Micro dermabrasion is an aesthetic treatment used to combat different types of imperfections, such as wrinkles, skin spots, stretch marks and scars from acne, surgery, etc. The purpose of micro dermabrasion is to remove the most superficial layers of the skin, smoothing it and making it smoother and more compact.
