Exfoliation is important to the skin because it helps to slough off dead skin cells that dull our complexion.  With regular exfoliation through microdermabrasion your skin will not only reflect light better (making you have a nice, healthy glow), but it will also absorb product better such as anti-aging retinols.  With at home microdermabrasion kits, patients sometimes make the mistake of overdoing it, which can irritate the skin causing redness and making it difficult to use retinoids or other anti-aging products.  Our cosmetic dermatology professionals know just how much exfoliation is right for your skin, and we will keep you looking your best.
