Skin Deep
By Marisa | November 8, 2007
One of the worst things about being a teenager, at least for me, was having acne. All I wanted back then was to have clear skin. Of course, I knew very little about acne or what caused it so I spent most of my time trying to cover it. Until I allowed a doctor to talk me into having a surgical microdermabrasion procedure done.
Dermatology sure has come a long way since then. For those who never heard of this or are too young to remember, the plastic surgeon basically used an instrument that resembles an electric sander to get rid of the top few layers of skin. Afterwards, my face looked like ground meat. Eventually, my face scabbed over, the scabs fell off, and my skin was very pink. And all the acne scars were gone.
Today, microdermabrasion is a much more gentle procedure, usually done with crystals over several office visits. It’s a gradual process that leaves your skin soft and radiant. How sad that it wasn’t available back when I needed it!
So far, my own kids have been very fortunate to have relatively clear skin. They’ve all had a pimple here and there but nothing major. I’m not sure why that is. Perhaps it’s the excellent skin care products they use. I make them myself, you know!
