Microdermabrasion - What is it and Why is it so Popular?
Microdermabrasion, which is commonly known as the lunch time peel, was first introduced in Europe in 1986.
It has been used in the United States since about 1995 as a non-invasive alternative to chemical peels.
The rapid growth in popularity has been due to a high level of patient acceptance with essentially no discomfort or side effects.
The natural aging process that reduces cell turnover and collagen along with damaging effects of the sun and environmental stressors can take its toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and color.
Not only is the face likely a victim of these changes, but the neck, décolleté, arms, and hands are affected as well.
Microdermabrasion can reduce the effects of aging on our skin.
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture and color by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant.
It can stimulate the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin.
The effect of this micro massage actionunder the skin, results in an increase in blood circulation to the skin, an increase in oxygen supplied to the skin, and increase in collagen production, and rapid epidermal cellular turnover producing healthy new cells resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.
This is non-surgical, non-invasive, and pain-free, requiring no downtime after a treatment.
Normal activities may be resumed immediately.
The number of treatments may very depending on the skin type and condition.

The ancient Egyptians are said to be the first to use these skin care techniques to improve their skin.
Kings and queens used alabaster and pumice to remove blemishes and rough spots leaving their skin soft and smooth.
Microdermabrasion was developed in Italy using aluminum oxide powder for this skin care technique.
The process uses a small orifice to abrade the powder onto the skin and a vacuum cleanses the pores.
The technique proved effective; however, it has some disadvantages including aluminum oxide crystals are left imbedded in the skin and floating around in the air, there is a significant volume of material to dispose of after the procedures and the crystals are left in the hair and clothes of both the client and clinician afterward, Diamond crystals embedded onto microdermabrasion treatment wands offers a 21 century skin care approach.
It eliminates the powders and crystals (aluminum oxide and salt) and has made microdermabrasion a clean controlled procedure - the better way to healthier skin.
