What is microderm abrasion what does it do and how is it done?

Answer 1

Microderm abrasion uses a sanding technique to blast away layers of skin using teeny tiny particles of sand. It is suppose the rid the skin of old dead cells and improve it in appearance.

I just pulled this from a web site

How Does It Work?
Microdermabrasion uses Corundum crystals to aggressively exfoliate away the dull layer of dead skin, smooth and retexturize, leaving the skin soft and glowing.

A slight vacuum is also present to remove the exfoliated cells and Corundum from your skin surface.

Two effects on your skin:

Smooth, retexturized and gently buffed skin.
The skin perceives the Corundum particle exfoliation as an injury and your skin starts producing new fresh cells more rapidly. It is an exciting way to awaken Nature's rejuvenation within your skin.

What To Expect.
You will first have your skin cleansed and toned
The microdermabrasion session will last approximately 30 minutes for a full face treatment. It is wise to consider doing the neck area as well for people concerned with aging. Other typical areas to perform microdermabrasion on include the decollete (for women wanting a smooth cleavage), and the hands, which frequently show signs of aging. Note : Microdermabrasion can be done on almost any part of the body.
After the procedure, you will have a cool towel wrap applied to the area treated. This will assist your skin in recovery.
A Copper Peptide Lotion will be applied to help stimulate collagen production.
Finally, a sunscreen will be applied to help preserve the results and prevent severe sunburn.
Follow up home care instructions for your skin type will be reviewed. A microderm kit will be offered to you for your maintenance home care. Listen carefully to the esthetician's instructions for home care to avoid skin irritation following the procedure.

They use a small tool that looks like an eraser at the top but is very coarse like sandpaper and they sand the top layer of your skin. It can be very harsh for your skin and the treatments can be very expensive. I have a product that is very safe for your skin and very inexpensive and you will get much better results. Take a look at my website www.intrinsicbeauty.myarbonne.com and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me. The product is Thermal Fusion Masque. I suffered from acne most of my life, until I found these products which are pure, safe and beneficial and my skin has changed dramatically. I have some before and after photos if you would like me to e-mail them to you. God Bless and have a wonderful day.

It is very fine particles (i think like sand or sugar) that gets blasted on ur face by an air brush and that helps blast away all the dead skin cells. I really like getting that done about once a month, it leaves my skin glowing and super soft.
