Over the past 25 years, microdermabrasion has become one of the most popular treatments to help keep skin looking young and beautiful. Unlike other skin treatments, which typically require the use of chemicals and needles to numb the skin, microdermabrasion is chemical-free and completely non-invasive. Instead, microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to exfoliate the skin in a process that many people find relaxing and soothing. So what, exactly, are the benefits of microdermabrasion?
#1: Improved circulation
The one benefit of microdermabrasion that you will be able to experience almost immediately is improved blood and lymphatic circulation. This enhanced blood flow serves a very important purpose – it delivers oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your face and body. Even though microdermabrasion targets the skin surface during exfoliation, the gentle pressure acts deep under the skin to improve blood flow.
#2: Glowing, rejuvenated skin
During the microdermabrasion process, dead skin cells are gently removed from the skin. This helps to unlock the true potential of your skin and reveal younger, healthy skin below. In terms of appearance, many people experience this in the form of glowing, rejuvenated skin. Best of all, microdermabrasion does not result in any color or pigmentation change. In developing a regimen of microdermabrasion, Essex clinicians will take particular care to preserve your skin’s natural texture and color.
#3: Unclogged pores
One common cause of oily skin or other complexion problems results from the clogging of the skin’s natural pores. Microdermabrasion, though, helps to unclog these pores, enabling your body to continue with its own natural skin maintenance program. With regular treatment, microdermabrasion can actually help to reduce the size of these pores, thereby leading to better overall skin texture.
#4: Removal of fine lines and age spots
During the aging process, the skin on your face will tend to accumulate fine lines, especially in areas where the skin layer is very thin. If left untreated, these will eventually develop into wrinkles. Thus, many people use microdermabrasion as part of an overall regimen of tightening the skin and helping to clear away these fine lines. The same is true for age spots. A regular regimen of microdermabrasion may not be able to remove these age spots entirely – but can help to dramatically lessen their overall size and color. If you are looking for the perfect facial, Essex microdermabrasion clinicians can help make your face look younger and healthier.
#5: Clearing up of complexion problems
Many people typically think of acne and skin complexion issues as a result of hormonal imbalances commonly encountered during adolescence or early adulthood. However, older adults can also experience bouts of acne, especially as the result of a diet that is not filled with the proper nutrients. Thus, microdermabrasion becomes a very easy, convenient way to help restore your skin’s natural complexion.

As you can see, there are many different benefits to microdermabrasion, all of which lead to younger, healthier skin. Since side effects are quite rare – usually limited to just a mild sensation of skin tightness immediately after the procedure – microdermabrasion in Essex can become part of a monthly skin care regimen that keeps you looking young and beautiful.
