Microdermabrasion is a procedure that utilizes fine corundum (colorless sapphire) crystals to remove the top dead layer of skin. This can be used effectively on all skin types to minimize the appearance of scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, uneven skin tones, and dull, lifeless, sun-damaged skin. The procedure also helps to create collagen under the surface of the skin to fill in lines from underneath.  You can expect mild redness for no more than one hour after the procedure, and it may be repeated every 2 weeks for superficial lines, brown spots and acne. This procedure can also be followed by a treatment facial, which prolongs its results.
