With age comes skin sagging. It’s inevitable, and unless you don’t have good genes or neglect your skin, chances are you will deal with crow’s feet, wrinkles and age spots. This is where microdermabrasion services come in. Not only are these services suitable for people with aged skin but also, they are ideal for individuals who have experienced acne and the scars that come with it, as well as a range of other skin conditions that might affect the skin’s appearance or a person’s confidence levels. Only over the last few years has microdermabrasion grown in popularity. Let’s learn the facts before you decide to visit a spa for these services.
What Happens During the Procedure?
A plastic surgeon or dermatologist will usually be the person who performs microdermabrasion. You don’t have to worry about the procedure hurting, because the surgeon or dermatologist will usually apply a numbing cream to reduce pain. In fact, you might even find microdermabrasion slightly pleasurable, because the small microcrystals will gently massage the skin and remove the skin cells that are concealed beneath. This will give you an instantly clearer complexion and will make the skin glow.
Are There Any After Effects?
When you consider the fact that the skin will be rubbed with tiny microcrystals, which could be described as tough grains of sand, you can expect the skin to feel somewhat irritated the day after, but not raw. In fact, the chances of irritation are low, but if it does happen, the recovery process will not be long at all. The surgeon or dermatologist will likely advise that you apply some kind of petroleum jelly to the affected areas. Bandages may also be wrapped around the skin for a few days post-treatment. This will prevent bacteria or germs from causing an infection and delaying the healing process, but the petroleum jelly or pharmaceutical cream will keep the skin clean and act as a barrier against germs.
Who is Qualified to Perform the Job?
Not just anyone can perform microdermabrasion services. These services should be completed by someone who has trained in the field of skin care and dermatology. Find out what type of experience the dermatologist has and request references to get a good idea of what they offer at the clinic. Meeting with the person who is going to use microdermabrasion to improve your skin’s complexion is also a great way to figure out how professional they are.
