How it Works

Microdermabrasion is a procedure that helps to promote a youthful, fresh appearance by stripping away the outer layer of skin on your face. It is often marketed as a 30-minute facelift, because it can give incredible results, vary quickly. Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, unlike traditional facelifts, and has fewer risks than botox injections, so it’s a high-impact, simple and affordable way of making yourself look more vibrant.

Many women turn to microdermabrasion as a quick pick-me-up before a big event. If they’re going to their school reunion, attending a wedding, or otherwise want to look their best, then they can go to a spa and get a microdermabrasion treatment, taking years off their appearance without the stress or hassle of more expensive treatments.

Until relatively recently, microdermabrasion was something that could only be performed at a spa. The process uses tiny crystals or diamonds to scrub away the dead skin cells on the outer layer of the skin. This layer is known as the stratum corneum. When you remove that layer, your body reacts as if it was injured, and replaces those lost skin cells with new, healthy ones. If your skin had been looking tired, dry or just generally aged, then microdermabrasion can help with that.

The best microdermabrasion machines will gently ‘buff’ the skin with diamonds, and vacuum up the dead skin cells as they go. When microdermabrasion is performed in a spa, the end result is great looking, youthful, clear skin.

Home Treatments vs Spa Treatments

Spa machines are precision devices that will peel away the outer layer of the client’s skin without damaging the skin underneath, especially in the hands of a skilled operator. Home machines, until recently, have been riskier to use.

If a microdermabrasion machine is used incorrectly, over-used, or just poorly made, then there is the risk that it will cause damage to the skin. Side-effects can include hyperpigmentation, bleeding, bruising, redness and tightness. Skilled spa clinicians using high-end equipment know how long to treat each part of the face, which areas to avoid, and how each client’s skin is likely to respond. Home users may not be in such a good position to judge how to perform their treatment.

That’s why the best microdermabrasion machines are designed to be both powerful and gentle on the skin. Think of microdermabrasion as ‘using sandpaper on your skin’. If the sandpaper is too rough, or you rub too hard or for too long, you’re going to damage the healthy skin underneath the dead cells.

Some low-cost machines use coarse diamonds or low-quality crystals instead of diamonds. This leads to roughness and to red patches, and can even make any pre-existing skin issues worse, causing the user’s skin to become flaky and dry.

Microderm GLO’s Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine helps to prevent these problems because it uses high-quality diamond tips, and just like the devices used in spas it has a suction feature to pick up the loose skin as you go. This means that you don’t have to worry about the diamond tip getting ‘gummed up’ after just a few minutes of use.

In addition, this diamond microdermabrasion tool works quickly. A treatment should take only four minutes, and the device tells the user when to move on to a different part of their face. Many novices make the mistake of assuming that if they have a problem area, such as a greasy patch of skin, or blackheads around the T-Zone, they should “really scrub” that area with their microdermabrasion tool. This is an incorrect assumption, and one that can backfire leading to tighter, rougher skin instead of the smoother look that they were hoping for. The guided feature helps users to avoid that mistake, and instead ensures they give themselves a thorough face and neck treatment.

Getting the Most Out of Your Microdermabrasion Tool

Home microdermabrasion is something that is still in its infancy, but it is also something that more people should consider using as a part of their regular beauty routines. The best microdermabrasion machine will offer gentle, effective removal of dead skin, without the risks that are associated with using chemical peels, or even scrubbing with microbeads – something that many countries have now banned from being used in cosmetics because of the harm that they do to the environment.

Microderm GLO offers home users a chance to enjoy microdermabrasion treatments at home, and they include some detailed instructions for how to get the most out of their devices. Users should remember that having microdermabrasion treatments too frequently can damage the skin, dry it out, and cause long-lasting problems. That’s why it is recommended to use this device just once per week, for four minutes at a time.

Users should start on the lowest power setting, and only increase the power if they feel that the treatments are not working. After each treatment, they should take care to moisturize their skin with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent the new, healthy skin from drying out too quickly.

It’s also important to use sunscreen when you go outside. This is something that everyone should be doing anyway, but that is particularly important for those who are performing regular microdermabrasion treatments. When you remove the outer layer of skin, you are exposing a younger, and more delicate, layer to the sun. To prevent those delicate layers of skin from being damaged by the sun, apply SPF 50+ every four hours, especially while outside. If possible, do not go out in the sun immediately after microdermabrasion.

Remember that this device is, essentially, a form of exfoliating agent. If you are using the Microderm GLO Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine then you should not be using other exfoliating agents. That means stay away from facial scrubs and in particular from hyaluronic acid and other chemical peels for at least seven days after a microdermabrasion treatment. If you’re using this every week, then you will never need to use another form of exfoliating agent again.

You may not need to use microdermabrasion every week. Many people find that a treatment works very well as a ‘pick me up’, and that if they eat right, drink lots of water, stay out of the sun, wear sunscreen, and use a moisturizer every day their skin continues to look good for several weeks or even longer than that after each treatment. They tend to use microdermabrasion only for special occasions, but even then, buying a home microdermabrasion machine can save a lot of money compared paying for to trips to the spa.

Conclusion

The Microderm GLO Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine and Suction Tool is easily a contender for the title of best microdermabrasion machine. It is made from high-quality materials, is easy to use, and works very well even for those with sensitive skin.

If you are looking for a way to save money on microdermabrasion, we highly recommend this product. Used correctly, it can promote collagen production, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and give you ‘Instagram Filter’ skin without the filter.

Remember, though, that microdermabrasion alone won’t work minerals. For the best, healthiest looking skin, a good moisturizing regimen is a must, along with a healthy lifestyle. What microdermabrasion can do, however, is speed up the rate at which you see the effects of those good decisions, and bring out the best in your skin ready for that big party.
