Question:
What is the difference between a chemical peel and microdermabrasion?
Answer:
A chemical peel involves the use of an acid (most commonly fruit acids such as glycolic acid) whereas microdermabrasion involves the use of an abrasive handpiece. Both are used to remove superficial layers of the skin. Most commonly chemical peels and microdermabrasion are used by estheticians to either freshen facial skin or to remove acne whiteheads and blackheads.
