What Is The Microdermabrasion Secret?

One of the best cosmetic procedures that has happened for women in a very long time is microdermabrasion. What exactly is microdermabrasion?  It is what it sounds like, the removal of the outer most layer of the skin by a light abrasion.  It is a procedure that was once primarily done in spas and salons but now can be done very safely and effectively and inexpensively at home.

Older women, especially, have fallen in love with microdermabrasion. The aging of the woman’s skin is first seen on her face and by having regular microdermabrasion treatments, the old dead skin cells are removed and her face feels soft and looks younger. Microdermabrasion is what is used to help the anti-aging process. It is what every woman over the age of 30 should be using to fight the onset of fine lines and wrinkles.

The Process

The discovery of what microdermabrasion is all about has been nothing short of gold for estheticians. They can now offer to women a treatment that will rid them of the older skin on their faces and help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. One of the methods that is used in spas is a mechanical abrasion wand that uses zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals to remove the skin cells. These particles can be vacuumed off through the wand.

The procedure is generally not painful and does not require any anesthetic. However, some clients have complained that the procedure is painful and their skin remains red for many days. This is not what microdermabrasion should do. This problem usually occurs because the technician is not very skilled or knowledgeable about the treatments. She is bearing down on the skin too hard and too long, therefore, irritating the new soft skin. The client usually never returns for another visit after one of these uncomfortable treatments.

The Home Microdermabrasion

There is only one company on the market who has developed a microdermabrasion treatment which can be performed easily and safely at home. Beauty Control has produced a kit with a small hand held microdermabrasion machine. It runs on batteries and has 3 soft brushes which attach to the machine. It comes with a jar of diamond fine crystals of zinc oxide that is used on the face with the brushes. The small device is then switched on and it softly and easily removes the dead skin cells from your face. You have total control as to how hard or soft you wish to use the brushes.

The procedure takes no more than 3 minutes, the total kit costs under $60.00 and lasts at least 1 year, and it is performed in the privacy of your bathroom. The results on your skin are astounding and beautiful. This microdermabrasion treatment is designed for the busy, working woman who wears many hats and does not have the time or money to visit a spa regularly for an anti-aging treatment. This microdermabrasion kit should be included with every woman’s skin care regimen.
