Many people in Houston live in highly polluted areas of the city. Even if you're not out by the factories on the east side of town every day, there are enough pollutants in the area to create skincare challenges for anyone.
Microdermabrasion can help. It uses microscopic crystals to fight the tiny chemical molecules attacking your face daily.
What kinds of pollutants cause skin care challenges?
Here in the Houston area, pollutants could include:
- Sulfur dioxide
- Nitrogen oxide
- Ozone
- Carbon monoxide
- Volatile organic compounds
- Gaseous metals
All of these pollutants are present in Houston's environment. Levels of nitrous oxides are especially high thanks to the presence of so many petrochemical plants. They average 170 parts per billion over three-month periods.
These pollutants can cause your skin to produce extra oil. They can also dehydrate your skin and reduce skin elasticity.
In plainer language: pollutants cause acne outbreaks and wrinkles. Pollutants can also cause eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and other major skin conditions.
How does microdermabrasion help manage pollution damage?
First, microdermabrasion helps eliminate the outer layer of dead, damaged skin. Removing dead skin immediately erases some of your wrinkles and gives your skin a brighter, cleaner appearance.
Next, microdermabrasion helps other products work more effectively. Salicylic acid cleansers can penetrate deep into your pores, fighting acne. Moisturizer will be able to penetrate the deepest layer of your skin.
Add a layer of sunscreen daily, and you'll give your skin what it needs to handle Houston's dubious air quality.
How often do you need microdermabrasion in Houston to keep your skin looking fresh and clean?
We recommend scheduling a monthly session. Ongoing maintenance will give you incredible results that will help you transform your skin over time.
To understand why, think about your house. Combining daily maintenance cleans with monthly deep cleans makes your home look and feel fantastic. The same is true for your skin!
Schedule a Consultation Today
Before you receive microdermabrasion, you must meet with a certified skincare technician. We need to discuss your goals and go over your health history to make sure you're a good candidate for microdermabrasion and that you have realistic expectations about what microdermabrasion can do for you.
An initial consultation also allows you to ask questions and explore other services that might help you meet your skincare goals. For example, combining microdermabrasion with a chemical peel might achieve even better results.
