Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the skin by removing the top layer of dead skin cells. It’s often used to treat wrinkles, sun damage, scars, and stretch marks.
How Dermaplaning Works
A dermatologist or esthetician uses a special instrument to gently sand the skin
The instrument can use crystals or a diamond-tipped wand
The instrument sprays tiny crystals onto the skin to break apart and sand away the dead skin cells
The instrument then sucks up the debris and used crystals
