A Closer Look at Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a process that will help to remove the dead skin cells from your skin. This will help to increase healthy blood flow to the surface of your skin and promote the regrowth of new and healthy skin. Microdermabrasion uses the act of friction to remove the top layer of your skin. One of the most popular ways in which this is done is with the use of aluminum oxide crystals. These crystals will act as an abrasive and cause those dead skin cells to be removed from the surface of your skin. The crystals are applied to your skin with the use of a machine. This is a simple process that will yield wonderful results to your skin.
When you are looking for a clinic or spa to perform your Microdermabrasion you will want to make sure that they are a good place for you to have it done. The more that you know about the process, the better the chance that you will be able to spot a good place to have yours done. You should know that a good clinic or spa will make sure that they are using quality crystals. The first thing that you should make sure that you know is that these crystals come in different sizes. When crystals are being referred to by their size, the size is referred to as "grit". The grit is actually the measurement of each one of the grains, or crystals.
When it comes to the "grit" or the actual size of the crystals, the larger that the grit is referred to in size, the smaller that the grain actually is. The smaller that the grain is, the more smooth that your skin will actually look once the microdermabrasion has been performed. When you are having a consultation with the person that will be doing your treatment you can ask them all about the crystal and the grit size that they are planning to use during the treatment.
When you are trying to choose a clinic or spa to perform your treatment you will want to ask them and make sure that they are using a grit that is between 100 and 120. The truth is that a grit that is less than 100 will not be small enough to give you a smooth look, this will not be the results that you will want to see from your Microdermabrasion treatment because it will deliver too rough of a treatment. You will also want to make sure that a grit that is over 120 will simply be too small. While the smaller grit does give you a smoother look, you will still want to make sure that the crystal grains are still large enough to do the job of getting that top layer of skin and all of those dead skin cells off. If the grain is too small then it won't be able to properly penetrate the skin and cause the removal of that skin.
