The Micro Dermabrasion System: A Quick Overview

Through the years, various skin treatment systems have received mixed reviews from professional people. The micro dermabrasion system, however, has received much more positive feedback than most others, offering a solution based on solid scientific facts and reasoning. It has provided a sensible, predictable alternative to surgical procedures, while offering various benefits.

As more and more statistics become available, more and more solid proof can be offered regarding positive outcomes from people who used the treatment. Besides being used to reduce acne scars, it is also effective in removing wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes.

Under normal circumstances, your skin “breathes” through pores. Unfortunately, these become clogged from time to time, getting blocked up by dirt and oil trapped inside the skin. The body would naturally address this situation by exfoliation, a process of sloughing off the outer layer of skin at regular intervals in order to allow a new, blemish free layer of skin to take its place.

In the case of acne, this process is not happening quickly enough to curb the condition from spreading, and needs to be accelerated in order to keep the situation from getting out of hand. The micro dermabrasion system does just that, helping the body to get rid of the dead cells and debris trapped inside it, allowing the next layer of skin to surface.

The micro dermabrasion system employs a wand that is used to control an air-propelled stream of tiny crystals, which is applied to the skin surface. This abrasive action sloughs off the dead skin layer, removing with it unwanted bacteria, oil deposits, and discarded skin fragments. As a result the new layer of skin underneath is allowed to take its place, without the contamination of everything that was trapped inside the outer layer.

The fact that the outer layer is sloughed off prematurely, means that the emerging layer of skin did not have the opportunity to take the shape of the existing layer, or take on the shape of any imperfections in the outer layer. The new layer will thus have less acne scarring than the discarded layer – repeating the process will gradually diminish the scars.
