Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic technique that uses as mechanical medium for exfoliation to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells.  It is a non-invasive procedure that is performed in-office by a trained skin care professional.  

Microdermabrasion is performed to decrease the appearance of superficial hyperpigmentation and sun damage as well as to deminish fine lines, wrinkles and shallow acne scars.  Removing the dead skin cells aids in the penetration of skin care products by up to 50% and allows make-up to go on much more smoothly.
