What is microdermabrasion?

This kind of micro-scrub is strictly adapted to the type and needs of the skin. A professional technician makes sure the exfoliation does not go too deep into the skin.
How does microdermabrasion look like?
In one part of the skin – the epidermis – there are dead cells filled with protein, i.e. keratin, while in the dermis there are living cells that undergo continuous processes. The better and more efficient the processes, the better the skin is regenerated – it feels younger and firmer, less prone to wrinkles. During microdermabrasion, the layer of skin is exfoliated – the technician decides how deep the exfoliating process can go. For this reason, it is important that the process is performed by an experienced and knowledgeable person.
