Microdermabrasion: Renew your skin’s healthy, youthful radiance and texture without the risk
As time marches on, we may notice formerly vibrant and radiant skin no longer “glows” and has lost its luster. You can recover your skin’s confidence-boosting and healthy “shine” with microdermabrasion at The Nest Day Spa & Aesthetic Center in Russell, Kentucky.
The problem: A dull, tired complexion
New skin cells are born in the lower epidermis, where they travel to the surface and slough off. As we get older, this journey takes longer. Dead skin cells build up on the epidermis. This creates an unhealthy and lackluster complexion and a sandpaper-like texture. Such intrinsic aging happens to us all; the time when age shows up on our faces is written in our DNA.
We can influence what’s called “extrinsic” aging. Environmental and lifestyle factors can either cause premature signs of aging or delay these highly undesirable effects. Notably, protecting your skin from the effects of harmful UV radiation associated with the sun’s rays and artificial sources like tanning lamps is essential.
The solution: Professional resurfacing
You can find some solutions to awaken your tired skin at the drugstore in the form of OTC exfoliating products or good moisturizers. Retinoids may be prescribed; they directly aim to slow skin cell turnover by speeding up this process to make way for new, bright skin. Yet, some of the most effective treatments can’t be found in a bottle and require our professionals’ considerable expertise. These aesthetic services include microdermabrasion. We will review everything to expect before, during, and after your treatments. These considerations include preparation before each treatment session as well as after-care.
The actual process of microdermabrasion includes applying a special device to the skin to gently lift the old, damaged cells that have accumulated at the surface. It is generally comfortable. Most people say it feels like sandpaper or a rough texture being brushed against the skin. While it may “feel funny,” it is not painful. Also, microdermabrasion is quick and can be completed in around 20 to 40 minutes (depending on whether we are treating the neck or the “full face”). Because it is so gentle, preparation beforehand and care afterward is generally minimal. There is also no downtime associated with microdermabrasion since it is a conservative and low-risk procedure.
The ”trade-off” here is that many treatment sessions may be required to see results. The total number of treatments depends on factors such as the nature and severity of the concern we are treating.
