Crystal Microdermabrasion: Is It Right For You?

Crystal microdermabrasion is one of the more recent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood in to the mainstream. It’s becoming known as an “instant facelift” and an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels and Botox injections. So what exactly is crystal microdermabrasion and what effect does crystal microdermabrasion actually have on your face?

Crystal microdermabrasion is quickly becoming one of the most popular alternatives to expensive surgical procedures for face lifts

Crystal microdermabrasion is a type of exfoliation that removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face through the use of a machine. The machine vacuums your skin to stimulate lymph node draining and increase the blood flow in the skin. Small crystals are then discharged to break up dead skin cells on the upper layer of the skin. The end result of crystal microdermabrasion leaves your skin with a fresher, younger, and more glowing look.

There are a few limitations and drawbacks to crystal microdermabrasion, but knowing about the side effects of crystal microdermabrasion will help you to be more careful when trying crystal microdermabrasion for yourself. Fit Gizmos has all the facts you need to know to help you decide whether or not crystal microdermabrasion is right for you.

Crystal Microdermabrasion for Crystal Clear Beauty

The skin’s natural process of getting rid of dead skin cells and then eventually restoring them with new cells takes a slow path as a person becomes older. This process of slowing down builds up dead skin cells which results in the following:

• Your skin appears dull.

• Pores get blocked.

• Wrinkles become more visible.

As I celebrated my 30th birthday, I was worried about these problems. As time flew, I started experiencing them, until I discovered crystal microdermabrasion. This is a treatment that eliminates excessive dead skin cells and dirt. Crystal microdermabrasion uses crystals to discharge the skin’s outer layer. It then sucks the dead cells out of your skin. This process gave my skin a smoother and younger look.

How Crystal Microdermabrasion Works

Crystal microdermabrasion gives you your desired look. When you go for professional service from a salon, crystal microdermabrasion is done through a machine which vacuums your skin. The suction stimulates lymph node draining, as well as increases the flow of blood in your skin. This increase in blood flow makes the skin restore itself quickly. The machine then discharges small crystals that break up the accumulated dead cells on the outer layer of the skin.

The process goes with the machine draining off the crystals while sucking the dead skin cells. The result is obvious – smooth and young looking skin.

The Wonderful Effects of Crystal Microdermabrasion

Crystal microdermabrasion gives you many other benefits, aside from its beautiful effect on the skin.

• Reduces wrinkles

• Evens out skin tone

• Diminishes acne scars as well as freckles

• Requires no recovery time

A lot of people undergo crystal microdermabrasion because, as compared to surgical procedures, crystal microdermabrasion is harmless and entails no risks. You also need not worry about allergies. Since the procedure only involves the outer surface of your skin, the tendency of allergic reactions is low.

Drawbacks of Crystal Microdermabrasion to Consider

Every good thing has a few limitations. Crystal microdermabrasion also has its downfalls. Though none of this happened to me, but I’m including them as a precautionary measure.

• Not advisable for young teens and pregnant women going through hormonal changes

• May cause respiratory problems

• May irritate eyes

• May bring light or dark spots on the skin

• Your skin may become too sensitive to face a bright day

• Your skin may peel off and may contain red flakes

Knowing about the side effects of microdermabrasion will help you take proper precautions, and so you can be more careful in trying out this treatment. It is always best to consult a skin care specialist to give you the best advice for your skin type.
A crystal microdermabrasion procedure typically lasts between 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on your skin type. When you’re finished with the crystal microdermabrasion treatment, your skin may feel a bit sensitive and will look a little pink, but you will notice the change in texture right away. Your face will feel much softer and younger after just one crystal microdermabrasion treatment.

Crystal microdermabrasion can get rid of fine lines, acne scars and skin discoloration as well as rejuvenate dull looking skin and diminish pore appearance. Crystal microdermabrasion is quickly becoming one of the most popular non-surgical treatments done, and the effects crystal microdermabrasion has on your skin are crystal clear the moment the treatment is over.
