Microdermabrasion is the non-invasive technique that removes the surface layer of skin through scraping and suction. Treatments in a medical facility or spa can cost up to $250 per session. Fortunately several microdermabrasion systems have become available for home use. These at home systems can cost from $35 - $300 initially with additional costs for crystals and applicators.
The at home versions, are able to provide a skin brightening and resolve superficial minor skin irregularities. They are not however as aggressive as the medical grade microdermabrasion and results will not be as dramatic as the professional versions. At home microdermabrasion systems are ideal to purchase to assist with maintenance skin care when weekly treatments cannot be done due to monetary or time constraints.
Microdermabrasion systems generally have a skin care regime to go along with their procedures. Skin cleansing followed by moisturizer and sunscreen are needed to provide adequate results. Side effects for both at home and professional version can include redness, scabbing and or bruising, although the home treatments have a propensity to be gentler. |
