Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a popular treatment for a variety of skin conditions including:
-Acne
-Acne scars
-Stretch marks
-Fine lines & wrinkles
-Enlarged pores
-Sun damage
-Hypo pigmentation
-Dull skin
The benefits of microdermabrasion acne treatment are well established. Thousands of young adults have seen great improvements to their acne through undergoing facial microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion benefits acne sufferers because by exfoliating the top layer of skin, pores become unclogged. This prevents bacteria from being trapped under the skin surface which leads to acne in the first place. Also, microdermabrasion crystals have anti-bacterial properties which kill many acne causing bacteria.
Microdermabrasion acne scar benefits
Among the benefits of microdermabrasion peels are a significant reduction in acne scars. A series of microdermabrasion treatments causes the skin to regenerate it’s outer layer several times leading to improved skin texture and reduction of acne scars. Deep acne scars, however, are not eliminated.
Microdermabrasion stretch mark benefits
Microdermabrasion has many benefits for improving stretch marks, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment. Microdermabrasion stimulates the skin to produce a fresh new outer layer of skin reducing the visibility of stretch marks. Microdermabrasion also helps to improve the effectiveness of stretch mark creams by allowing them to penetrate deeper layers of skin.
Microdermabrasion wrinkle benefits
Fine lines and wrinkles are a result of decreased levels of collagen and elastin in the skin as we get older. The benefit of microdermabrasion for treating wrinkles is that it stimulates the production of collagen, which is the building block of skin, and elastin which makes skin able to stretch without losing its shape.
Microdermabrasion dull skin benefits
The microdermabrasion involves suction. The benefit of suction on the skin in microdermabrasion is that this increases blood circulation to the skin. This results in an instantly improved complexion and a healthy glow.

There are four main benefits that make microdermabrasion an appealing treatment:
-Comfort
-Time
-Cost
-Safety
Microdermabrasion is painless and needs no anaesthesia. The benefit of this is that as soon as the treatment is finished a patient is able to continue with their daily activities.
A typical microdermabrasion session lasts about 30 minutes. This is of benefit to people who want improved skin without having to commit much time to it.
Microdermabrasion Costs are comparatively less than other procedures to treat the same conditions.
Another important benefit of microdermabrasion is that it poses very little risk to the patient. Side effects are rare, and when they do occur they are only temporary.
Overall benefits of microdermabrasion
The amount of benefit derived from microdermabrasion depends on various factors:
-Number of treatments
-Extent of skin condition
-Type of equipment used
-Training of treatment provider
Most microdermabrasion patients commit to a series of between 4-12 treatments. The more microdermabrasion treatments you receive, the more benefits you will see. However, there is a point beyond which microdermabrasion will not be effective regardless of how many treatments are given. This includes deep scars and severe pustular acne in which case professional consultation should be sought for alternative treatments.

Bella Medica's Microdermabrasion Utilizes Sodium Bicarbonate Microdermabrasion Crystals
Sodium bicarbonate is increasingly being seen as an alternative to traditional metal based microdermabrasion crystals. Proponents of sodium bicarbonate microdermabrasion crystals point to a number of benefits:
-Organic
-Water soluble
-Neutral ph balance
-Soothing
-Antiseptic
Sodium bicarbonate microdermabrasion crystals are organic which means once it’s disposed of it decomposes naturally. While this doesn’t give you better skin it’s helpful for the environment
Microdermabrasion crystals made from Sodium bicarbonate are water soluble. This means if you have any stuck on your face after the microdermabrasion treatment, you can just wash them off.
The neutral ph balance of these microdermabrasion crystals means they will not irritate the skin. In fact sodium bicarbonate has soothing qualities which will make your skin feel better.
Similar to traditional microdermabrasion crystals, sodium bicarbonate crystals possess antiseptic qualities helping to kill off bacteria that contribute to acne.
It’s important to remember that despite it’s chemical sounding name, sodium bicarbonate is actually baking soda, which we use in our toothpaste every day!
