Is Microdermabrasion A Miracle Cure Acne?
Microdermabrasion acne treatment is a technique of smoothing the
skin and unclogging skin pores. The treatment is relatively new,
but its results are more than promising.
There is even more good news for acne sufferers!
Microdermabrasion is much less invasive than classical acne
surgery and it offers similar results.
How does it work?
It uses a mechanical device. The Microdermabrasion acne machine
is used first to clean the skin and peel out the dead cells'
layer. In doing that it clears out the blocked pores. The
machine works on the same principle as a vacuum cleaner. The
Microdermabrasion treatment is similar to rather gently
vacuuming your skin as opposed to the cutting action of invasive
surgery. The second phase of the process is spraying the skin
with an aluminum oxide. This spray eliminates the outer layer of
dead skin cells.
The Microdermabrasion treatment works in two ways:
1. It heals already existing acne by cleaning the pores; 2. Then
by eliminating the dead skin cells' layer, it prevents pimples
from appearing. Pimples are most often caused by dead skin cells
that clog the skin's pores. When you eliminate the dead skin
cells the chance of having pimples is greatly decreased.
Wait, there's even more. Microdermabrasion does not only cure
acne. A very pleasing side effect of repeating this treatment is
increased smoothness of skin by removing minor skin
irregularities.
How many treatments are necessary?
Usually even one Microdermabrasion treatment can give results
lasting several months. However, because Microdermabrasion
concentrates mostly on the effects, not the cause of acne, it is
not capable of a final cure of the disease.
You can expect that you will need to repeat the treatment after
six to seven months. Used with other treatments, even one "skin
vacuuming" can have almost permanent results.
Are there any precautions?
As Microdermabrasion is not a surgery and there's no anesthesia
required, there are few side effects. The one warning is that
the patient should not be using Ro-accutane.
Unfortunately this very effective treatment is usually not
covered by health insurance. The cost of Microdermabrasion
becomes an important factor when deciding on treatment.
