Microdermabrasion is a gentle gradual exfoliation of the skin's surface cells that reduces damage caused by age, sun and other environmental and hereditary factors. It can minimize fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring and even lighten age spots, and can be performed on any part of the body. It is done in a series of treatments, each lasting about 30 minutes so that you can return to work and resume all normal activates immediately.
