Microdermabrasion is a common procedure in which the skin is exfoliated using finely ground mineral crystals. It is commonly done in a doctor’s office or spa center. However, a microdermabrasion cream and/or microdermabrasion kits can give you the same results but in the comfort of your own home.

First, we will take a look at the history of microdermabrasion. Then we will move on to how you can attain its benefits with having to go to the doctor’s office.

Predecessors of Microdermabrasion

The concept of abrading the skin is not recent. Reports have been stated that Egyptian doctors used paper similar to sandpaper to smooth out scars as far back as 1500 BC. During the 1900’s in Germany, a device was designed with rotating wheels and rasps to be used as an exfoliating apparatus.

Fifty years later, motorized wire brushes were used to replace hand powered tools. Dermabrasion was born. This procedure became common for treating skin blemishes, scars, acne scars and aging skin. However, its popularity could not disguise the problems that dermabrasion caused. 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.

To deal with these side effects, the first microdermabrasion machine was created in the mid 1980’s. Since then, the market for microdermabrasion machines has increases exponentially. The majority of the machines on the market find their way to doctor’s offices and day or health spas.

Home Microdermabrasion Kits and Microdermabrasion Creams

Due to the popularity of microdermabrasion, now there are microdermabrasion kits that are available to the public in general. There is a wide range of creams and kits that you can use in your home and at an affordable price.

Microdermabrasion kits can be of two different kinds. The first comes with the same type of ‘wand’ 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 other type of microdermabrasion kit is a cream that is applied with your fingers or a washcloth. 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 singular serum is derived from the common garden snail (Helix aspersa) and is known to protect, renew, repair and deeply moisturize the skin.

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