Everyone wants healthy and beautiful skin. However, age spots, dull complexions, Melasma, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone or texture, and enlarged pores take that desire away. However, if such issues are standing in your way to beautiful and smooth skin, Santa Clarita microdermabrasion specialists at Mind Body Infusion can help you. Your skin can be renewed into a brighter, smoother, and more evenly toned skin through the microdermabrasion procedure. Look at the following seven ways that microdermabrasion can rejuvenate your skin.

1. Smoothing of Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Sun damage, genetics, and aging can cause wrinkles and fine lines to develop on your skin. Over time, you can experience degeneration of collagen, making your skin lose elasticity and firmness.  However, with microdermabrasion treatments, your collagen production is stimulated, leading to the development of new collagens that contribute to the smoothing of the wrinkles and fine lines. As a result, the texture and appearance of your aging skin are improved.

2. Management of Acne

Sometimes your skin pores become clogged with sebum and dead skin cells, causing a breakout of acne. These are the whiteheads, blackheads, or other forms of inflammation acne resulting from bacteria proliferation within your pores. However, microdermabrasion treatments can effectively exfoliate the dead skin cells and decrease sebum production. This means that your pores will become less blocked, reversing the entire process of acne breakouts.

3. Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Sometimes your scattered patches of skin become darker compared to the surrounding parts of your skin. Generally, hyperpigmentation occurs as a result of acne, sun damage, or inflammation. Besides, several cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels and laser treatments can also trigger this condition, particularly if performed poorly. Fortunately, microdermabrasion can control this condition by reducing or slowing melanin production in the treatment area.

4. Management of Melasma

This is hyperpigmentation of its kind that appears as blotchy patches of darkened skin. Although this condition’s exact cause is unknown, many experts believe that hormonal changes and sun exposure exacerbate it. That is why most women are affected more than men, particularly during and after pregnancy. Microdermabrasion slows down the production of melanin in your skin, reducing the appearance of these blotchy patches.

5. Pores Shrinking

If you have enlarged pores, then microdermabrasion can help you shrink your pores. The large pores may result from photodamage, acne, and buildup of sebum, or cosmetic products. The enlarged pores can also become easily clogged, causing acne. Fortunately, microdermabrasion is effective in clearing the debris from the pores due to its exfoliating effects.

6. Managing Stretch Marks

If you have had a dramatic or sudden change in your weight, you may experience stretch marks, particularly after a pregnancy. These marks leave your skin unappealing. However, recent studies have found microdermabrasion treatments effective in managing stretch marks by reducing their appearances. These studies have also found the treatment procedure more effective than other options such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

7. Alternative for Other Procedures

Microdermabrasion’s ability to exfoliate your skin without affecting the deeper tissues boosts other cosmetic procedures’ efficacy. Therefore, if the procedures are used altogether, they become more effective in rejuvenating your skin.
