Microdermabrasion is a process of lightly removing the dead layer of the skin through the non-surgical procedure. This is done by using a crystal wand. It is a handheld device accompanied by a vacuuming machine. The machine sprays hot crystals on the skin at a very high speed.
Due to the ablative nature of the crystal Microdermabrasion treatment, it causes the dead skin to detach from the live skin. The dead skin cells together with the particles are vacuumed away to a waste canister attached to the machine.
The act of sucking away the dead skin through the vacuum device causes an instant uplifting of the skin. The uplifting creates more surface area and eventually an increased blood flow. As such, the treatment yields almost on-the-spot results.
It is a progressive form of medication which leaves minor damage to the skin and does not give rise to wounds or cause bleeding.
