Filed under Acne Scars, Laser & Microdermabrasion
Probably one of the best cosmetic procedures in today’s world is called microdermabrasion. It is none other than the removal of the outer layer of the skin by performing a light abrasion which to some might sound agonizing but in reality it is quite a simple operation. This procedure is typically performed by dermatologists and specialists in spas and beauty salons, but nowadays it can be done very easily at the comfort of your home thanks to microdermabrasion kits.
More and more elderly women are using microdermabrasion as a useful means to fighting the stress and strides of old age. As time goes by, the cleansing of the skin, the removal of sweat and dust in the skin cells becomes a real problem. Just by cleansing and moisturizing your skin is not enough to keep your complexion radiant. As a matter of fact, the aging of a woman’s skin is more visible on the face and microdermabrasion seems to be working very well for countless women who have had their skin rejuvenated and free from skin stretching marks and wrinkles owing to this procedure. This is also effective on young women who have problems with acne. It is highly recommended that the treatment of microdermabrasion should be used by women to prevent the onset of old aged skin.
The process of microdermabrasion in some spas and beauty salons is very simple. It is a mechanical abrasion wand that utilizes zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals to get rid of the skin cells of the outer layer where these cells are practically vacuumed off. The procedure is usually painless even if some women have complained that after undergoing this treatment they felt pain and their skin was sore for several days. On the other hand, microdermabrasion done in these places by professionals is tailored to the needs of every single customer.
The home microdermabrasion kit version that you can purchase is for those women who don’t have any time to visit the spas or beauty salon because of their working commitments and is very simple to use. The kit comes with a hand held microdermabrasion machine powered by batteries and has three soft brushes which attach to the machine itself. The kit also includes a container with minute crystals of zinc oxide, which are rubbed on the face by the brushes. When the machine is switched on and working, it applies the fine crystals on the skin removing all the dead cells. You are in charge of the amount of pressure you apply to the skin so it should be harmless and easy to do.
There could be some negative reaction to the minute crystals for instance, if such crystals were inhaled into the lungs it could cause difficulty of breathing as well as produce irritation to the nose and make you start to cough. It is very important that before undertaking microdermabrasion you cover the nostrils as well as eyes. In any case, the recommendation is that you do a thorough investigation of the spa or salon or you intend to go to before deciding where to go.

Pimples – Causes and Symptoms of Pimples
July 13, 2009 by Acne Treatments and Skin Care Tips
Filed under About Acne
Pimples are basically a skin disease typical to youth, but it may occur to the people at any age. If a pore gets clogged but stays open, the top may darken and you’ve got a blackhead. A pimple happens when dead skin and bacteria work their way under live skin. This leads to a small infection that makes your skin look red.
Pimples relate the term acne which is used to describe whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. (You may well recognize slang terms like spots, or zits). Most teenagers get the type of acne called acne vulgaris, which can show up on the face, neck, shoulders, back, and chest. Skin pores contain oil glands which naturally lubricate your skin and hair. But sometimes if a pore gets clogged beneath the skin with excess oil and bacteria, the dreaded acne is caused. Whiteheads happen when a pore gets clogged, closes, and then bulges out.
We have provided you here all symptoms, causes and treatment methods of Pimples.
Symptoms of pimples
There are two main types of acne: non-inflammatory and inflammatory.
In non-inflammatory acne, there are usually just a few whiteheads and blackheads on the face. A relatively mild type of acne, it can often be treated effectively with nonprescription medicines. The majority of people with acne have this type of acne.
With inflammatory acne, the whiteheads become inflamed and red pimples and pustules develop. In its most severe form, inflammatory acne can cause disfiguring cysts and deep, pitting scars of the face, neck, back, chest and groin. Prescription drugs and sometimes surgery are needed to treat inflammatory acne.
Causes of Pimples
The causes of pimples are as follows:
· Mainly pimples are caused by the over activity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily substances onto the skin.
· Natural hormones reactions
· Plugged skin. Lots of skin cells can close the oil glands or pores, creating blackheads or whiteheads, (as mentioned earlier).
· Bacteria. Bacteria can easily infect oil glands and pores and grow very quickly.
· Family background and hereditary
· Pimples happens when oil (sebaceous) glands come to life around puberty stimulated by male hormones from the adrenal glands of both boys and girls
· The skin below and around the follicles are constantly shedding and growing new skin. These dead skin cells can become excessive and clog up the pores. Contributing to this may be the overproduction of sebum, clogging the pores even more. Once the pores become clogged bacteria form causing a lesion or pimple.
· Papules or pustules are what people usually call pimples. These are raised red bumps because the clogged pores have become infected. The bacteria also cause swelling and bulging. If the pimple is filled with pus it is called a pustule. The pus can become yellow with infection.
Treatment of Pimples
Methods for Treating Pimples are:
Topical application (applied to the skin) of the following products can help or clear pimples:
1. Metronidazole - present in Noritate, or Metro-cream, gel or lotion
2. Clindamycin - present in Cleocin T lotion
3. Erythromycin - present in Benzamycin gel (with Benzoyl Peroxide)
4. Azelaic Acid - present in Azelex cream
Oral antibiotics, such as the following, can also help or clear pimples:
1. Tetracycline
2. Minocycline - such as Dynacin or Minocin
3. Erythromycin
