Microdermabrasion is also referred to as a “Power Peel” and works by spraying a stream of inert micro-crystals across the skin that creates an abrasive action. These crystals also have disinfecting and drying properties and help to clean the skin of infected lesions such as acne. The dead skin cells are lifted from the surface by this abrasion and are then whisked away by vacuum suction and new skin growth is subsequently stimulated.
