The Basics: Crystal Resurfacing


For a while, chemical and laser peels were the hottest and most effective beauty treatment.  They could drastically reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and reveal a fresh new layer of skin that's almost blemish-free.  These beauty treatments are effective, but they can cost a considerable amount of money.  Some people also claim that they feel discomfort after chemical peels, and after the process the skin is usually somewhat exposed and sensitive. 

Microdermabrasion through crystal resurfacing can give you the aesthetic results of a chemical peel without the associated discomfort and sensitivity.   Crystal resurfacing abrades the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. It is a wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical or laser peels.

Who is it for?

Crystal resurfacing can work for almost anybody; this kind of microdermabrasion treatment can treat an array of skin problems.  Crystal resurfacing is recommended for people of all ages, teenagers and people in their 60's and 70's can all equally benefit from crystal resurfacing. 

What can crystal resurfacing do for my skin?

Crystal resurfacing does so much for your skin, the benefits are almost too numerous to mention:

-Deep cleans pores
-Eliminates acne, blackheads and whiteheads,
-Diminishes the signs of aging:
-thinning collagen
-sagging skin
-fine lines
-wrinkles
-Removes scars
-Reduces the appearance of freckles and stretch marks
-Gives skin a softer more youthful and radiant appearance
-Stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.

How is it done?

Aluminum oxide crystals are commonly used in crystal resurfacing treatments, but other companies have different materials they like to use for their crystals.  The abrasive crystal agents slough dead cells of the skin which helps to drastically reduce wrinkles, hyper pigmentation and discoloration. The process helps to significantly rid the skin of blemishes and rejuvenate skin.

Beauty for All!-The Joy of Personal Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of the most effective and simple skin treatments around. When the revolutionary beauty treatment first hit the market in the 1980s people couldn't get enough of it, and after being on the market for a few years the treatment has only managed to improve upon itself. Before people could only receive microdermabrasion treatments in the office of a licensed cosmetologist or dermatologist. Now thanks to advances in the field of dermatology and cosmetology, personal microdermabrasion is now possible.

Professional Work at Home 

Microdermabrasion could be viewed as a combination of extreme exfoliation and tame skin resurfacing. Microdermabrasion tools remove dead skin cells from the outer most layer of skin, which is the skin layer that is most affected by wrinkles, fine lines, scaring, acne, and blemishes in general. Today thanks to the improvements made in microdermabrasion, people can perform the process in the comfort of their own homes.

Personal microdermabrasion makes this near miracle beauty treatment accessible for people from all walks of life. Traditional microdermabrasion can cost a considerable amount of money. People have to visit a dermatologist or cosmetologist for each treatment, and paying for all of that professional help can add up very quickly. Instead of paying up to four figures for every treatment, people only have to pay a onetime fee to purchase the kit.

True microdermabrasion at-home use kits shouldn't solely include crèmes and face washes. Many people will be disappointed when they spend a lot of money on a face wash and moisturizer that doesn't deliver the promised results. Your skin will be clean and slightly smoother, but those results can't compare to the ones obtained from true personal microdermabrasion. Effective personal microdermabrasion tools should include not just washes and creams, but also a resurfacing tool. These tools use a combination of powerful corundum crystals and random orbit vibration to remove old skin cells and bring newer, fresher cells to the surface. If you want your skin to look its best find a personal microdermabrasion kit and get the fresh, rejuvenated skin you deserve today.
