Microdermabrasion, or
lunch-time peel is a non-invasive cosmetic
procedure that uses micro-crystals to abrade and
rub off the top skin layer.
Microdermabrasion causes a diminutive
quantity of distress to the skin, forcing the skin to refurbish
itself. This procedure is most commonly performed on the hands,
face, and chest area. Microdermabrasion is also known as
Power Peel, Crystal peel or Parisian
Peel.
Our skin is compromised of three layers, the
epidermis, dermis, and the
subcutaneous layer. It is the top layer, the
epidermis, that is basically dead skin cells. These cells are
eliminated through microdermabrasion which promotes total skin
rejuvenation. With such treatment, our new skin cells are
allowed to grow at a much faster rate. Besides, the vacuuming
effect helps in stimulation of blood
circulation and production of
collagen which improve the skin elasticity.
A microdermabrasion
machine that forces a powerful spray of aluminum
oxide crystals are used to loosen the dead cells on the first
layer of the skin. Next, the dead skin cells or skin debris are
being vacuumed up through another chamber of the hand-held
machine. As the tiny particles go whizzing by, they cause a
very fine sanding and polishing effect. The polishing effect
helps to remove the particles of dead skin which gives the skin
a smoother, softer and pink glow appearance.
