Microdermabrasion Helpful for Skin Lines and Wrinkles? I am not looking as young as I looked some months back; I discussed about this problem with one of my friend. He advised me to go for microdermabrasion procedure. Thoughts about it?

A: Microdermabrasion for mild resurfacing

Microdermabrasion is a great first step toward skin rejuvenation. It is a procedure that combines the spray of fine aluminum crystals and a controlled vaccum suction to exfoliate and resurface the top layers of the skin.

Common indications include [but are not limited to]: blackheads and whiteheads, fine lines, sun damage/superficial age spots, and oily skin. As treatments are repeated [as frequently as] once weekly, for 5-9 sessions, younger and softer skin is able to move to the surface, bringing notable changes in pigmentation, tone, and texture.

This procedure may be done on its own, though I often recommend combining it with other cosmetic procedures, such as fillers, light-therapy, or chemical peels, for optimal rejuvenation. Additionally, the right products can enhance and maintain some results of your Microdermabrasion series.

Just exfoliating that top layer of skin makes my face feel smoother, refreshed and cleaner. It is a little drying though, but nothing a little facial moisturizer can't cure. On top of that,... more
	“I Like the New "Wet" Microderm -...” I have had micordermabrasion monthly for the past 5-6 years and absolutely love it! But I recently tried the new "Silk Peel" which is the same as wet microdermabrasion at the dermatologist's office. This is where they infuse either salisylic acid, lightening cream, or hydrating cream into the skin simultaneously while performing the microderm. The procedure only lasts a half hour... more
	“It Really Depends but Overall, Very Good” I first had microdermabrasion done at my dermatologist's office when I was 32 or 33 years old. The first time it did feel uncomfortable, and my face was red for the day. I think I did a series of 4 instead of 6, but the results were great for the year. It really depends on the type of machines they use and what types of salt or crystals are used on your face. I've also had... more
