What does the microdermabrasion procedure look like?
In microdermabrasion, a closed vacuum system delivers aluminum oxide crystals
through a tube and handpiece, creating a vacuum when the handpiece is against
the skin. The hand piece emits crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting
in a gentle abrasion or "polishing" process. The particle flow begins when the
handpiece is sealed against the skin; particles flow out of the accelerator
impacting the skin and, combined with skin debris, are suctioned back through
the handpiece and tubing into the waste canister. The particle flow and suctioning
stops once the seal is broken. Microdermabrasion may be combined with a light
chemical peel to increase the effect.
