I get bumps all over my legs and the back of my arms. I am led to believe that is is caused by clothing rubbing and not letting the hair come out because when I pop them the hair and tiny tear drop looking root comes out? Would mirco-dermabrasion help me? How and what is it?


Answer:
heres a question for you???….is the bumps on your legs on your theighs? cus i have the smae promblem and microdermabrasion will not work on it..its a skin condition called keratosis pilaris.. here’s a website that you can check it out

Answer:
Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a family of cosmetic procedures popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or absolutely removed by light abrasion, to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin.

The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months.

Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed with a wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come. [1] The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia.

The ideal way to know if this is a good idea for you is to consult with a Physician, though I don’t feel that this is what you need. You should probably get an appointment with a dermatologist and let them figure out what is going on. Good luck :)


Answer:
Microdermabrasion is mechanical exfoliation that removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face, chest and hands. Yes, microdermabrasion would certainly help you, but remember not to have more than 2 to 3 sessions in a week as it will dry out your skin terribly. You could try Zenmed's renewing microdermabrasion complex which has all the ingredients that you would find from a microdermabrasion session at a spa.

This is a good post on microdermabrasion, what it is? and how it works?


Answer:
Its the deepest exfoliation of the skin, it unclogs your pores and cleans your skin. Small crystals flow through a tub and bascially suck up the dead skin. You could do it on your legs and arms, it will make your skin a lot smoother and softer. But its kind of pricey. maybe they’re just ingrown hairs? try shaving your legs with Veet instead, it doesnt cause ingrown hairs.

Hope this helps!


Answer:
microdermabrasion is pretty much just scrubbing real good. You can pay for it in the spa and have a nice time while relaxing. It makes the skin look healthier and glow

Answer:
I don't know precisely what microdermabrasion is, but when you break down the term into three words:

Micro - Small

Derm -> EpiDERMis -> skin

Abrasion -> The type of friction caused by rubbing a rough surface against a soft/smooth one
