Facial beauty treatments at professional salons have been around for a very long time. New treatments are being introduced all the time, and the microdermabrasion facials are highly popular because of their exfoliation properties. The treatment is especially recommended for women who suffer from acne or are beginning to show fine lines and wrinkles.
There is a huge amount of literature available on the crystal free microdermabrasion and also the aluminum oxide microdermabrasion.
The new microdermabrasion therapy facial are available either at a trained dermatologist’s office or a beauty spa. The treatment, depending on the condition of your skin can last anything from 30-45 minutes. They are worth trying out of you are developing any of the following things on the surface of your skin:
Brown Spots
Minor scarring from acne
Differing pigmentation on the skin
Damage from excessive sun bathing
Wrinkles and fine line due to pre-mature ageing
Many women may feel that such a facial will cure all of the above. But it is not a complete treatment as some of us have found out. This new type of treatment does not entail any of the hydration and cleansing routine that your face requires. Many spas and skin care clinics can use this instead of the regular exfoliation processes.
Should you be on Accutane then microdermabrasion is not advisable for a few months, as it may interact and cause problems. Anyone who has had really bad acne needs to avoid it as well as it can lead to more scarring on the face.
There are ways of having a microdermabrasion facial at home, as there are many reputable companies offering packages for this. Companies like Olay, Neutrogena have produced some microdermabrasion kits for use at home.
Once again be sure to check with the spa or skin clinic is offering a complete facial or only the exfoliation side of it. Just offering the basic facial may save you some money in the long run.
