A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. With a light or medium peel, you may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results.

During microdermabrasion, the stratum corneum, or the top layer of skin, is sanded or ablated. This process is done using a diamond-tip abrasive tool that gently exfoliates the skin to stimulate skin remodeling. As a result, an increase in the production of collagen, a protein responsible for giving your skin its elasticity and firmness returns giving your skin a more youthful and radiant appearance.

As your skin heals, a new and improved epidermis forms to reduce or eliminate signs of aged skin, scars or other blemishes.
