Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a commonly used skin resurfacing treatment. This special procedure rejuvenates and restores a natural glow to your skin. The  treatments effectiveness depends on two very important factors. The first is whether the Microdermabrasion machine is a Medical Grade machine which must be used only under the supervision of a licensed physician, or simply an esthetician grade machine that anyone can use. The second, is the technique of the physician. As you know, you can place a paint brush in a persons hands, but that does not necessarily make that person the next Rembrandt.  
 
Microdermabrasion goes back to Ancient Egypt. Egyptian women, eager to remove minor skin flaws, used to peel the outermost derm (skin) layers by using fine sand and abrasive masks with alabaster particles.
 
Since then, women have used hundreds of substances and methods to exfoliate, cleanse and naturally freshen and lighten their skin. In more recent times, dermabrasion, chemical peels (glycolic acid peel and alpha hydroxy acids, for example), laser resurfacing and active balms proved to be extremely effective.

Microdermabrasion is a  non-invasive facial skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatment that actually works. The results are immediately visible and apparent to the touch.
