Microdermasion: Does It Take Away Acne Pits
August 21, 2007
Microdermasion, 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.
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 microdermasion will only remove mild acne scars. It will not remove deep pits.
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.
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.
