Skin Microdermabrasion

Skin microdermabrasion salon and home treatments are a really popular way to help delay the signs of ageing and also to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone.

Below is more information which I have had to research from wikipedia as I really don't know how it all came about. This is to just give you more information.

History of Microdermabrasion.

The first skin microdermabrasion unit was developed in Italy in 1985, using small inert aluminium oxide crystals to abrade the skin.

In 1986, other European markets had introduced the technology, which was immediately adopted by physicians for mechanical exfoliation.

There were 10 microdermabrasion units on the market in Europe by the end 0f 1992. In 1996, Mattioli Engineering partnered with one of the Italian designed machines and started working towards meeting FDA requirements for the USA.

By the end of 1996, the FDA issued the first approval letter for microdermabrasion machines. In January 1997, the first skin microdermabrasion machine was being sold and marketed in the US. The diamond tip was introduced in 1999 and the bristle tip was introduced in 2005.

The system has evolved from rocks, stones and shells to crystals, particle-free diamond tips and particle-free bristle tips.

The popular, preferred method of mechanical exfoliation is crystal free microdermabrasion. Once the desired amount of exfoliation has been reached, some units will then infuse a skin specific solution into the skin.

By infusing the solution, it will penetrate deeper than if applied manually for two reasons. The first is because the dead skin has been removed, so product penetration increases.

The second is because the vacuum pressure works in reverse to push it in deeper. Results are significantly greater from skin microdermabrasion treatments combined with an infusion technique.

I have had the skin microdermabreasion done as I said and it was really good my skin was baby soft, I have to say I was skeptical but the beauty therapist showed me differently.

Now the machine she had was the Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion System. A really good machine and company. Below though we are going to explore more benefits and how doing this at home is just as good.
