Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses fine crystals and a
controlled vacuum to exfoliate the skin. After the treatment,
the skin has improved texture and softness, as well as fewer
imperfections such as wrinkles and acne scars. Microdermabrasion
uses a jet spray of mineral crystals to remove, then vacuum, the
outer keratin layer of the skin. While the effects of
Microdermabrasion are not as dramatic as those of laser
resurfacing, recovery time after the procedure is also much
shorter.
