connecting tube and vacuum technology. What it does is it creates a high-pressure blast of inert crystals including aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium chloride, and sodium bicarbonate to exfoliate the skin effectively. After this step, it then removes the crystals and sloughed-off rough skin to reveal fresh, smooth skin. In several sessions, the appearance of scars and other blemishes can diminish significantly, if not entirely.
Currently, skin clinics offer two types of microdermabrasion. You have crystal microdermabrasion, the process of which was described earlier, and diamond microdermabrasion. They basically produce the same results, but the latter type edges out crystal microdermabrasion because of its ability to effectively target the sensitive skin around the mouth and the eyes, and for so doing without crystals (which patients may inhale or which can be blown into their eyes, leading to irritation). Diamond microdermabrasion uses a handheld device with natural diamond tips. The only issue with this option is the risk of bacteria from dead skin cells staying on the tip of the device and being spread to other areas of the body. However, with completely sanitary practices, this risk can be managed well.
The beauty of these dermatological procedures is that they are perfect for people with superficial skin woes who want to take things slow; side effects will be minimal and there will not be much downtime. Also, if you don’t like the idea of a heavy one-time cash-out, microdermabrasion will allow you to build up your financial pool so treatment will not automatically deplete your resources.
It’s worth noting, too, that they are completely safe—so safe that tweens and more elderly folks may also choose to undergo these skin treatments. Therefore, if you’re right smack in between these age groups(as probability says you most likely are), then you’re good to go!
If you want to finally look #flawless (thanks, Beyoncé!), microdermabrasion is a splendid solution to consider. Given its efficacy, convenience and cost-effectiveness, there’s just no going wrong with this treatment. In a matter of time, you’ll finally have the great skin you have always desired.
