Spas and medical centers use exact same method, which basically removes the stratum corneum, which your body will replace with new and healthy cells. That what causes swelling and redness for few hours.

It removes sun damage, blemishes and fine lines. Also, it makes creams and lotions more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin. If you can't afford the medical procedure, there are plenty of at home Microdermabrasion options that promised to do magic to your skin.
