Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars & Skin Rejuvenation
Microdermabrasion and dermabrasion are two most frequently used skin rejuvenation methods especially for those adults whose ageing signs have just started to appear.
Both these procedures work on the principle of abrading the skin to facilitate collagen production and hence cure the concerns.
Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars & Skin Rejuvenation
The Working Principle
Done by means of a rotating wire brush, the process creates controlled wounds on the target areas.
The wound creation facilitates formation of new cells in the area.
The time for the wounds to heal takes anywhere between a few days to over a week.
Another form of Microdermabrasion called as Microdermabrasion Microparticles involves blowing abrasive microparticles over the affected surface to facilitate collagen boost. Usually no wounds get created in this process.

The peeling crystals are applied to the skin via vacuum suction through a plastic nozzle. It
feels like a scraping or gritty sensation. The skin becomes slightly pink or red during the
treatment depending on how sensitive one is to friction. This coloration however reduces considerably
within 15-30 mins leaving a glow or flushed appearance.
The best effects from a Microdermabrasion are seen 24 – 48 hrs post treatment.
