ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Microdermabrasion

Okay kiddo, imagine your skin is like a piece of paper. And sometimes, the paper gets dirty and rough. That's what happens to our skin when we go outside, play or do some activities. Microdermabrasion is like erasing the pencil marks on the paper, but instead of erasers, they use a special machine that gently scrubs and sucks out all the dirt and dead skin cells from your face.

First, they clean your face to make sure there is no more dirt or oil left. Then, they use the machine that has tiny crystals or diamonds on its tip which rubs against your skin to remove all the dead skin cells. It feels like little ants walking over your face, but it's not painful. The machine also has a suction that takes away all the dirt and dead skin cells so that your skin feels very smooth and fresh.

After the treatment, your skin might feel a little bit red, like when you blush or get sunburned. But don't worry, it goes away soon. You need to apply some sunscreen and avoid going out in the sun for a few days. And voila! You now have a shiny, brighter, and healthier-looking skin, just like a new paper!
