What is Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion machines are made of a compressor and pump that mix gentle abrasion with suction to peel the outer skin layer (10-15 microns of skin, a layer so thin that you can't see it). The entire procedure, unlike dermabrasion or laser skin surgery, doesn't take more than 30-60 minutes. You can have it on the face, neck, chest, back, feet and hands.

It is relatively painless to low and mild pain. The skin does look slightly red in the first 24 hours, but that's where the discomfort ends.
