Microdermabrasion is known to be an effective skin treatment to renew overall skin tone and texture . Rest assured as this is minimally an invasive procedure and it’s quite a straightforward process that is not painful at all. In this skin treatment process, a variable flow of vacuum suction is used to maintain skin contact; meanwhile, tiny crystals are shot at your skin, which smoothes the skin's surface, thereby removing dead skin cells. The process is like exfoliation. Now the crystals can be something like a diamond or any other rock. The suction power of the vacuum and the crystals used for the process varies from clinic to clinic.
