Microdermabrasion Before And After Hints And Tips

The skin care industry is huge, worth millions of dollars annually. Each and every year the is an awe inspiring array of new skin care creams and lotions. To further add to the confusion (and the income) there are an ever increasing number of skin care treatments, often only available in professional aesthetic/cosmetic clinics or beauty salons and spas. Currently one of the most popular skin care treatments is called microdermabrasion, the popularity of which continues to grow at an incredible rate. This article examines some of the facts about before and after microdermabrasion that everyone should know.

One of the top most factors in ensuring that our skin continually appears vibrant, young and healthy is how well you choose to look after it. This may sound simple but there are a great many folk who choose to just clean off any old cosmetics and apply some fresh make-up but there is far, far more to be done if you want to remain looking young. If you are one of those people who have never really paid much attention to looking after their skin you will really need to start a regular skin care regime as soon as possible, if not immediately.

In their desperate search for the fountain of eternal youth scientists continually invent new and exciting types of skin care products for our use. Wild claims are made about the spectacular results gained by using their products regularly (but only their products). Annoying though these claims are, more often than not, simply false or are an exaggeration, if closely scrutinized it is usually uncovered that there is very little or even no, real, hard evidence to prove these claims. As more folk browse the Internet hoping to find a cheap skin care treatment or product capable of creating or sustaining youthful good looks, more and more of us get tricked by this style of advertising. Annoyingly even many microdermabrasion and skin care organizations/companies are guilty of this practice of exaggerating the effects and many skin care companies now use the word in a descriptive way when the truth is that the product contains a few crystals and bears no resemblance to the treatment other than this. I have never really understood why such organizations exaggerate the effects of microderm because the results are more often amazing than not. However for some the results are not so great as much of the success depends upon the skin type and it's suitability for the treatment.

It is very important that you understand that beginning a regular skin care regime is just the very first step in the long journey to hitting the aims of vibrant, young and healthy looking skin. It is often the case that we need to go that little bit further to discover something that works for us. In years gone by this really meant some form of invasive cosmetic surgery but incredibly this is no longer true (as microdermabrasion is available).

microdermabrasion is the non-invasive cosmetic procedure that is famous for it's brilliant results. Annoyingly many of the Microderm web sites, in their attempts to persuade folk to use their treatments and services at their cosmetic clinic, spa or beauty salon, display images which are not really a true representation of the results gained there. Therefore, it is incredibly important that you make enquiries to find out the true degrees of their skills. One of the best and easiest ways to do this is to simply request examples of the results that previous clients experienced and also for any recommendations made by such. You could ask colleagues, family members and friends if they have knowledge of their reputation or have had microdermabrasion there. If it is true that they have a good reputation then it is highly probable that they are also good at micro-dermabrasion.

If you plan to have some micro-dermabrasion treatments there is a variety of facts which you should know of, especially relating to before or after microdermabrasion. Before your treatments start you will have a consultation with your aesthetic technician who will examine your skin and decide upon the best pretreatment. For sessions of micro-dermabrasion it is commonly the case that your consultant suggests that you should use some of their own products which should be included in your regular skin care regime.

After any microdermabrasion treatment you may look slightly reddish in your face but you should not become too worried as this is usual and it will soon fade. However you should avoid getting to too much sunlight after a session/treatment as, at this time, the skin is very sensitive and easily damaged by direct sunlight. This damage may not be visible to the naked eye but, over time, the effects will show if you continue to expose your skin to too much sun after treatments. In extreme cases this will, most probably lead to premature aging of the facial skin.
