Microdemabrasion Training in Arizona
Microdermabrasion treatments are a long favored and highly sought after skin care treatment from medical aestheticians. For those reasons alone, many aestheticians, cosmetologists, and even Registered Nurses are taking microdermabrasion training courses in Arizona to meet patient demand and increase their earnings potential. In this post, we will examine what is microdermabrasion, microdermabrasion devices, and the benefits of microdermabrasion treatment. Let’s get started!
What is Microdermabrasion?
The skin is made of two layers – a superficial epidermis (aka the surface) and a deeper dermis. The surface of the epidermis, also called the stratum corneum, consists of millions of dead cells with immature cells underneath them. Microdermabrasion removes the dead cells to expose the layer of the stratum corneum consisting of cells that are immature and actively growing. This revealing of the lower level of active skin provides the look of rejuvenated skin!
Microdermabrasion is most often utilized on patients who have acne prone skin, wrinkles, blackheads, oily skin, and skin that has been damaged by too much sunlight.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular medical aesthetic treatments on the market…and for good reason. Besides treating the list of ailments previously mentioned, one great advantage of microdermabrasion is that once the dead skin cells and debris are removed from the epidermis, moisturizers are then able to penetrate further into the layers of the skin. This results in the moisturizer being more effective, which further helps rejuvenate the skin.
Those with clog pores benefit from microdermabrasion as well. This treatment can help clear out clogged pores, which will ultimately help prevent blackheads and whiteheads from appearing as often after the treatment.
Microdermabrasion has also been known to help increase the production of collagen in the skin. Again, this production of collagen helps with the appearance of a rejuvenated skin.
Microdermabrasion is perfect for all skin colors and pigmentations. This process is non-invasive and requires minimal to no recovery time.
How is Microdermabrasion Performed?
Microdermabrasion is performed using a special tool that has on its surface micro-crystals and a vacuum mechanism. The procedure does not require any special anesthetic and rarely causes patients any discomfort during the treatment. The device is run over the skin over a period of time (sometimes up to an hour), and it gently removes the dead skin cells by bombarding it with the micro-crystals while sucking them up simultaneously through the vacuum system.
By exposing a healthy layer of cells, the process of microdermabrasion stimulates the active growth of skin cells. In addition, there is a rush of blood to the surface of the skin, which increases the amount of nutrients that reach it. This stimulates healthy skin growth.
Results and Follow-Up Treatments
The results of the microdermabrasion treatment will be noticeable immediately, but to gain the maximum benefit from the process, the patient should return every 3 or 4 weeks. Depending on the patient’s skin condition, they can receive anywhere between 5 and 12 treatments in order to see the most rejuvenation as possible. After this, the patient can return to the clinic periodically in order to maintain the benefits of microdermabrasion.
