What Is California Peel / Microdermabrasion?

Plastic Surgery Questions Answered by Raleigh Board Certifie...
With the California Peel, the skin is lifted by a precision handpiece and gently abraded by a blast of fine aluminum oxide crystals. The handpiece gradually glides across the skin's surface, removing the dead outer layer of skin and erasing fine lines and blemishes to uncover the smoother, younger-looking skin underneath. The California Peel is effective on all colors of skin. The simple process is virtually pain-free and can be performed without any anesthesia in most patients.

What is a chemical peel?

Skin Care FAQ
The purpose of a chemical peel is to remove the layers of dead skin, revealing fresh skin underneath. The body creates new cells to replace the ones that the peel removes. Many medical specialists believe that new collagen is also generated following the peel procedure. In a chemical peel, we apply an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to cleansed skin. The acid is left on for a short time (this depends on the condition of the skin, your tolerance level, etc).
