Microdermabrasion and Acne Scars Part 2

What other skin disorders can be treated with Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is garbage. It cannot treat any skin disorder. It is not a treatment for aging, wrinkles, fine lines, or skin discoloration. Even if you have money to burn or throw away, Microdermabrasion is not worthy of that.

How does Microdermabrasion work?

There is a lot of hype made about Microdermabrasion, how it works, and what it can do. Providers of this treatment claim that the spinning actions of crystals can remove dead skin, oil, and debris in a very gentle manner. The facts are that that men & women have been using electric razors for decades and Microdermabrasion is not much different. Electric razors do not cure acne or acne scars; nor does Microdermabrasion. Anyone who believes that using an electric razor-like device can cure acne/acne scars is STUPID and deserves to be called a sucker.

Where is Microdermabrasion treatment done?

Microdermabrasion treatments are done all over the place. Doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians, Filipinos, manicurists, pedicurists, dentists and anyone else who love money is now offering Microdermabrasion treatment. Every spa or a salon has this treatment. It is simply a machine that looks like a vacuum cleaner. There is no magic about it; there are no injections, no anesthesia, no preparations, and it takes less than 20-minutes to perform. Of course, all these people have an accounting degree or an MBA in finance and are up to date on the latest methods of scamming consumers.

The procedure is often done during lunchtime not because it is fast, but because it does nothing and so you will have no side effects from it.

What is involved during the actual procedure?

Well, you will be treated well. Once your face is rinsed and dried the device is held next to your face and turned on. The feeling is similar to a vibrator used anywhere on the body. Just like a vibrator, Microdermabrasion makes a sound. There is no pain. The spinning action of crystals is limited to the very superficial layers of skin. When a vibrators is used on the body, it does not reverse aging or erase acne scars- similarly, all Microdermabrasion devices vibrate and do nothing. You could even substitute one device for another and still not tell the difference.
