Best Microdermabrasion Machines in 2019

P.S. Throughout this guide I have chosen to use the three terms associated with the above machines - "microdermabrasion" and "microderm". In terms of this guide, these two terms means the same thing! 🙂

My Short Story

​I like to think of myself as a pretty ordinary girl. I look after myself in terms of my health, but not to the extent that it could be described as obsessive.

I’m conscious of what is good and what is bad for me, and I try my best to pick the former when a choice needs to be made. Most of the time I get it right, sometimes I don’t! But that’s life and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with choosing the Dark Side every now and again!!  

“Life is meant to be lived, so live it!”

- Someone wise 😉

The above is true! Life is meant to be enjoyed; it’s not meant to be a terrifying ordeal. However, enjoying it can prove difficult if you are petrified about every germ or fleck of dirt. So, in this regard, I make sure to keep a tight leash on my inner Sheldon Cooper. 🙂

This mindset of mine has been tested rather vehemently in recent times. By being part of the Health Base team, my knowledge on everything to do with healthcare as increased enormously over the past few years. I won’t lie; it scared me in the beginning!!

The more knowledge I gained, the more threats to my health I could see! Gradually, as I continued to expand my understanding, I calmed down and really began to comprehend things.

It wasn’t all doom and gloom as I had first thought. However, I had learned one vital lesson – that being the importance of looking after my complexion This is doubly significant to the skin that adorns our faces.

Below I will explain why it's so important that we care for this part of body on a daily basis. I will do this by exposing the biggest threat to our facial health. A threat that is largely ignored by countless millions of people - the threat of accumulation.

The Stark Reality of Accumulation

Nor can they be entirely avoided by applying protective creams. These things include the rays from the sun, pollution, weather elements, and other such damaging agents.

The danger with these particular agents is that their effect either won’t be immediately noticeable, or else their long-term harmful impact won’t be recognized. For example, over exposure to the sun’s rays may leave you with a red face or peeling nose. But a bit of after-sun and R&R will fix this, right?

Or how about a particularly viscous east wind. This will dry out your skin and could leave it flaky and irritated. But surely a good moisturizing rub will sort this issue, ye?

Or the ever-present air pollution that is evident in all our major cities. These invisible agents can stick to our faces and accumulate. However, this can obviously be remedied by exfoliating regularly, no?

The answer is yes…and no! All of the above can, and should be, treated on a regular basis with the above mentioned methods. There is no doubt that this will help your skin in the long run. Yet, the danger does not step there.

“Many of us think that only direct exposure to sun is dangerous for our skin – we assume that ‘natural light’ is fine. Think again! Just a little bit of UVA, all day, every day, really adds up.”

 - Brandith Irwin, MD

Over the years, these natural and manmade elements can cause serious problems for your complexion. The impacts can indeed be lessened by exfoliating, using barrier cream, and having common sense in your day-to-day life. The fact remains, tough, that these agents will eventually take their toll on your face.

But what else can we do? Well, I’ve explained the problem, so it’s only mannerly to next explain the solution!

What is this Treatment? 

I’ve no problem in admitting that I used to be one of these people. In my youth (teenage years), I very rarely bothered with looking after my face. As tends to happen with teenagers, I lacked the knowledge to properly care for my skin.

As a result, I rarely exfoliated. I moisturized every now and again, but not on a regular basis. And I used sun cream sparingly, really only when it was ridiculously hot or if my mother demanded it! Looking back now, these were idiotic moves on my part! Why? Yep, you guessed it – accumulation.

Thankfully, in recent times, the health industry have stepped up and delivered a solution that counters the negligence of youth. This solution comes in the form of microderm.

This treatment has been specifically designed to tackle the accumulative impact that life can have on our faces. It literally works to undo all the damage that we have unintentionally allowed happen to our facial features.

So, therefore, is it the solution? I certainly think so! But before you decide, read on to see how it works.

Benefits

​

Such a treatment works on the same principle as a facial scrub, except that it has far better results. Exfoliation kits and facial scrubs are fine for removing the majority of stuff that accumulates on your face. Stuff like dead skin cells, excess oil/sebum, or dirt.

Yet, these methods don’t get it all. And they don’t target long term accumulative agents. This is where microderm takes over.

Rather than just targeting these clogging materials, this treatment actually works to remove the outermost layer of skin on your face. This is the layer that has been battered and abused by life over god only knows how many years.

The majority of home kits incorporate a wand-like instrument (I’ll refrain from Harry Potter jokes 🙂 ). This wand possesses an abrasive tip that works to send a flow of tiny aluminum crystals/diamonds over the surface of your skin. These agents exfoliate and loosen any unwanted residue.

At the same time, the at home device applies a mild suction action to your skin which inhales all that nasty nonsense that had been clinging to your face. The crystal/diamond particles are also sucked away.

That’s pretty much the process in a nutshell. Sounds easy, right? Well it is! But the method is not the important thing. What’s important is this treatment can do for you.

Why Should We Use It?
