Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure. The microdermabrasion treatment is performed by a machine that removes the top layer of the skin, and then vacuums the dead cells away. It reduces or eliminates fine facial lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging and it can also improve the appearance of acne scars and other light scarring.
Before the microdermabrasion treatment you should refrain from waxing or tanning, and apply sunscreen in a daily basis. You can experience some redness and irritation after the procedure but it should fade within 24 hours. You should avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen and moisturizer for a few days.
