Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure
aiming for skin rejuvenation and renewal.
It can be applied to male or female patients at any age, and
for all skin types.
It is mainly used in the face but is also applicable in the
hands, back, chest, neck, shoulders, and other areas of the body.
The process takes no downtime at all, unlike other skin
treatments like chemical peeling. It is also relatively painless and very effective,
making it very popular among dermatologists.
How it Works
Microdermabrasion devices use a highly controlled wand with
fine micro-crystals that gently exfoliate dead skin cells. This process
introduces fresh new skin to come to the surface, resulting in younger looking
skin.
