Microdermabrasion Crystals And Their Use

By Gwen Lowe


There is a natural process that occurs for the skin to renew itself, but as we get older that process does not work as well. The dead skin cells keep building on the surface of the skin. This can cause your skin to appear dull, wrinkle to looks worse, and pores to get clogged. Microdermabrasion crystals are a way to fix these issues and help promote the growth of new skin cells.

The procedure is performed at a dermatology office or at a spa with a specialist, called an esthetician. Skin is vacuumed first to trigger lymph node draining and increased blood flow. The suction stimulates the skin to trigger the growth of new skin cells. Once the vacuuming is complete, the spraying is started.

In this process, a large amount of tiny crystals are sprayed onto the skin at a high speed. The crystal blasting removes the accumulated dead cells from the surface of the skin. As the skin is blasted, the crystals and dead skin cells are sucked up. When the whole treatment is complete, the skin feels smoother and appears more youthful.

Based on what the individual location provides, you may be able to choose the type of crystal that is used. Commonly used and chosen ones are made from aluminum oxide or a baking soda blend. You can also choose one made of salt. Diamond tipped varieties are also a possibility.

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.

In comparison to dermabrasion and other types of procedures, there are minimal side effects that can be experienced. The epidermis is the only layer that is affected by the procedure, which often causes light sensitivity. Direct sunlight should be avoid and sunscreen should be applied. A tight feeling of the skin and spots of bruising may occur. Many people experience a light peeling of the skin.

More than one session is usually necessary. The average is about six, but you may need more or less depending on the results you desire. Generally, sessions are spaced two weeks apart to allow time for the skin to recover properly.

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.
