Ultrasound Spatula / Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a process that involves buffing the skin with the use of grains of diamond or other hard substances. It acts as a polish for the skin that removes any scarred or discolored tissue.

The procedure aims to induce the production of collagen by accelerating the rebuilding of new and healthy collagen in the skin. And according to the study, it has succeeded on doing so. The regrowth and skin cell turnover will make the skin visibly fresher. Because of this, it may improve the appearance of the signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines, as well as make scars less visible.

The recent study was conducted by Mr. Darius J. Karimipour, MD and his colleagues at the University of Michigan. Forty volunteers underwent a microdermabrasion procedure on their aged forearm. The twenty-six men and fourteen women who participated in the study had ages ranging from 50 to 83.

The participants were observed before with varying abrasiveness of medium hand grit, less visible changes were seen.

On the other hand, according to the researchers, microdermabrasion with the coarse-grit hand piece produced positive results on the treated skin. There was a wide array improvement that is associated with wound healing and skin remodeling which includes collagen. These results were not observed on the participants who received treatments using the medium-grit hand piece.

“We demonstrate that aggressive non-ablative microdermabrasion (not involving destruction of skin tissue) is an effective procedure to stimulate collagen production in human skin. They concluded that microdermabrasion could be a useful procedure for inducing collagen growth and to stimulate the remodeling of the skin. The observed constructive molecular response and minimal downtime were deemed to be optimistic signs for the procedure on the field of skin rejuvenation.
