The importance of microdermabrasion

• November 15, 2020

Lately, we have been hearing a lot about microdermabrasion, and for good reason. This minimally invasive procedure is used to renew overall skin tone and texture, and it’s usually advised to get it done during the winter months when you can avoid the sun.

Why is microdermabrasion so important?
We know the importance of exfoliation in our skin regimen: It is a necessary step to keep our skin thoroughly clean and rejuvenated. That’s where microdermabrasion comes in.
This popular cosmetic treatment will gently exfoliate the skin’s surface layers, scrubbing away dirt and debris, to reveal a smooth fresh new layer. This can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring and other skin ailments.
Another advantage is that when skin becomes smooth and clean, it absorbs better the products that are applied to it and you will get more out of your at-home skin routine.

How is it usually done?
Microdermabrasion is a painless professional treatment using a combination of a fine abrasive tip with crystals, and a vacuum suction applied to the skin (no needles or anesthetics). A second method uses diamond instead of crystals, generally for the delicate areas around the eyes and lips.
The third and most recent method is a hydradermabrasion, which involves a gentle infusion of products without any crystals or diamond exfoliation. This process successfully stimulates collagen production and maximizes blood flow to your skin.
And guess what! Now you have the option to do it in the comfort of your own home, as recommended by Dr. Costi.
