Microdermabrasion is a technique of removing the outer layer of skin usually the dead tissue or the exfoliated tissue from the outer layers of the face. It's mostly done by acidticions and in a medispa it's somewhere in the middle between the least invasive and most invasive procedures. Patients seem to like it as it improves the skin and gives a glowing complexion. It will not remove some of those darker areas of skin but generally gives a nice healthy glow to the skin.
