They cause hindrance to the atmosphere, protecting deeper and thin tissues, which enable an even internal temperature and also avoid dehydration.Epidermal cells are connected together in two ways. Microscopic fibers called tonofilaments run between individual cells. This contributes to putting them together. There is extracellular which surrounds each cell acting as “glue” to further anchoring the cells together. With time, these cells are removed invisibly by the body. This is called exfoliation. Speeding up this procedure can instantly restore a more youthful glow to the skin and address other subtle signs of the aging process.

Microdermabrasion is a process which breaks the tonofilaments through exfoliation but chemical peels work to dissolve the ‘glue’ that keeps dead cells together on the surface of the skin. One of the most frequently asked questions is which procedure is better? The answer is both works well, but neither provides a full exfoliation when used alone.
