The treatment works by gently exfoliating the skin. Usually, the level of exfoliation you get from an in-office treatment is much deeper than what you would get a home using an at-home kit or another exfoliation device.
When the outer layer of skin cells is removed, the body believes it’s been injured. That might sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually important for skin renewal. The “injury” causes the body to produce new, healthy cells to replace the damaged ones. The exfoliation also helps to improve blood flow to the skin and encourages collagen production.
Microdermabrasion can help minimize a variety of skin concerns, from dark spots to wrinkles and from scarring to enlarged pores.
