Why Choose Microabrasion?

Why did I choose microderm abrasion? Well, it has no downtime (it's called the "lunchtime procedure"), is similar to a facial massage (so not too aggressive) and the advertised results were good. So, 7 months and $1,200 later, here are the results:

Results After The First Treatment (first year)

After the first professional microdermabrasion treatment (12 abrasions scheduled 2 weeks apart) I noticed an overall improvement in skin complexion while the red spots and scars from my acne were definitely diminished. I followed with a maintenance abrasion 2 months afterwards.

Results After 3 Years

Over the following 2 years I had 2 micro dermabrasion treatments (10 sessions each) with maintenance, followed by 2 long breaks (5 months each) during which I used home microderm abrasion kits weekly for maintenance. In 2007, my microdermabrasion results include:

• No more age spots on the face, neck, decolette and arms
• Less visible lines around the mouth
• Red spots and acne scars on my cheeks, chin and forehead gone (I still have 2-3 deeper scars on my cheeks which are still visible but fading nicely)
• No more blemishes
• Stretch marks from my pregnancies diminished
• I look 5 years younger (or so I'm told)

Basically, microdermabrasion results can do any or all of the following: revitalizes dull skin, reduces enlarged pores, erases fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, treats hyperpigmentation (mild pigment irregularities), stretch marks and age spots.

Judging from personal experience, thousands of online reviews, discussions with dermatologists and tens of written articles and TV shows, cosmetic microderm abrasion is popular because it's:

• The least invasive dermatological procedure
• More affordable than surgical skin care treatments
• Painless
• Available as home micro dermabrasion systems and kits
• Has no side effects
• Effective on all skin types and colors (including sensitive skin and black skin)
• Does not need anesthesia when performed at a beauty salon or physician's office (unlike micro laser peel and dermabrasion)
• Gives the skin a healthy-looking glow
