On the whole, our skin contributes approximately 8 pounds to our body weight, and if spread out can cover an area of about 22 square feet! It is also the most popular organ and the one that is most often taken care of by people.

Understanding Microdermabrasion

You may be wondering what microdermabrasion is. Very simply put, it is a method to remove dead skin cells from the outermost layer of the skin. It is a technique that exfoliates the skin, using a mechanical device that also uses a suction mechanism to remove dead skin cells from the upper layer of your skin. It can be used on any skin surface.

Initially, this technique was used specifically for acne scar removal, pox mark removal and shallow scars of injuries. With advancements in medical science and technology, doctors realized that this technique can be used to treat other skin problems as well, such as age spots, fine wrinkles, tattoo scars and skin lesions. For a non invasive skin treatment, microdermabrasion has the potential to make the skin look beautiful like no other technique can!

Women go to salons and spend thousands of dollars on skin and acne treatments that do not have a long lasting effect. They get expensive facials, and other so-called beauty treatments that are questionable and show no long term benefits.

At our Bakersfield Medical Center we advise our clients that Microdermabrasion is like getting your skin exfoliated. In fact it is this exfoliation of the skin that lasts longer and makes the skin look beautiful, young and perfect! Here is how it works:

– Unlike dermabrasion, where an anesthetic is needed to numb the skin, microdermabrasion is performed without the need for anesthesia.
– Minute crystals are sprayed on to the skin, which work in an abrasive manner and remove the dead outer skin layer.
– Since it is non invasive, there is no bleeding and a very low level of soreness afterwards.

The techniques makes for what most clients call a “pleasant experience,” since there is no bleeding or discomfort involved. However, most doctors advise their patients to avoid exposure to dirt, dust and sun. The use of a sunscreen containing high SPF levels is also advised.
