Microdermabrasion

There are many methods of facial exfoliation, one of the most popular is a process called microdermabrasion. It’s a much deeper level of exfoliation than you would be able to achieve with a loofah or scrub. This method of skin exfoliation has been used for years to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles brought on by aging or prolonged exposure to the sun.

Due to the many benefits of microdermabrasion it's fast becoming the treatment of choice when people are looking to solve their skin problems. Microdermabrasion is not painful and is a more cost-effective and less invasive procedure than plastic surgery, chemical peels, and Botox injections and requires no downtime. It's a very popular treatment as it suits any skin tone or complexion. It can be done at home, in spas, salons as well as in dermatological clinics.

Microdermabrasion treatment removes the dead tissue allowing the skin to grow back revitalised. It improves fine lines & wrinkles, skin tone, texture and reduces enlarged pores. The microdermabrasion treatments performed in a clinic or salon involve a jet of natural mineral crystals sprayed on the face and then it's all vacuumed back along with the dead skin cells.

Although dermabrasion has been available for quite some time, it’s only been fairly recently that home microdermabrasion kits have been on the market. In the economy today many women are looking for more affordable treatments that they can perform at home. With the creation of home microdermabrasion systems, anyone can enjoy the benefits of this skincare method without the cost of professional treatments or the hassle of scheduling an appointment. Many of the home kits are almost as powerful as the procedures practiced in salons and spas, and they also help to maintain the results from professional treatments.

How do I choose which at-home microdermabrasion kit to buy?

Of course, price is a factor in making your decision but there are other important considerations to determine as well. Be aware that results will vary for each home microdermabrasion kit.

The promises made are many, ranging from the fading of acne scars and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines to reducing redness while improving the tone of your skin.

DermaTx and Neutrogena are among the more prominent brands able to deliver on these promises. These systems come with cream and an application tool. There are home microdermabrasion creams out there that are sold without tools that claim to be effective, but they are not nearly as affective as tool-based microdermabrasion kits.

The thing to remember is that the most important piece of the system is the cream. Professional salons & clinics use aluminum oxide crystals in their treatments. So when looking to purchase a system, look for treatments that are made with those same ingredients. The individual crystals are important, as the peeling needed for proper microdermabrasion comes from the crystals. The harder the crystals, the better peel your skin will get.

DermaTx offers easy to use, at-home microdermabrasion systems for all skin types and concerns. The main reason behind its popularity is that its components and working principles bring it as close to professional microdermabrasion treatment as a home system can get. And the results show it.

The uniquely formulated creams are suitable for both men and women and each variant contains scientifically proven active ingredients to target specific skin types: 

Brighten (with SABIWHITE®) – Designed for uneven skin tone, sun-damaged and ageing skin.
Clarify (with 2% Salicylic acid) – Designed for acne, oily skin and enlarged pores.
Rejuvenate (with Antioxidants) – Designed for normal to sensitive skin.

There's no point investing time and money unless you're going to look after your complexion, so always apply sun protection daily even on cloudy days. As UVA rays travel through clouds and windows and they are there all the time, not just when it's sunny.
