So, if you want to get a lighter complexion or smoother skin you can consider this top-notch treatment. Most dermatologists consider it the best anti-aging treatment because it can reverse a variety of aging signs such as acne, spots, scars, blemishes, fine lines, crowβs feet or wrinkles, etc. In a controlled environment, tiny crystals are sprayed on the skin to flake off the tired and scarred skin.

Technique We Use:
At our clinic, our skin professional performs microdermabrasion in two simple ways that are briefly discussed below:
- A hand-held device is used to stream the tiny crystals over the skin surface. The vacuum attached to this device sucks off the targeted exfoliating crystals simultaneously. It is done along with the dead and loosened skin.
- A diamond-tip wand is moved across the skin gently. This is a newer approach for exfoliation.
Both these ways consume almost half an hour. As the technique removes the superficial dead skin cells, you might experience mild scratching. Additionally, some candidates also notice a vibrating sensation due to the lifting of dead skin.
