Does microdermabrasion get rid of clogged pores?
Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation technique that works by peeling off the dead skin cells layer, revealing the new skin layer underneath. In fact, clogged pores are caused by dead skin cells, dirt, bacteria or dust which accumulates on the stratum corneum layer of the skin. So basically, when microdermabrasion peels off the layer of dead skin cells, it clears out the clogged pores as well.
