Microdermabrasion was the craze in spas around the country a few years ago. It required expensive equipment and trained personnel. That changed when a smart businessperson put it
in a bottle. But can home microdermabrasion treatments be as good as the professional treatments?
What is
microdermabrasion?
It is an exfoliation treatment that uses crystals of many types to gently
- but deeper than than regular exfoliation - help the skin eliminate dead cells and promote cell regeneration and collagen creation. As a result, it helps to improve or eliminate appearance of dark spots, the pores look smaller and the skin looks healthier. It also helps to prevent pimples caused by pore obstruction. A series of treatment can help improve skin texture, scars, and melasma.
Microdermabrasion can be done at home or in a spa or doctor's office using a professional machine.
Home microdermabrasion versus professional treatments?
The home microdermabrasion system manufacturers claim that a few of the home treatments equal one professional treatment. In reality, the results, even with a series of home treatments are not as good as the professional treatments because the professional treatments use a combination of speed and high quality crystals.
The home treatments are better than the regular exfoliation treatments but do not offer the speed of
professional microdermabrasion. This results in lesser skin improvement, but there is improvement especially in the texture of the skin.
