Microdermabrasion is the first step to healthier, brighter skin. When it comes to your face, there’s good reason to be nervous about trying something new—but microdermabrasion is safe and simple! Here are some myths about microdermabrasion debunked!
It hurts!
It’s completely understandable why you might think a foreign substance scrubbing away dead skin cells from your face could hurt—but this really doesn’t! In fact, it can feel almost like a massage.
It’s risky.
Despite the long, almost intimidating name, microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure with minimal risk—especially when you’re having a professional skincare physician performing it.
It’s time-consuming
The bonus of this non-surgical performance is that this procedure is short and requires no downtime! Lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, when you’re done, you’re good to go. You may have a slightly pink tint to your face for a few hours, but it will be replaced by smooth, glowing skin in no time.
It’s pointless
Even with a regular skincare routine, it’s still important to exfoliate if you’re dedicated to clear, healthy skin. Microdermabrasion is designed to remove dead skin cells and debris that your regular nightly routine cannot do alone.
It’s just as effective to DIY
DIY methods on Pinterest or over the counter scrubs are simply not as effective. Microdermabrasion is still a medical procedure and for effective results, it’s best to seek a skincare professional.
Myth 1: Only people with oily skin can get acne
Acne is caused by clogged pores and bacteria. Flakes of dead skin cells and dirt can clog pores trapping acne causing bacteria for people with dry skin. Oily skin types produce excess oil, which can lead to clogged pores and therefore acne. The type of treatment used to treat acne will be determined by your skin type, oily or dry.
Myth 2: Acne treatments work quickly
The best acne treatment is prevention. The acne cycle takes eight weeks, meaning it can take up to eight weeks to see your full results from an acne skincare regimen or treatment. Consistency is key in seeing results along with sticking with your prescribed regiment, even if you don’t see results right away.
Myth 3: The sun can clear acne
The sun can may make your pimples appear less noticeable, but that doesn’t mean they are gone. Sun exposure can make acne worse by dehydrating the skin and therefore triggers increased oil production. You may also see an increase in hyperpigmentation and darkening of your acne scars. We recommend a physical sunscreen of an SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from sun exposure.
Myth 4: Scrubbing your skin will get rid of pimples
Over-exfoliating worsens acne. We recommend using a cleanser based on your skin type that contains either salicylic or glycolic acid.
Myth 5: Retinoids make your skin more sensitive to the sun
Retinol and Retin-A’s are used to treat acne. These products are designed to be used at nighttime to promote cellular turnover because they lose their efficacy when exposed to sunlight. Again, we recommend an SPF 30 or higher to stay protected from sun exposure.
