Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses finely ground mineral crystals to exfoliate the skin. Usually, it is performed in a health spa or at a doctor's office. However, you can get the benefits of this procedure in the comfort of your own home with microdermabrasion cream and/or microdermabrasion kits.

First of all we will review the history of microdermabrasion and then we will see how you can get its benefits in your home.

Precursors to Microdermabrasion

The idea of abrading the skin has been used for many centuries. Reports have been stated that Egyptian doctors used paper similar to sandpaper to smooth out scars as far back as 1500 BC. More recently in the 1900's in Germany, a device with wheels and rasps was used to exfoliate the skin.

Fifty years later, motorized wire brushes were used to replace hand powered tools. This way dermabrasion was born. It quickly became a popular procedure for treating skin blemishes, aging skin and scars, like acne scars. Even though it was popular, dermabrasion had its problems. For example, it needed to be performed with anesthesia because it caused pain, it required many weeks for the epidermis to heal back and it often led to more scarring.

In 1985 the first microdermabrasion machine was created in response to the side effects caused by dermabrasion. The demand for microdermabrasion machines has exploded since they first appeared. For the most part, these machines are used by doctor's and cosmeticians in health or day spas.

Home Microdermabrasion Kits and Microdermabrasion Creams

Because of its popularity, microdermabrasion kits have become more and more accessible to the public in general. There is a wide offer of kits and creams that you can purchase for an affordable price and in the comfort of your own home.

Microdermabrasion kits can be of two different kinds. The first type of kit is the one that comes with a wand similar to the one used by professionals. This types of kits usually include a includes special attachments, a special scrub or gel and a microdermabrasion guide, a special gel for scrubbing and different attachments.

The second kind is a cream that contain an abrasive agent to exfoliate the skin. Our creams combine the most balanced and complete skin regenerating serum with the same abrading micro-crystals used in doctors' offices and estheticians' salons. The serum is derived from the Helix aspersa and has the power to protect your skin, renew and repair it and keep it fully moisturized.

Price is the main difference between these two types of kits. The kits containing wands are usually more expensive. Nevertheless, both types can help you get rid of skin imperfections.
