What is the difference in exfoliating with AHAs and using one of the new microdermabrasion systems?
AHAs exfoliate the skin by working low in the stratum corneum, loosening the bonds that hold dead cells on the skin. This stimulates new cell growth, allowing fresh cells to surface without the risk of breaking down small capillaries in the skin and the harshness associated with microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a more aggressive treatment of the skin, yet it removes only the surface dead skin.
