What is the difference between chemical peels and Microdermabrasion?
Both treatments are forms of professional exfoliation that can accelerate your cell turnover rate. As you age your rate of epidermal cell turnover slows down and professional exfoliation can trigger your skin to regenerate faster. Microdermabrasion is a manual removal of excess dead epidermal tissue. Chemical peels use enzymes and acids to dissolve the excess epidermal cells. The two procedures can be done together to allow the chemical peel to penetrate more deeply into the epidermis.
