Once in a while, your complexion can go a little under the weather, losing its radiance. How do you bring back lustre to your skin?
Well, exfoliation is one of the easiest and cheapest skin correctors as it accelerates cellular renewal to reveal healthier, smoother and more radiant skin.
Microdermabrasion, a more intense physical exfoliation is a quick and effective treatment for uneven and lacklustre complexion.

What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a minimally abrasive instrument to remove the thicker, uneven outer layer. Thus, improving skin tone and texture as well as promoting cell regeneration.
This is such an important treatment as it is a sort of a foundation for other skincare products. It allows easy penetration of your other skincare products, rather than them just getting stuck on dead cell layers. This leads to you getting the best from your other skincare products.

What Are the Different Types of Microdermabrasion?
There are three basic types of microdermabrasion, which are:

1. Crystal: This implements fine crystals sprayed on the skin which rubs off the dead skin cells and the outer layer. The system consists of an in-built suction that removes the skin and used crystals immediately.


2. Diamond-tip: This involves the use of a specially designed tool tipped with a laser-cut diamond. The system simultaneously sloughs off dead cells whilst suctioning them away from the skin.


3. Hydra Dermabrasion: This method makes use of water and oxygen to exfoliate the skin. These techniques are all equally effective. A talk with your esthetician or dermatologist would be the wisest choice in deciding which is right for your skin type and the objectives you hope to achieve.
