What aspect of skin does microdermabrasion primarily target?

Microdermabrasion primarily targets skin texture by exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, more even surface. This mechanical exfoliation process helps to improve skin conditions such as uneven texture, rough patches, and minor scarring, leading to a more polished appearance.

While microdermabrasion can have secondary benefits on collagen production over time, its main focus is on enhancing the surface texture. This is achieved through the removal of the stratum corneum, which can also help stimulate the skin’s natural renewal processes, ultimately leading to a refined feel and look of the skin. By targeting the texture specifically, this treatment can also support other skin concerns but does not directly affect oil production or skin color.
