Microdermabrasion: Redefining Skin Rejuvenation

Microdermabrasion: Redefining Skin Rejuvenation

Everything You Need to Know About Microdermabrasion

These days, there seems to be an infinite number of skin rejuvenation treatment options that claim to take years off your appearance. From skin resurfacing and chemical peels through to low level laser therapy and everything in between, there’s an ever increasing number of choices, each with their own benefits and side effects. But one particular treatment option that doesn’t get much coverage is Microdermabrasion. Melbourne laser treatment clinic Laser Skin Solutions provides valuable information on this little known treatment option, enabling you to make a clear and informed treatment decision.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-abrasive, chemical-free skin rejuvenation treatment that’s designed to clean, exfoliate and smooth the surface of the skin. The treatment incorporates micro massage with the application of tiny micro-crystals, or the use of a small handheld wand to remove dead skin cells as well as layers of dead or damaged skin. How does this happen? Skin cells travel through the numerous layers of skin from the epidermis to the dermis before reaching the surface layer, where it dies. In many cases, the dead skin cells will naturally shed and reveal the fresh skin underneath. However, some people will experience a build-up of these dead skin cells instead of shedding them. Reasons for the build-up can include the natural ageing process, a lack of thorough cleansing of the skin, climate changes (Melbourne’s inherently dry climate can have an effect on dead skin cell build-up), and particular skin conditions. This is where microdermabrasion becomes important as a means of effective skin resurfacing, helping to clear away dead skin cells and bring fresh skin to the fore.

What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

There are numerous benefits to undergoing the skin rejuvenation process of microdermabrasion. Melbourne’s Laser Skin Solutions offers the treatment as a means of:
