Microdermabrasion
Did you know that five home microdermabrasion treatments are generally compared to one professionally performed treatment?
That's quite a lot of home swirling but also an amazing savings over the professional treatments which typically cost around $100.00!
Just as a professional spa microdermabrasion treatment creates a glow, a home treatment produces similar results.
Albeit, that nice rosy glow that is induced by a microdermabrasion treatment is primarily from the vigorous scrubbing that your skin has just experienced.
The home microdermabrasion spa system can not only be fun but can provide a potentially effective exfoliating treatment as well.
So what are you waiting for? Start swirling those years away!
When incorporating microdermabrasion into your daily skin care routine, make the best of each home treatment.
Carefully choose products with active skin care ingredients that will best address your own specific skin concerns. This will optimize the effectiveness of any skin rejuvenation regime.
There are a few different models of home spa microdermabrasion devises. The first devise uses a sponge rotator attachment to spin microdermabrasion cream into the skin to exfoliate.
If choosing this type of microdermabrasion spa kit, pick one that either plugs in or has a charger like the DermaNew Microdermabrasion Spa Kit. or the Susan Lucci Youthful Essence microdermabrasion system.
They are a bit more reliable and powerful than the battery operated models. The Neutrogena Advanced Solutions At Home MicroDermabrasion System contains the same aluminum-oxide crystals as the spa treatments use.
Home microdermabrasion spa treatments are usually recommended to continue for the first five days, and then give the skin a respite period of a week or so before continuing treatments on a weekly basis thereafter.
The use of microdermabrasion spa treatments will keep the facial skin smooth and healthy looking.
The second home microdermabrasion model is replicated after professional microdermabrasion systems that utilize a mini-sand blasting technique to scour away the outermost layer of old skin cells. This system’s microdermabrader utilizes aluminum oxide disks to exfoliate the skin.
This devise is a much pricier gadget than most though it does more closely replicate a professional microdermabrasion treatment.
Of course, there is always the top of the line home microdermabrasion machine that mirrors a professional spa treatment. The Natural Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine is one of the best available.
Special Note:
Of all the spa gadgets, home microdermabrasion
is considered to be the most beneficial for rejuvenating aging skin.
So give one of these microdermabrasion home
spa devises a whirl.
Though you can always forego the electronics and use a simple, straight forward microdermabrasion scrub that is manually massaged gently over the face to achieve similar results.

Home microdermabrasion cream with corundum aluminum oxide microcrystals embedded in the most effective natural biological solution for skin regeneration. For application with your fingers.
Contains biological glycoconjugates packed with enzymes, co-enzymes, antioxidants, trace minerals, peptides and proteins that contribute to dissolve scar and damaged tissues deep within the skin, boost the proliferation of your body's antimicrobials, moderate inflammaging, trigger the reproduction of fibroblasts and thus activate the production of collagen, elastin and the water holding molecules to deeply moisturize the skin. 4oz - three month's treatment supply.
Includes a two month supply of Vitamin-Enriched Resurfacing Cream, an Electric Power Resurfacing Tool and Soft Sponge Applicator, Cleansing Facial Wash, Facial Mist & Toner and Daily Protection Moisturizer with SPF 15
Includes a Facial Rejuvenation Formula Microdermabrasion Cream, a dual-speed electric power resurfacing tool, 2 teardrop-shaped foam applicators, 1 soft-bristle brush.
The active ingredients in the micro dermabrasion cream from Dermanew are identical to those in Youthful Essence. Dermanew, however, has several new natural ingredients (green tea, carrot and grape seed extracts) which are good for soothing sensitive skin, especially after peeling.
The Dermanew resurfacing tool is more powerful than the Youthful Essence one and the foam applicators snap into place more securely (any waddling makes the tool lose energy). More power is not necessarily a good thing, though, unless the microderm abrasion tool is easier to control which is so due to the rubber grip handles. This tool also has a timer which lets you know when you should stop abrading.
Includes magnesium oxide crystals to polish away dead skin cells and reveal more radiant skin. Contains chamomile, aloe and hibiscus flower extract to help heal, sooth & moisturize the skin.
Includes a Derma-Crystals Microdermabrasion Cream (2.2 oz) and a Peel Activator Serum (2 fl oz.) .
The double peeling effect (from the bicarbonate crystals and lactic acid in the cream) should make a good peeling product but the Olay microdermabrasion system is nothing more than a good facial. The only real effect from using it may be a smoother and slightly brighter skin.

Retail outlets are successfully marketing home microdermabrasion products as low-cost alternatives to medical and spa products. It is part of a major shift toward giving consumers the power to treat themselves for a variety of conditions with over-the-counter products, some of which were formerly only available by prescription. Microdermabrasion is part of the trend for people to do more and more professional procedures at home for less money. However, there are so many new products in the market, with varying degrees of effectiveness, that consumers are confused. Not all home microdermabrasion products truly emulate in-office doctor visits, and some don't work at all, giving microdermabrasion a bad name. Office microdermabrasion is performed by a dermatologist or a licensed skin care specialist with extensive training. The high-priced machine they use varies the intensity of the aluminum oxide crystals being blown onto the skin to exfoliate it and enhance cell turnover, minimizing fine lines, wrinkles and evening out the skin tone. These treatments are to be performed every 3-4 weeks for the first 6-8 sessions, and then every 4-6 weeks. Most at-home microdermabrasion products, such as creams and application machines, are really just a fancier exfoliation method, not true microdermabrasion. Some microdermabrasion creams do contain aluminum oxide crystals like the microdermabrasion machine uses, but are not very effective at applying the crystals since they lubricate the skin. When using microdermabrasion creams, you cleanse your skin, apply the cream and massage in, rinse off and apply your moisturizer. Over time, you will notice some superficial improvement in the appearance of skin. The problem is that professional microdermabrasion relies on the friction, or the abrasion, of the crystals to remove a layer of dead, damaged skin cells, and creams, though easy to apply, actually reduce friction as well as reducing the effectiveness of the product. |
