Guide To Getting Rid Of Age Spots

Microdermabrasion

With microdermabrasion, age spots are abraded away by a stream of crystals of aluminum oxide delivered through a wand operated by the dermatologist or aesthetician. This stream of crystals exfoliates the skin, which means it takes away the dry skin cells at the very top of the skin. At the same time, a vacuum cannula takes away these dead cells and the residue left by the crystals. Other dermatologists use a wand fitted with a diamond tip, while others use a stream of water and air to exfoliate the skin. The procedure not only removes the upper layer of cells but stimulates the body to produce fresh cells, which causes the darker age spots to fade over time. After the session, the dermatologist applies sunscreen or moisturizer to the patient’s face. As with the other mentioned treatments, microdermabrasion is an outpatient procedure, and patients can go home after the session.
