Exfoliate Skin

Home microdermabrasion is the affordable way to exfoliate your skin for a healthier looking face.Skin exfoliation, or to be more accurate, an advanced form of it, is what happens at the very heart of home microdermabrasion, not to be confused with professional office or Dry Dermabrasion treatments. The exfoliation associated with home microdermabrasion is less aggressive, more predictable and a nearly everlasting solution which dramatically reduces the appearance of wrinkles and darkened areas on your face and neck.

A younger, healthier looking face can be yours in as little as eight weeks. Home microdermabrasion is accelerated exfoliation which is how it works. Home microdermabrasion has become incredibly affordable (see About Us) and only requires one to two minutes per day of your time.

Exfoliation is a normal and unending process of your skin shedding its dead surface cells. Regular daily treatments with home Microdermabrasion, the accelerated exfoliant, will radically improve the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots on your face and neck.

Home accelerated exfoliation works as if it were a magical anti wrinkle cream rather than a simple exfoliant. Home microdermabrasion, being the accelerated exfoliant of choice, helps to turn back your physiologic clock. It is for this reason that you must use it daily for about eight weeks to see very good results. An eight week time interval is the minimum essential, obligatory time required. This is because; what you are doing is forcing your skin's physiology to change (to accelerate) and you simply cannot compel human physiology to change any faster, by any other technique known to modern medicine. Period.

That being said and out of the way, plan for eight weeks of use, with one to two minutes per day of extra shower time. That certainly seems like a small investment to make, in order to be yourself again as you appeared ten to fifteen years ago. (That assumes that you are age forty plus now.) A single 8 oz. jar of Microdermabrasion Cream will last virtually anyone the entire eight weeks, provided you use it only on your face and neck.

Home accelerated exfoliation removes a small bit of your skin's surface layer every day and will, over approximately two months, simulate more rapid production of new skin cells. Faster cell production and replacement promotes fresher, healthier skin with improved skin elasticity and improved skin texture. This fresher, healthier skin comes with a major reduction in the appearance of winkles and dark spots on your face and neck.

Eight weeks of accelerated exfoliation treatments will also enhance your skin's surface qualities, like absorption, which is necessary to get the real value out of your expensive moisturizers and cell regenerators. Home accelerated exfoliation works especially well for persons with Black skin. (see Black Skin Care)

Skin Anatomy 

New skin cells are produced at your skin's lower level (called the lower dermis). These new cells move upward slowly and as they ascend, produce filaments of a protein, keratin, as well as a granular substance, Keratobyline. The new cell's keratin and Keratobyline interact together and actually kill the new cell as it makes its way to the surface. This process is known as keratinization and makes the new cell to be exceptionally resilient to all types of physical stimuli by the time it takes its place in the surface layer.

The Epidermis:

The epidermis or surface layer of your skin, has between fifteen and forty layers of skin depending upon location. The thickest epidermis is on the soles of your feet, the thinnest is on your eyelids and the skin under your eyes. This epidermis or surface layer of your skin is comprised almost entirely of dead skin cells. In fact it is hard to find anything other than dead skin cells in the epidermis. Another way of looking at your epidermis; It is merely a bunch of very durable and flattened, protein-filled dead skin cells, heaped up like bricks in a wall. As a result of this natural process, your skin renews itself every month to five weeks or so. Most people shed an astonishing two pounds of skin cells every year! What ( I can't imagine) might one create with so many dead skin cells, assuming we could even find a method of capturing them?

The Middle Dermis:

The middle dermis (erroneously referred to as just the dermis) is the layer of skin that lies underneath the epidermis. Unlike the epidermis, however, the middle dermis is composed entirely of living cells. It consists largely of bundles of collagen, which provide general skin strength and they are interwoven with elastin fibers, tough filaments which give your skin its elastic recoil, firmness and additional strength. Together these bundles and fibers create a latticework, the sole purpose of which is to contain your skin cells. This is a collagen/elastin support system and is the skin's actual source of firmness, fullness and elasticity. Wrinkles originate in this middle layer of your skin as your body ages and fails to reproduce sufficient amounts of the collagen/elastin for the support system. The middle dermis also contains; blood vessels which feed essential nutrients to these areas, hair follicles, nerve fibers, sweat glands and sebaceous (or oil) glands.

The Lower Dermis:

Just as skin cells originate in the lower dermis, so too do the various other skin glands such as; the sweat and oil glands. From here they rise to the surface of the skin and function to eliminate waste matter. The lower dermis also acts as a cushion for the rest of the skin. It contains finely distributed muscles which regulate body temperature and a most important layer of subcutaneous fat which is indispensable (like it or not).

Skin Exfoliation and Renewal

The time interval referred to above (of approximately four or five weeks) required for a facial skin cell to renew itself and migrate to the surface is, in reality, based on young adults and it represents a "best case scenario". Cell renewal, in really, slows down drastically both as we age and as we subject ourselves to the effects of direct sunlight. When your skin is exposed to the sun for several hours at a time, it responds by becoming thicker at the surface (the dead cell layer) in order to protect its underlying layers. This is a normal physiologic reaction.

Sun damaged skin appears thick, leathery and has crease lines. Home accelerated exfoliation (or microdermabrasion) works on this surface layer of dead skin cells as if it were a magical anti wrinkle cream, rather than a simple exfoliant. Home microdermabrasion is first and foremost an accelerant to exfoliation, which may help you turn back your physiologic clock to a time when your skin was younger.

You merely have to stay with your daily treatment plan for about two months to see the benefits. Home microdermabrasion is quite like some mysterious anti aging skin care miracle cream, except there is no magic, only proven examples in people just like yourself. Home accelerated exfoliation serves its purpose best to enhance the appearance and properties of aged or sun-damaged skin. Nevertheless, it is not harmful when used as directed and can even help in the prevention of age related skin problems of young adults.
