Body Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion: Unleashing The Beauty From Within.

Before explaining the wonders of microdermabrasion, it’s important to understand the process of skin cell regeneration, or skin resurfacing. Exfoliation is a timeless beauty secret passed down from generation to generation. Just as a snake sheds its skin, so do we on a lesser scale. In fact, in a lifetime, you will lose and replace approximately forty (40) pounds of skin cells!

What Happens When We Don’t Exfoliate?

You may think, “Why should I exfoliate? After all, skin cells get replaced automatically, don’t they?” Well, yes, and no. Remember that as you get older, you shed dead skin cells more slowly, with consequences. As a result, if you do not exfoliate enough, you can experience increased acne or skin breakouts, dry, dull skin, more wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

What Happens When We Exfoliate Too Much?

Before you consider using a pumice stone on your face and body, please be advised that excessive exfoliation can have adverse effects.. If you don’t exfoliate properly, you could remove the protective layers of your skin, making it red, swollen, dry and overly sensitive. When you exfoliate too often, you prevent the natural skin resurfacing process from taking place.  Improper exfoliation or exfoliating too deeply can lead to skin scratching. In more severe cases, this can lead to scabbing and possibly scarring.
