GlossaryMicrodermabrasion

non-invasive skin exfoliation using fine crystals or diamond-tipped wand

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the skin using fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This treatment can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and help with minor skin imperfections like acne scars and age spots.
