Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. A dermatologist provider uses a special instrument to gently exfoliate (sand away) the uppermost layer of your skin. You can get microdermabrasion on your face, neck, back, hands or chest.

Microdermabrasion removes the uppermost layer of skin. This can improve the look and feel of your skin, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Microdermabrasion can make the following skin conditions less noticeable:

Age spots.

Enlarged pores or blackheads.

Fine lines or wrinkles.

Mild scars, especially those from acne.

Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone.

Stretch marks.

Sun damage.
