The Purpose Of Microdermabrasion Crystals

By Gwen Lowe


When people age, the regeneration process of the skin starts to slow down substantially. During this process, the skin sheds the dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As this natural process gets slower, the dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin. This can lead to a dullness, blocked pores, and a more pronounced appearance of wrinkles. For these issues, microdermabrasion crystals can be used to remove the accumulated dead skin cells.

At the salon or dermatologist, the process begins with a vacuuming of the skin to help stimulate blood flow and draining of the lymph nodes. This stimulation is designed to help the skin make new cells in a quicker period of time. After this initial vacuuming, the blasting begins.

Microdermabrasion is a less extensive version of dermabrasion. This procedure involves spraying the skin with a special type of crystal, called blasting. It is designed to remove the dead skin cells that have built up on the skin. After the skin is blasted, the cells and crystals are vacuumed away. Some machines are able to blast and vacuum simultaneously. Following the procedure session, the skin appears younger and feels much smoother.

Different types of crystals are available, depending on what the spa or dermatologist uses. Types made of baking soda or aluminum oxide are common. In some cases, a form of salt or a type that has a diamond tip may be available. Some places provide you with the choice while others will choose the one they feel is best suited for you.

This procedure is ideal for skin that is dull, has uneven tone, or appears tired. Unlike dermabrasion, this version is non-invasive and has a much shorter time to recover. There is no risk of scarring or discoloration on darker tones, and anesthetics are not necessary. The skin is pink following the procedure, and only remains this way for about twenty-four hours. It is recommended to use moisturizers during this period. Makeup and sunscreen can be used after this time.

Side effects are minimal. The procedure only involves the epidermal layer of the skin, providing a more comprehensive exfoliation. Sensitivity to light is common, so it is always advised to avoid direct sunlight for a couple of days. Some people may also experience tightness and light bruising in some spots. Skin peeling is also common.

For the best results desired, it will likely be necessary to undergo multiple sessions. In most cases, it is recommended to have six sessions spaced two weeks between sessions. It may be recommended for more or less sessions to occur depending on the severity of the skin condition and how well you respond to the procedure.

When you are looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin without relying on harmful injections or invasive treatments, this procedure can provide you with different options. The type of crystal used may vary, but you can contact multiple places to determine which ones are offered. Always check the experience levels of the staff members who perform this procedure.
