Whatever your age, everyone deserves to have bright, glowing skin. Of the available treatments, two skin care procedures are a head above the rest: microdermabrasion and photo facials. They’re non-invasive and offer dramatic results when combined. Below is a quick guide to what the treatments entail and by they’re the best. 

A Guide to Rejuvenating Skin Care

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a simple, non-invasive procedure that treats the outermost layer of skin. It uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the dry and dead skin cells that accumulate from exposure to damaging elements, such as the sun and pollution. It also encourages the lower layers of skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin for a long-lasting affect. In essence, microdermabrasion polishes the skin to reveal the healthy, younger-looking you.

What Is a Photo Facial?

A photo facial is a laser treatment that targets the superficial dermis that lies beneath the epidermis. It’s primarily used to boost collagen levels, though it also reduces brown spots, treats redness, and diminishes the appearance of spider veins and broken capillaries. It’s usually recommended to those who want to drastically improve the look of their skin without the cost and recovery time associated with plastic surgery. The treatment is 100% non-invasive and pain-free. It’s gentle yet effective, and medical research has proven it to be a more natural and safer alternative to facial cosmetic surgery.
