What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin. During the treatment, a handheld device is used to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and debris. This process helps to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production, resulting in smoother, softer, and more radiant skin.
