Microdermasion: Does It Take Away Acne Pits

August 21, 2007


microdermasion-for-smooth-skinMicrodermasion, perhaps most commonly known as microdermabrasion, is a procedure that can help remove acne scars. The microdermasion process involves abrading or pealing off your skin’s stratum corneum. This is the superficial layer, and the process prevents any damage to any skin layers that are deeper. Microdermasion is effective in reversing facial defects due to overexposure to the sun, the aging process and mild scarring from acne. The procedure is very safe and totally painless, but there are some details you should be aware of before undergoing this procedure.

The Basic Microdermasion Process

During your microdermasion procedure your doctor will use a machine that sprays small crystals of various components on your face. It works like a vacuum to remove the abrasion by slowly running the crystals over your skin and taking away any irregular or dead parts of it. The residue of this removed skin and the microdermasion crystals are being sucked away at the same time, to keep your face clean.

What’s important to keep in mind, however, that this process will only remove mild acne scars. It will not remove deep pits.

Over-the-Counter Options

There are also some microdermasion two-step over the counter products that you can use to try to remove acne pits and scars. Though not as effective as an office procedure done by a medical technician or surgeon that specializes in the dermatological procedure, they do offer some good results at a very low cost. You can even buy the two microdermasion products at an online auction site for under $20 including shipping.

The first of the two steps of this over the counter acne treatment system is a cream that resurfaces your skin. It exfoliates it gently, to give it an immediate glow. The cream strengthens our skin and brightens it, so that you and those who see you will notice an improvement in your face’s texture and tone.  You’ll also experience a stronger skin barrier to bacteria that causes acne.

The second product hydrates your skin intensely. Using exfoliating crystals made up of alumina of medical grade, your skin is resurfaced and rejuvenated. You see the acne imperfections and your facial lines visibly reduced after just one treatment.

Final Thoughts

Again, what’s important here, whether you’re giving the over the counter products or try or going through the microdermasion surgical procedure is that microdermasion will not remove deep acne pits. It will, however, improve the look of your skin and remove mild acne scars.

Teen Acne

Acne is one of the great misfortunes of teenagers. It is a common, chronic skin disorder that is caused by the inflammation of oil-producing sebaceous glands. Acne usually occurs on the face, neck, back and chest and usually begins between the ages of ten and thirteen and then continues for five to ten years.

Teenagers, both men and women, obtain acne in equal numbers and there are numerous causes. It is worth noting that younger males are generally more prone to acute and long-term acne, while many younger women suffer from hormonal acne, due to the hormonal changes that are associated to their menstrual cycle. To some degree, acne causes personal anguish for most teenagers. It can definitely lower the person’s self esteem. So, if you (or a loved one) are currently feeling depressed and embarrassed because of unsightly acne, don’t despair. Several acne treatments for teenagers are out there.

Acne treatments for teens generally vary according to the method of application and their purpose. Most of these acne treatments have promised to help prevent acne formation, but some of them failed to fulfill such promise. Below are a few of the acne treatments typically used for teenage acne.

Over-the-Counter Products

A number of non-prescription acne treatments are now available in most local drug stores. The typical treatments of this form include various acne cleansers, astringents, moisturizers, as well as pimple creams. Some of them help to unplug the whiteheads and blackheads, while the others help skin shedding. It terms of the application of these acne treatments for teenagers, some experts typically suggest giving such over-the-counter products around six to eight weeks to work before expecting huge results. However, if there is no improvement in the condition during that time, there are some other options for treating teenage acne that should be considered.

Oral and Topical Antibiotics

Most of the oral and topical antibiotics are samples of “prescription only” treatments for acne. The topical antibiotics, in particular, are deemed effective acne treatments for teenagers since they can help fight acne by killing off the bacteria that infect the pores. On the other hand, oral antibiotics are acne treatments that affect the entire body, therefore they can cause serious and unfavorable side effects. Both of these forms of acne treatments for teens are now commonly recommended, even taking into account some of the side effects.

Vitamin A Derivatives

Vitamin A derivatives are great teen acne treatments since they prevent skin cells from clumping together and encourage the skin to shed. These acne treatments for teenagers are usually applied once a day, but just like some of the other acne treatments for teens mentioned earlier, they too have certain side effects such as dryness, redness, and irritation, even birth defects.
