The epidermis is the top layer of skin that acts as a barrier between the elements of the outside world and the lower skin layers. When you apply lotions or creams to your skin, some of the moisture passes through the epidermis but not all of it. The epidermis is the layer of skin where imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and blemishes appear. Microdermabrasion eliminates the top layer of skin cells exposing the new, healthy skin cells that look and feel smoother beneath. A microdermabrasion facial enables new skin cells to grow at a faster rate while the vacuuming process stimulates blood flow and circulation. Microdermabrasion also promotes the production of collagen which is vital for retaining skin elasticity and improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Microdermabrasion removes the layer of skin that acts as a barrier enabling skin care products to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Microdermabrasion increases the effectiveness of skin care products as the lower layers of skin can absorb more moisture and active ingredients. It is extremely important to remember that as microdermabrasion removes the protective outermost layer of skin, the new skin underneath will be exposed to the damaging effects of the environment. It is essential that after a microdermabrasion facial that you take extra care to avoid UVA and UVB rays by applying an effective sunscreen to the treated area even when it is overcast.
