What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion treatments use a small hand-held device that removes the top layer of skin to gently soften your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer, and has many advantages. It usually requires a series of appointments with a specialist. This treatment can also help improve skin appearance including light acne scarring, discoloration, sun damage and stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, melasma, and other skin-related conditions. 

Microdermabrasion is a popular cosmetic procedure because it works on both the outer layer and the deep layer of the skin. Many people use microdermabrasion to reduce the visible effects of aging or to eliminate scars left by acne. The procedure is non-invasive unlike dermabrasion, but it can cause side effects. Fortunately, there are no needles or anesthetics required for microdermabrasion.

Aging skin often leads to uneven coloring and unwanted lines in the face. This might happen due to environmental factors like polluted air or direct contact with sunlight. You may see redness in some areas of your skin. These problems can be handled with the right treatment. When dead skin is removed and new skin comes through, your skin will become smooth and can create the youthful glow that you want.

Microdermabrasion vs. dermabrasion:

Microdermabrasion is less invasive than dermabrasion. On the contrary, dermabrasion uses more intense methods to remove the top layer of skin. A dermatologist may recommend dermabrasion for acne scars, scars from accidents or surgery, or to remove tattoos. At Ermateb we provide you one of the best skin consultations with professional dermatologists. Microdermabrasion can be suitable for people with any skin color.

Things to consider before having a microdermabrasion treatment:

You can also ask to see before-and-after photos and to ask any number of questions that you have. After the procedure, use sun protection due to skin sensitivity. This will help to ensure the best results and reduce the risk of side effects. Microdermabrasion may not be suitable for people who scar easily. 

How much does it take to recover from microdermabrasion?

Most people do not need time to recover after microdermabrasion. Most of the side effects, tend to disappear after a short time. In a large proportion of people, the skin will recover enough for another microdermabrasion session over a week. 

How much does microdermabrasion cost?

According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of microdermabrasion is about $75 to 300$. Prices vary, depending on:

Here are microdermabrasion contraindications: (avoid microdermabrasion if you’re facing any difficulties mentioned below)

      2. You Have Rosacea
      3. You’re in a Cold Sore Breakout
      4. You Have a Rash, Wound, or Other Skin Irritation

Can microdermabrasion be done at home?

Many home microdermabrasion kits are available in stores or online. Spas and salons also offer the procedure. It is advised to speak to a dermatologist before undergoing the procedure inside your house with no proficiency. So that you’ll be assured that the person’s skin is suitable for microdermabrasion and that they are not likely to experience any difficulties. They will also tell the person how to deal with any side effects that may happen.

What are the different types of microdermabrasion?

Crystal microdermabrasion and diamond microdermabrasion. They both offer similar benefits, but the process between the two is somewhat different.

How Crystal Microdermabrasion Works:

Crystal microdermabrasion, sometimes called microcrystal dermabrasion, is the form of microdermabrasion that was originally proceeded in Europe for the first time. And it's still the most popular type of microdermabrasion. During a treatment, super-fine crystals are sent on the microdermabrasion machine, through a tube, and to glass. Via the wand, the crystals are sprayed over the skin. Used crystals are sent to a second container on the machine, and are dumped after every procedure, so they won’t be reused! Aluminum oxide crystals are typically used because they are nearly as hard as diamonds. Magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and even sodium chloride (salt) crystals are used as well.

How Diamond Microdermabrasion Works:

Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is a newer procedure but it’s easier and way more effective. It quickly gained popularity as a crystal-free microdermabrasion option. Instead of using crystals to peel off the outer layer of the skin, a stick with a diamond-encrusted tip covers the skin. The diamond tip vacuums the uneven parts of the skin with the same method.

Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is a bit cleaner And results show, it's a bit safer because there are no crystals to accidentally get into the eyes. But with a technician validated by Ermateb, this isn't an issue. Breathing in aluminum oxide crystals can be irritating, and can cause short-term breathing problems for very sensitive people.

Both forms of microdermabrasion are alike. The skin is deeply smoothened by the crystals or the diamond tip, so it feels softer and brighter immediately after treatment. Microdermabrasion triggers a wound response in the skin. As the skin repairs itself, it becomes thicker, smoother, more elastic, and looks healthier as a result.

Does Microdermabrasion Hurt?

The thought of having crystals blasted onto your skin, or a diamond-tipped wand dragged across your face seems horrifying, but it really isn't as bad as it sounds. Some people describe it as the feeling of a cat’s tongue licking. Others describe it as facial massage or report feeling just a minor ticklish feeling on the skin. No matter how it’s described, you shouldn’t worry. Because it works on just the surface layers of the skin, and it isn't painful.
