Learning About What Microdermabrasion Crystals Are Used For

By Gwen Lowe


Microdermabrasion crystals are tiny pieces of material that are blasted onto the skin to remove built up layers of dead skin cells. Our skin naturally replaces dead skin cells with new ones, but as we get older this process slows down and the dead skin cells cannot be completely removed. This build up can lead to clogged pores, a dull appearance of the skin, and more noticeable wrinkles.

At the salon or dermatologist, the process begins with a vacuuming of the skin to help stimulate blood flow and draining of the lymph nodes. This stimulation is designed to help the skin make new cells in a quicker period of time. After this initial vacuuming, the blasting begins.

Microdermabrasion is a less extensive version of dermabrasion. This procedure involves spraying the skin with a special type of crystal, called blasting. It is designed to remove the dead skin cells that have built up on the skin. After the skin is blasted, the cells and crystals are vacuumed away. Some machines are able to blast and vacuum simultaneously. Following the procedure session, the skin appears younger and feels much smoother.

Based on what the individual location provides, you may be able to choose the type of crystal that is used. Commonly used and chosen ones are made from aluminum oxide or a baking soda blend. You can also choose one made of salt. Diamond tipped varieties are also a possibility.

This procedure is ideal for skin that is dull, has uneven tone, or appears tired. Unlike dermabrasion, this version is non-invasive and has a much shorter time to recover. There is no risk of scarring or discoloration on darker tones, and anesthetics are not necessary. The skin is pink following the procedure, and only remains this way for about twenty-four hours. It is recommended to use moisturizers during this period. Makeup and sunscreen can be used after this time.

Side effects are minimal. The procedure only involves the epidermal layer of the skin, providing a more comprehensive exfoliation. Sensitivity to light is common, so it is always advised to avoid direct sunlight for a couple of days. Some people may also experience tightness and light bruising in some spots. Skin peeling is also common.

Multiple sessions are often required to achieve the best results. Generally, six sessions about two weeks apart is recommended. This will usually depend on the severity of the issue and the results you want to achieve. More sessions are recommended when cases are more severe, while less sessions will be necessary for light cases of build up.

When you are looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin without relying on harmful injections or invasive treatments, this procedure can provide you with different options. The type of crystal used may vary, but you can contact multiple places to determine which ones are offered. Always check the experience levels of the staff members who perform this procedure.
