Microdermabrasion is a safe and popular cosmetic procedure that exfoliates dead skin. It consists in mechanical exfoliation of the epidermis with diamond crystals, corundum or a stream of water (hydrabrasion). The treatment instantly smoothes, brightens and cleanses the skin, improves its colour and has an anti-ageing effect. Microdermabrasion is recommended for all skin types and ages. It is an excellent treatment for acne, scars or stretch marks and a great preparation for other cosmetic or dermatological treatments. Micropeeling enhances the absorption of active ingredients contained in cosmetics or therapeutic preparations. Microdermabrasion is also recommended prior to laser, acid or radio frequency treatments.
