The procedure that is known as the dermabrasion is considered to be the most effective means of fighting the natural signs of aging as well as remedying the scars of the past at the same time. This is a very quick procedure that is performed under general anesthesia but lasts for only about 20 or 30 minutes. The dermabrasion procedure can repair years of sun damage as well as fine lines, stretch marks and scars. It is most commonly used on the face as a means of beautifying the skin of the face and returning the person’s youthfulness but it may also be performed anywhere on the body that needs it including the hips, waist, thighs, arms, shoulders, back and even the chest. About the only places where a microdermabrasion procedure cannot be performed is in regions where the skin is too thin or sensitive to irritation.
The best candidates for a microdermabrasion are those whom may have dull, leathery or oily skin and has a rough texture to it that needs to be made more refined and smoothed out. You are also a good candidate if your skin’s pores are too big whether from natural causes or even from pitting as a result of a traumatic acne breakout. The microdermabrasion procedure is even good and cleaning out clogged pores including existing black heads as well as fixing the fine lines around the face. Last but of course not the least is that the microdermabrasion procedure can remedy discolorations in the skin’s own natural pigment. By removing the old dead outer layer of the epidermis, the skin has a chance to rejuvenate itself naturally which also includes the pigment color of the skin. Most patients have reported that the microdermabrasion procedure not only smoothes and evens out the skin to the touch, but to the sight as well.
The microdermabrasion procedure is usually performed in a medical clinic or spa under the watchful eye of a licensed anesthesiologist who will also be the one in charge of your general anesthesia. While the procedure itself can be painful since the physician is literally sandblasting the old dead skin cells from your face, the general anesthesia help prevent the impact pain and the pain afterwards is nothing more than a discomfort. Make sure that you follow the physician’s suggestions and recommendations for the recovery period so that you can be assured of the best results possible. |
