INTRODUCTION WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION? Microdermabrasion is a simple and effective form of exfoliation. It is a mechanical exfoliation that uses aluminum oxide crystals to remove the outer layer of dead or damaged skin cells, revealing a more youth- ful skin. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve the overall texture, tone and clarity of the skin while restoring the skin’s elasticity.

Silver Series CHAPTER 2 PERFORMING A MICRODERMABRASION TREATMENT Microdermabrasion removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. It thickens the outer layer, or epider- mis, of the skin and increases the production of new skin cells, collagen and elastin. Microdermabrasion leaves the skin smooth and clean with mild redness (erythema).
