Microdermabrasion Done At Home

Microdermabrasion is one of the best skin resurfacing treatments and no wonder it’s the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment. It is more than skin exfoliation, but it is gentler that chemical peel for example. Unlike dermabrasion, it doesn’t use hard diamond fraise and doesn’t leave the skin open and red for a few days afterwards. It involves small, micronised aluminum oxide crystals.

If it is performed by a professional, micro-crystals are air-blasted onto the skin with a vacuum pump to shift dead skin cells and blocked pores so the skin is left fresher and smoother. After the procedure the skin look brighter, feels clean and soft, fine lines and wrinkles seem less pronounced, pores are refined, pigmentation is faded.

Fortunately, nowadays you can perform microdermabrasion at home for less than $50 and it won’t take a long time. Nowadays there are different kits on the market that usually include micro-crystal cream (with aluminum oxide crystals), lotions, post-microdermabrasion moisturizer, exfoliating wand, foam applicators or exfoliating cloth. These kits are inexpensive – they usually cost less than $30/ $40. When you do this at home you remove the dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin by deep exfoliation. If you perform once a week you will see the results – you will improve the condition of your skin, eliminate the appearance of dark spots, discolorations, you will improve the overall appearance of your skin.
