Microderm abrasion is a skin resurfacing procedure which began in Ancient Egypt. Egyptian women, wanting to remove minor skin flaws, used to peel the outermost skin layers by using fine sand and abrasive masks with alabaster particles. Since then, women have used hundreds of substances and methods to exfoliate, cleanse and naturally freshen and lighten their skin. In more recent times, dermabrasion, chemical peels (glycolic acid peel and alpha hydroxy acids, for example), laser resurfacing and active balms proved to be extremely effective, but they also showed potential for serious complications. As a result, dermatology experts became increasingly concerned with finding safe, non-invasive facial skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatments that actually work. In 1985, an Italian specialist performed the first microderm abrasion treatment, as we understand it today. People all over the world now treat skin problems with microderm abrasion because it has proved effective but, more importantly, because of its quick after-treatment recovery and low health risk. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported that microderm abrasion was the fourth most popular non-surgical dermatological procedure in the US in 2005, and the procedure has continued to grow year by year.
