Microdermabrasion: How Does It Work?


Microdermabrasion is a process of mechanical exfoliation used to treat the skin with acne scars, fine lines, and age spots. It is the application of tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of the skin. This procedure is usually done to the face, chest, neck, arms, and hands.
Microdemabrasion machines work just as an electronic vacuum for the skin. Initially the machine sends crystals to the skin surface at a high speed to promote the exfoliation on the skin, and then the used crystal along with the exfoliated skin is sucked away. This process occurs when the top of the wand touches the skin and the circuit of pumping and suction is closed, therefore this process is called closed system microdermabrasion.
