Microdermabrasion is a gentle skin resurfacing treatment that can be used to correct many common skin problems and to give you a smoother, clearer complexion. In fact, it can be used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Minor sun damage
- Small acne scars
It can also be used to diminsh acne by cleaning pores and generally rejuvenates the skin by stimulating the production of collagen.
The secret to microdermabrasion is in the crystals. Not like Folger’s crystals—actual crystalline material that is blown onto the skin and immediately removed by powerful suction, taking with it dead or damaged skin cells and stimulating a healing response.
The benefits of microdermabrasion are:
- No side effects
- Immediately freshens the skin
- Safe for all skin colors and types
- Painless
- A good procedure for people sensitive to chemical peels
Microdermabrasion is a very minor treatment, suitable for addressing slight aesthetic concerns to give you an overall improved appearance.
