Microdermabrasion Benefits: Get Radiant, Velvety Skin On Your Lunch Hour

When it comes to microdermabrasion benefits, one thing stands out. Results.

Let's face it, with all the cosmetic procedures available on the market today, there aren't a whole lot that can give you the results that microdermabrasion can with no down time and no discomfort.

These days the procedure is very popular and you can have it done either in a doctor's office or by a licensed esthetician in a spa. The way it works is simple. A microdermabrasion machine using micro-fine crystals gently polishes away the dead surface layer of your skin, this triggers new skin cells to produce. The result is brand new baby skin cells coming to the surface that are soft and supple. Say good-bye to crows feet and fine lines.

Medical microdermabrasion equipment used by a qualified professional will give you fabulous results because of the strength of the machine. (There are at home microdermabrasion kits available that work wonderfully well. They're just not as powerful as the professional machines.) The great thing about microdermabrasion is it's not limited to just removing fine lines from your face.

Folks use microdermabrasion for stretch marks. Although, it can leave a little bit of stinging and redness at first. It also smoothes the skin on your neck, chest and hands reducing that "crepey" skin look.

As for pricing, most microdermabrasion prices can range anywhere from $50 to $200 per session. Always keep in mind that it may take a few sessions to see the maximum benefit. The results however, make it all worthwhile.

Will microdermabrasion therapy reduce the appearance of acne scars? The answer to that is, yes. While it depends on the severity of the scars, microdermabrasion for acne scars is probably one of the best methods to reduce the appearance of acne scarring.

It's not recommended however, for folks currently experiencing active acne. In those cases, microdermabrasion may cause irritation. Talk to your doctor for alternative treatments.

Often the question gets asked, "Don't chemical peel and microdermabrasion do the same thing?" Well, yes and no. Both remove the surface layer of skin, but a chemical peel does it by actually using an acid to burn the first layer of skin. As that layer peels away, what results is a fresh layer of new skin underneath.

A chemical peel should only be used by a licensed professional. Also, with a chemical peel, (depending on the kind it is)you may want to do it right before the weekend or when you have a few days off. I once had a fairly intense chemical peel done when I was due to go back to work the next day. Big mistake.

Let me ask you something, did you ever put white glue on the back of your hand when you were a kid and when it was tight and dry, peel it off? That's kind of what my face was like after the chemical peel. Skin peeling in rather large, glue-like sheets. I should have taken a few days off. The good news is that after the peeling was done, my skin was beautiful.

That white glue stuff won't happen with microdermabrasion since it only polishes away the dry, dead surface cells of your skin. You may be a little pink for a few hours, but nothing a little make-up can't cover.

There are so many microdermabrasion benefits for those of you wanting a softer complexion without resorting to surgery, peels or needles. For you, beautiful skin could just be a lunch hour appointment away. Enjoy!
