Microdermabrasion is a common cosmetic procedure in which the skin is scrub or abraded with finely ground mineral crystals to exfoliate the skin. It is commonly done in a doctor’s office or spa center. However, you can get the benefits of this procedure in the comfort of your own home with microdermabrasion cream and/or microdermabrasion kits.
First, we will take a look at the history of microdermabrasion. Then we will move on to how you can attain its benefits with having to go to the doctor’s office.
Before Microdermabrasion
The concept of abrading the skin is not recent. Reports have been stated that Egyptian doctors used paper similar to sandpaper to smooth out scars as far back as 1500 BC. More recently in the 1900’s in Germany, a device with wheels and rasps was used to exfoliate the skin.
Some 50 years, a motorized machine with wire brushes replaced the hand powered devices. Dermabrasion was born. This procedure became common for treating skin blemishes, scars, acne scars and aging skin. However, its popularity could not disguise the problems that dermabrasion caused. For example, the procedure was painful and required anesthesia, it required weeks of downtime to heal the epidermis and, worst of all, it often led to scarring.
In 1985 the first microdermabrasion machine was created in response to the side effects caused by dermabrasion. Since then, the market for microdermabrasion machines has increases exponentially. For the most part, these machines are used by doctor’s and cosmeticians in health or day spas.
Home Microdermabrasion Kits and Microdermabrasion Creams
Due to the popularity of microdermabrasion, now there are microdermabrasion kits that are available to the public in general. There is a wide offer of kits and creams that you can purchase for an affordable price and in the comfort of your own home.
There are two kinds of microdermabrasion kits. The first type of kit is the one that comes with a wand similar to the one used by professionals. This types of kits usually include a includes special attachments, a special scrub or gel and a microdermabrasion guide, a special gel for scrubbing and different attachments.
The second type is a cream that can be applied with your fingers or a washcloth. Our microdermabrasion cream combines the most complete skin regenerating serum with the same abrading micro-crystals used with professional machines. The special serum is derived from the Helix aspersa (common garden snail) and is known for protecting, renewing, repairing and deeply moisturizing the skin.
Price is the differentiating factor between these two kinds of kits. The cream kits are more affordable than those that come with wands. However, both of these types are a good way to rid your skin of imperfections.
