4 Questions to Ask About Microdermabrasion Facial

Microdermabrasion, also called microderm, is a facial exfoliation treatment that uses fine crystals, clear crystals, or small scrubs to gently remove surface skin cells. It is a great way to exfoliate and improve the appearance of the skin, and can also address a variety of skin concerns, including acne, wrinkles, and large pores. Microdermabrasion can achieve smooth, healthy-looking skin without having to undergo a surgical procedure, and is also known to reduce the appearance of blemishes and scars, improving the general complexion of the skin. It is often used as a preventative measure to keep the skin looking young and healthy. To further enhance results, it may be used in combination with other skin treatments, such as chemical peels or lasers.

Yes, microdermabrasion is good for the skin and can provide many benefits. However, it is not recommended for everyone, including those who:

• Are experiencing an active skin infection
• Are experiencing an active acne breakout
• Have rosacea or telangiectasias
• Scar easily
• Are prone to hypertrophic or keloid scarring

Microdermabrasion provides a number of benefits, including:

• Controls Acne — Because microdermabrasion unclogs pores, it reduces acne breakouts caused by dead skin cells and sebum (oil) that plug up these pores.

• Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles — Microdermabrasion treatments stimulate a process known as neocollagenesis, the production of new collagen. This boost in collagen production increases skin health, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

• Treats Hyperpigmentation — a condition in which patches of skin appear darker than the surrounding skin, hyperpigmentation is typically caused by an increase in melanin production, which is often the result of acne, inflammation, or sun damage. -Microdermabrasion regulates melanin production, reducing the appearance of discolored patches of skin.

• Decreases Visibility of Acne Scars — by stimulating an increase in collagen production, microdermabrasion treats acne scars.

• Shrinks Pores — several conditions can cause pores to become enlarged, such as acne, photodamage, collagen loss, or excess sebum buildup. Microdermabrasion reduces the visibility of large pores, as well as the chances of them becoming clogged in the future.
 
In addition, microdermabrasion also provides the following benefits:

• Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
• Enhances transdermal absorption
• Enhances the efficacy of other cosmetic procedures

The cost of a microdermabrasion treatment is different in every situation and varies based on several factors, such as:

• The condition being treated
• The severity of the condition being treated
• The geographic location of the clinic
• The clinician’s expertise
 
Although the cost is dependent upon the aforementioned factors, the average microdermabrasion treatment costs around $150 to $200, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
