Microdermabrasion or Skin Polishing
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melanoma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.
The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface of gently sand away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it. Treatment results in smooth, supple, and glowing skin and results improve with every treatment.
A different microdermabrasion technique sprays fine particles of aluminium oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a vacuum/suction to accomplish the same outcome as the abrasive surface.
Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors. People might choose to get the procedure if they have the following skin concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation, age spots, and brown spots
- Enlarged pores and blackheads
- Acne and acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Dull looking skin complexion
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Melasma
- Sun damage
