What is it?
Microdermabrasion is a light mechanical exfoliation where a slightly abrasive diamond tip is attached to a vacuum suction tube. It’s then used to gently scrub off any debris, oils and dead skin sitting on the surface of the skin. Great treatment to de-puff the skin and help with lymphatic drainage.
