microderm abrasion

     

Microermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed with a wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come. The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia.

  • I'm gonna do an apricot scrub and then microderm abrasion. My face will either look like a 15 year or scar face. Wish me luck.
  • My mom just offered me use of her microderm abrasion thing to "clear things up." Apparently my skin's not up to par right now.
