Many people struggle with skin discolouration, severe acne, scars and wrinkles on their face. There are non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that can address virtually any issue from fine lines to deep wrinkles and dark spots to other visible signs of ageing. Most of the procedures only require about 30 to 60 minutes with little to no downtime for recovery.
What is microdermabrasion?
If you opt for the non-invasive route, microdermabrasion can be your best option. The treatment which is often referred to as mechanical exfoliation or micro resurfacing makes use of a mechanical medium for exfoliation with an adjustable suction that will sweep away the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the epidermis.
When the skin surface’s is exfoliated and suctioned, it will disrupt and cause cell division. When the cells of the skin divide, fibroblast activity will be stimulated and result to collagen production. Since human skin tends to discard slower due to advanced age, exfoliation will be required on several layers of the stratum corneum to leave the skin fresh and radiant. When dead skin cells are removed from the surface of the skin, it will improve the penetration of skin care products by 50%. Makeup will also go more smoothly.
Microdermabrasion is usually suggested by dermatologists to patients with superficial hyperpigmentation, photo damage, wrinkles, fine lines and shallow acne scars. However, there is another option to even out the texture of the skin – diamond peel.
How does microdermabrasion differ from diamond peel?
Standard microdermabrasion uses a device that looks like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny aluminium oxide crystals on the face to mix the gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead outer layers of the epidermis. Microdermabrasion differs from diamond peel because it sandblasts the skin with aluminium oxide crystals to sweep away the outermost layers of dead skin cells. On the other hand, diamond peel makes use of a diamond tipped wand to ensure better results with less downtime.
The diamond dermabrasion system replaces the micro crystal flow with a disposable or usable diamond tip wand that can reach areas closer to the eyes and mouth. It eliminates the risks of stray crystals being ingested or causing damages. Diamond dermabrasion systems have different tipped wands in various sizes and coarseness to suit individual skin types and depths of resurfacing. Many aesthetic clinics prefer the natural diamond tips because they are easier to control and do not irritate the skin or trigger adverse reactions.
Deeply pitted skin from old severe acne marks and darker pigmented areas may require several treatments over an extended period of time. While microdermabrasion is an effective solution for many skin problems, it is the not the best option for severely damaged skin. You can opt for the invasive route.
