Microdermabrasion is one of the more recent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood to the mainstream. It's regarded as an "instant facelift" -- an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels and Botox injections. How it Works: The topmost layer of the skin is called the stratum corneum. This layer acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. The idea is that if you remove or break up the stratum corneum, the body interprets that as a mild injury and rushes to replace the lost skin cells  with new and healthy ones. In the first hour after treatment, this causes mild edema (swelling) and erythema (redness). Depending on the individual, these side effects can last anywhere from an hour to two days. This process has many beneficial effects. With the stratum corneum gone, the skin's surface is improved. The healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. Lots of the skin's visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin. As microdermabrasion temporarily removes some moisture from the skin, it is always followed by the application of moisturizing creams. Studies have proven that repeated microdermabrasion treatment at regular intervals influences the way the lower layers of skin grow, removing deeper blemishes over time. Evidence indicates that the rapid loss of skin moisture may be what tricks the lower skin layers to work overtime in speeding healthy cells up to the surface.  Schedule a consultation today at Shea Essence to determine if microdermabrasion is right for you!
