Let’s face it; fresh-looking, flawless skin is something we all covet, but that ever-growing collection of night creams, serums, anti-aging masks and brightening foundation crowding the bathroom counter can only do some much. Rather than spend time and money on products that just don’t cut it, we’ve fallen for another, much more effective option – microdermabrasion. A celebrity skin-smoothing secret for years (A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Campbell and Michelle Williams are known to be fans), the secret is out and it’s not just the stars getting a mega-beauty boost from this complexion perfecting procedure. Microdermabrasion: The 411 Quick, easy and cost-effective, microdermabrasion is consistently in the top five most popular nonsurgical procedures – with good reason. “Microdermabrasion is a great way to exfoliate skin and remove the dead surface skin cells,” explains Dr. Brian Zelickson, Director of the Zel Skin and Laser Center in Minneapolis. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, almost 500,000 procedures were done in 2011 alone. If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, the procedure is quick – and it works. Cleansing and moisturizing daily might be skin care musts, but they don’t ensure a revitalized complexion quite like a few sessions of microdermabrasion. The painless procedure involves exfoliating the surface layer of the skin with a simple abrasive paddle, cream or crystals. “Microdermabrasion removes the superficial portion of the skin,” explains Dr. Zelickson. Removing the dead cells (which can clog pores and leave skin dull and lackluster), allows the younger, smoother skin beneath to be revealed. What does all this mean for you?
