    Summary

    Microdermabrasion originated as a medical procedure for the treatment of burn victim scars, offering a way to smooth and improve skin texture. Due to its impressive cosmetic results, it was classified in the U.S. as a spa treatment by 1998. The procedure uses a fine jet of aluminum oxide crystals for gentle exfoliation while a vacuum removes the crystals and dead skin cells, promoting new skin production and boosting collagen and elastin growth. It effectively diminishes acne scars, fine lines, and improves skin texture and color, leaving the skin visibly enhanced, more supple, and vibrant.
