How does it work?<\/p>\n<p>In a simplistic sense, microdermabrasion is the process of sanding your skin. A tool is used to blast the surface of the skin with tiny sand particles, removing the thicker and uneven outer layer of skin.<br \/>\nMicrodermabrasion is used in a variety of applications. Some of the more popular uses include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lessening the appearance of stretch marks<\/li>\n<li>Removing and\/or reducing the appearance of age spots<\/li>\n<li>Improve hyperpigmentation spots<\/li>\n<li>Reduce fine lines and smooth wrinkles<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate or reduce the number of large pores<\/li>\n<li>As an acne treatment, or appearance of acne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a lot of different reasons to use microdermabrasion, but the overall idea is to remove the outer layer of skin by blasting it away with sand. It\u2019s a procedure generally used to handle unwanted discoloration or roughness in the skin.<\/p>\n<p>A typical set of treatments involves a couple of treatments in the first month, followed by a monthly touch-up appointment for the short term. Eventually, appointments become unnecessary. Treatments cost a little more than $150 per appointment, on average.<\/p>\n<p>There are several noted health benefits to microdermabrasion. The procedure has the added benefit of also adding vitality to your complexion by helping to thicken collagen. It is a relatively inexpensive and low-risk procedure with great results and high success rates (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plasticsurgery.org\/cosmetic-procedures\/microdermabrasion#:~:text=What%20is%20microdermabrasion%3F,sun%20damage%20and%20stretch%20marks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/a>, 2022).<\/p>\n<p>The process of skin abrasion, or procedures like microdermabrasion, dates back in recorded human history to the ancient Egyptians, who used sandpaper to remove skin imperfections in 1,500 B.C. Some other innovations over the years lead to interesting tools people have used for this purpose. A German wheel and rasp device looked more like a torture device than medical treatment. The wire brush version became popular in the 1950s, and a mechanical version took off in popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years technology would improve enough to the point where it\u2019s become one of the most popular skin care treatments in the United States (Mackenzie 2018). The modern process of microdermabrasion is painless and the associated risks are minimal. Replenish and rejuvenate with a microdermabrasion appointment from Laura Skin Care in Petaluma, CA.
