What is Microdermabrasion:
Microdermabrasion treatment utilizes a minimally abrasive instrument that gently removes the thicker and uneven outer layer of your skin. Microdermabrasion is used to treat light scarring, discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks.
Microdermabrasion can also help in thickening your collagen, which allows for a younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin that makes skin appear tight and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, causing looser and uneven skin.
