What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetics procedure in which the dead outermost surface or Sun-damaged skin of the skin is partially or completely removed by abrasion. Microdermabrasion is also be used to lessen th scars and dark spots on the skin.

Whatever results we expect from Microdermabrasion can also be gained by chemical peeling also. Your doctor/Dermatologist decides which procedure best suits to you.

Prior to Microdermabrasion, Dermabrasion was popular. Dermabrasion also produce the same results but with greater risks. It requires significant operator experience and expertise to precisely abrase the upper layer of skin with out damaging the other layers of the skin.

In Microdermabrasion, high-pressure stream of aluminum oxide crystals will be deposited on the skin with small strokes of a hand pipe such that the dead outer layer of the skin will be peeled off.
