Microdermabrasion alters the skin using vacuum suction with a diamond-tipped nozzle. The treatment is comfortable and occurs in two phases: the exfoliation phase, where dead skin cells are removed, and the vacuum stimulation phase, which activates circulation and stimulates collagen and elastin production. The number of treatments is individual, but on average, 4 to 10 treatments, 1 to 2 times per week, are recommended depending on skin condition.
