What is Microdermabrasion? Is it worth it?

Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors. This process uses a diamond tip applicator to exfoliate and vacuum the skin surface. This process assists with treating fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, age spots, brown spots, enlarged pores, blackheads, acne (scars), dull looking complexion, uneven skin tone and sun damage. Microdermabrasion should be done once every four weeks, as the skin sheds and new cell production takes place. One treatment can provide you with noticeable results, however 6-12 treatments are recommended for significant results. Average cost for this treatment is $130. Approximately one week before the procedure you are to hold off on sunbathing, sunless tanning products and waxing. The procedure last at most one hour and common side effects are mild tenderness, minimal swelling and redness, which usually goes away by the next day.
