microdermabrasion

Crystal skin polishing

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic skin treatment that uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells.

The procedure aims to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and diminish minor scars or sun damage: She gets microdermabrasion every few months to keep her skin smooth.

Less aggressive than chemical peels or laser treatments.
