The 101 on microdermabrasion, part 1

Odds are you’ve heard of microdermabrasion. You’ve seen it in magazines and probably have at least one friend 
who swears by it. But does it live up to the hype ? In this post, we’re going to talk about what microdermabrasion is 
and who can benefit from it.

​WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
In a nutshell, it’s a supercharged exfoliation that removes the rough, thick superficial outermost
layers of skin. There are two types of microdermabrasion machines, crystal and diamond tip. Crystal
microdermabrasion machines use a wand that sprays a fine mist of aluminum oxide crystals and vacuums them 
them up along with the dead skin. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is newer and is just what it sounds
like. An esthetician passes a diamond tipped wand over your skin. This diamond tip sands off your outer layers 
of skin and has suction to vacuum it all up.

​WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM MICRODERMABRASION?
If you want instantly fresher, younger looking skin then microderm can help you. In particular, it can be useful for:
- anti-aging
- reducing fine lines and minor wrinkles
- increased penetration of moisturizers and other skin care products
- improving uneven skin tone
- reducing dark spots 
- improving melasma
- softening skin
