Choosing The Right Personal Microdermabrasion System

First lets examine the skin itself. The two main layers of the skin are the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It's a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through.

This barrier also acts upon expensive lotions that you buy to help your skin, but only a small fraction of the lotion can get through this protective layer of dead skin cells and oils which comprise the stratum corneum. This layer is home to many minor skin imperfections like fine wrinkle lines and blemishes. All of the action in microdermabrasion takes place at the level of the stratum corneum.

The principal of microdermabrasion is to break up and remove the stratum corneum.

With the stratum corneum gone, the skin's surface is removed. A healing process begins, and brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. Some of the skin's visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, may be removed. Most importantly, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin.

By mechanically exfoliating the surface of your skin over a course of weekly sessions, you can remove years of dull build-up in as little as four to six weeks. Over time, this repetitive process stimulates the production of a new layer of skin cells, bringing with it an increased level of collagen and elastin.

By choosing wisely, you can have wonderful benefits including encouragement of new skin development, reduced wrinkles and contour defects, promotion of newer, younger looking skin, tighter skin and a more toned face, and reduced pore size.

So now imagine how to accomplish microdermabrasion.

Professionals have used a dry procedure incorporating abrasion and suction for years. This proven method is now available to you at home with the Age Sciences personal microderm system.

Other systems, which use a polisher and a lotion type of system, do not break up and remove the stratum corneum like the Age Sciences system does because they do not have suction, and a controlled, dry abrasion. Only abrasion and suction combined can provide you with the quality of microdermabrasion you need.

Removal of the Stratum Corneum IS NOT a daily skin care regimen, and must not be done more than once a week. Products which are used daily do not remove the Stratum Corneum.

If you are ready to embark upon a whole new type of superior skin care at home, only the technology Age Sciences brings to you will bring the effectiveness you want. The built in safety features such as auto-limited abrasion force, and auto suction make using Age Sciences Personal Microderm so easy! Click here for more facts and frequently asked questions.
