Microdermabrasion - in your doctor's office or at home?

Microdermabrasion makes your skin look and feel smoother and look fresher and brighter by exfoliating dead skin cells. It may also diminish the appearance of skin discolorations such as from acne and works best on fine lines and wrinkles, but it is not meant for deep lines.

Microdermabrasion is performed by using a small wand which expels tiny crystals onto the skin. It loosen dead skin cells which are then removed by a small vacuum. The whole process takes about 5-10 minutes. In the beginning, four or five treatments over a few months are recommended followed by monthly maintenance. Each microdermabrasion treatment costs from $100-$300.

As the microdermabrasion industry is not governed according to the law, if you are considering microdermabrasion, be careful when selecting a practitioner. Some side effects that have occurred include abrasions, scrapes and burns. Performed properly, microdermabrasion should be relatively painless.

Micro Dermabrasion at home, Less Expensive

A much less expensive alternative is an at-home microdermabrasion kit. They are milder than those in office procedure but they should not be used more than once a week and be sure to follow the directions exactly.
