Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation procedure commonly used to diminish wrinkles and scars, giving you smoother skin and a clearer complexion. Microdermabrasion also provides other benefits too, so it’s worth considering if you’re looking for non-invasive ways to improve your appearance.

Your skin will also be more sensitive to sun exposure, so it’s essential to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or more.
It’s also best to avoid anything that can make you perspire excessively for 24 hours, such as:
