Microdermabrasion

Definition

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment where a licensed medical provider uses gentle exfoliation to target the outer layer of dead skin cells, helping to make the skin smoother and healthier.

Alternative names

Power peel; Body polishing; Chemical peels

Description

As we age, the soft and smooth skin we鈥檙e born with can start to look dull and damaged. This happens because we lose collagen, and things like sun exposure, acne, and scars can add layers of dead skin. Microdermabrasion can help by encouraging new skin cells to grow and giving the skin a refreshed look.

Products

The diamond microdermabrasion system uses a diamond tip wand instead of crystals. This method is safer, especially around sensitive areas like the eyes and mouth, because it doesn't have tiny crystals that could cause damage or be swallowed.

This microdermabrasion treatment uses a diamond tip to gently scrape off the dead skin cells on the surface, followed by suction to remove dirt and dead skin. This procedure can help improve skin by reducing acne, blemishes, dark spots, scars, stretch marks, uneven texture, and wrinkles. Using this treatment along with other skin care products can help restore nutrients and promote healthy skin.

Potential side effects

Some potential side effects from microdermabrasion include:

Outlook (prognosis)
