How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Once the old cells are scraped out and new cells grow on the epidermis of the skin, resulting in the replacement of the old scarred or pigmented skin with clear skin.

 

The equipment used for microdermabrasion usually consists of two concentric cylindrical tubes. The point of contact of the tube with the skin has a vacuum action. The doctor or dermatologist places the tube in the affected area of the skin that needs to be treated. The vacuum action of the tube pulls the skin closer.

Abrasive crystals like Aluminium oxide; Sodium Chloride, etc are shot from the inner tube to the skin area that is to be treated. The crystals remove the top layer of the skin containing unwanted scars and debris and dispose of it out through the outer concentric tube.

 

It can cause a mild pricking sensation while the crystals are shot at the skin, but it is only a temporary sensation.

 

At times, the abrasive action and the removal of the skin can lead to inflammation or swelling in the skin. Every treatment takes some time for a completely effective solution but there is no need for you to worry, our Guam Family Doctors also provide some basic tips to reduce skin inflammation or swelling. It can last a few hours to days depending on the individual skin type. It is effective for mild scars; however, deep scars can be removed by treatment over a period of time.
