Microdermabrasion
4.6 /5 (26 Reviews)
Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment that removes superficially damaged skin. The process involves a controlled spray of fine aluminum oxide, which is applied to the skin to smoothe fine wrinkles & help erase acne blemishes, superficial age spots & large pores. Sun spot and scar removal can also be accomplished with microdermabrasion. Often referred to as intense exfoliation for the skin, microdermabrasion isn't the best method for treating deep wrinkles, but can remove fine lines and superficial blemishes with minimal risk or downtime. Patients can request microdermabrasion treatments at most cosmetic clinics, as well as a majority of medical spas and day spas.
