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 use a microdermabrasion cream and/or microdermabrasion kits to get the same benefits 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 has been around for centuries. It can be dated as far back as 1500 BC when Egyptian doctors used paper similar to sandpaper to smooth out scars. During the 1900's in Germany, a device was designed with rotating wheels and rasps to be used as an exfoliating apparatus.

Some 50 years, a motorized machine with wire brushes replaced the hand powered devices. Dermabrasion was born. This procedure quickly became a common treatment for skin blemishes, aging skin, scars and acne scars. Even though it was popular, dermabrasion had its problems. For example, the procedure was painful and required anesthesia, it required weeks of downtime to heal the epidermis and, worst of all, it often led to scarring.

To deal with these side effects, the first microdermabrasion machine was created in the mid 1980's. The demand for microdermabrasion machines has exploded since they first appeared. The majority of the machines on the market find their way to doctor's offices and day or health spas.

The second kind is a cream that contain an abrasive agent to exfoliate the skin.
