Microdermabrasion is a relatively simple cosmetic procedure that removes a fine layer of dry skin cells from the face, revealing a healthier and younger looking skin. Microdermabrasion is very effective for treating fine lines, light acne scars, clogged pores, minor sun damage or uneven pigmentation. This procedure removes the unhealthy cells and brings your healthy skin to the surface.
This procedure is fine for any healthy adult that is interested in skin rejuvenation. Microdermabrasion is non-invasive and is often referred to as a “lunch break procedure” because it is completed quite quickly.
Treat Rosacea with Microdermabrasion
Many dermatologists also recommend this procedure as an effective way to treat Rosacea. Rosacea is very similar to acne, but there is increased redness and swelling associated with this skin disorder. This treatment has been shown to significantly reduce the redness and swelling associated with Rosacea.
This procedure is not recommended for:
- pregnant women
- people with an acne outbreak
- severe acne scarring or someone who has diabetes that is not under control
- It is also advised that people with an autoimmune disorder consult a doctor prior to having this procedure
This is a very simple procedure that does not require any extended time off for recovery. In most cases, the light pink color to the skin is faded within a few hours after treatment. This cosmetic dermatology procedure is so easy on the skin that many people simply put cover-up on soon after the treatment to hide the pink. It is very rare for people to feel any real discomfort from this procedure.
