What Is Microdermabrasion?
Your skin goes through a lot every day. After fighting against the harmful rays of the sun, pollution, toxins, and harsh winds, your complexion is eventually going to show signs of a battle. Your body’s natural defenses will start to break down, and that is how skin can end up looking dull, damaged, rough, and dry. Thankfully, this is where microdermabrasion comes in!
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure that is used in order to renew the overall texture and tone of your skin. The treatment can improve the appearance of melasma, acne scarring, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and other conditions and concerns relating to your skin.
