About Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating technique in which dry and dead skin is smoothly sent off to seek its fortune by a controlled mechanical medium. Generally, the treatment is used to tackle fine lines, wrinkles and acne prone skin, blocked pores and black heads, and is said to be gentler than its slightly more intense older brother, dermabrasion.
