What is "microdermabrasion"?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves gently exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin using a specialized device. During the procedure, fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand are applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cellular turnover. This helps to improve the texture and tone of the skin, and diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.
