subject: Safety Involved in Home Microdermabrasion [print this page] To have professional skin care in your own home and without any help from an expert is now possible with the use of home microdermabrasion.The process involved is in fact quite simple that you don't need anyone's assistance, even one who possesses skills as regards facials and other related tasks. All that you need to have is your own microdermabrasion machine to be used in your own home, one that you have easy access each time you desire a quick fix for your facial skin. However, while the routine can be easily performed by yourself, you may still have apprehensions over its safety.Of course, you have all the reasons to be quite fearful of any task that deals with your facial skin. Any accident can surely affect how you look. Worse, the damage done can be permanent or long-lasting. This is the reason why you need to find out if microdermabrasion has side effects.Same as almost all other facial skin care treatments, this can bring about some side effects. However, the good thing about it is that these are very minor. Not only are they less noticeable, they are also very temporary. In this respect, there is nothing to worry about the procedure.Whether what you have is home microdermabrasion or one done in a skin clinic or a spa, you can always expect the possibility of you having pigmented skin. This occurs if the process is performed unevenly on the skin. This is why you should first learn the correct techniques in performing the routine evenly on your skin.However, if you have a very fair complexion, this may not be too obvious. Skin pigmentation is quite evident for those with darker skin. Because of the friction or abrasion effected by the elements applied on it, your skin may also have a reddish color. Instead of worrying over this temporary effect, you should regard the redness as a sign that you have actually peeled off the dead skin.Some people who go through the process also experience dryness and itching. However, it's not quite often and even if they do happen, the discomfort is in fact very temporary and tolerable. It is clear that the process doesn't guarantee you of not getting any side effects you don't want.However, what is also clear is that these do not last very long and are not in any way serious. Just consider the long-term benefits it can offer and you will most likely come to terms that its side effects are relatively trivial.
