Microdermabrasion Facials

My first introduction to microdermabrasion was when I was trying to rid myself of a mild, but persistent case of adult acne. These treatments use very fine crystals to remove and then vacuum up the top layer of skin cells, getting rid of the blackheads and bacteria. I started with the professional treatments and when I started to see results I definitely wanted to keep going, especially when I saw that they did more for more skin than just treat the acne. I just didn’t want to continue to pay those professional prices.

This is when I discovered the advantages of home microdermabrasion kits – and not only to continue with my acne treatments. When the acne cleared up, I continued to use the home microdermabrasion system that I had purchased to give myself a biweekly microdermabrasion facial. That’s the great thing about these kits. With each thin layer of dead skin cells that is removed with a treatment, you also reduce the look of those fine lines and wrinkles and brown spots that start to show up as you get older. Another advantage is that as with a real facial at a spa, your skin feels so smooth afterwards and you can literally see the difference.

As far as a recommendation for a good home microdermabrasion system, I have to admit my first purchase was a failure. I tried to go inexpensive and it just didn’t give me the results I wanted. There are a few somewhat inexpensive kits out there, but my advice is to avoid “cheap”! I eventually ended up with a kit called Dermanew that had gotten great reviews and so far it has given me wonderful results.
