Microdermabrasion is a popular skincare procedure because it works on both the outer layer of the skin (called the epidermis) as well as the deep layer of the skin (the dermis). Microdermabrasion removes the dead, outermost layer of the skin by light abrasion to renewal glowing, younger-looking skin below. The most popular and effective method of microdermabrasion uses a fine gentle stream of crystals toward the skin to physically remove the dead skin cells then vacuums off the removed dead skin cells and excess particles. Also knows as a ‘lunchtime peel’, microdermabrasion is not painful. Additionally, it’s only post-procedure side effect is a pinkish skin tone which usually disappears within a few minutes or hours depending on the degree of abrasion that took place.

How Microdermabrasion is beneficial for Acne:
Microdermabrasion removes the first few layers of the epidermis. Some acne scars are limited to the epidermis; for those, microdermabrasion can effectively remove the damaged tissue, leaving the healthy new skin tissue beneath.
