Microdermabrasion

I use the Mary Kay microdermabrasion at home. I love love love it! I use it twice a week and it's WONDERFUL! The microdermabrasion set has over 30 applications, which makes it a great self-applied pampering product at a great price.
I'd love to be able to get together with you so you can try it for free! (I'm local to you so it wouldn't take very long.) Email me at ____@____.com and we can schedule a no-obligation appointment.
Have a great day!

I would at least try BeautiControl Products first.....they cost considerbly less and from what I know most have been pleased with the results. You could try it and if you didn't like it .....then go for it elsewhere.

Microdermabrasion did nothing for me. I have been gettting Vitalize peels by Skinmedica and they are amazing! They are a light retinoic acid peel that does not hurt at all. Gets rid of the fine lines and sun damage plus red spots and such. Really no down time either-about 4-5 days after your skin peels just like a sunburn would-I just plan to stay home for that day. They cost $145 per peel.

I work in a medical spa that offers microdermabrasion and have had it several times myself. We use a diamond tip and charge $100 per 1 hour visit.
In terms of the results you can expect, microdermabrasion will remove the layer of dead skin cells from you face, revealing fresh new skin. It will improve your appearace for a period, usually not more than a few days. It can sometimes soften the appearance of fine lines, but the results are not drastic and not long-lasting. Microderm is often used in conjunction with a mild chemical peel, which can give better results. Overall it is really something you either have to do regularly or you may just want to do for special occasions. It will freshen your face, it just won't last all that long, but I would suggest trying it to see what you think.
Good luck!

I had it done once and other than the few hours following the procedure, felt nothing different about my skin. I know they suggest at leasst a 6 course treatment, which I did not do. I'm not sure about dermabrasion helping with the lines, maybe botox for them, but I am not a fan of injecting synthetics into my body.

Try this for an at home treatment - you may be surprised how much it helps with your overall skintone and feel:

1/2 fresh lemon, de-seeded
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 paper towel or facial round

Fold the paper towel several times till the square is about the size of your palm. Squeeze lemon juice on it till it is wet. Sprinkle the sugar on top of that. Squeeze lemon on it again - you cannot get too much of the juice.

Wet your clean face with warm water. Then using the paper towel/sugar/juice, rub all over your face in little circles for several minutes. Don't forget your hairline and jawline. (Keep out of the eyes, and be careful around your undereye since that is your thinnest skin area.)

Rinse with warm water and moisturize immediately afterward.

This is like a quick chemical peel / dermabrasion you can do at home. The lemon is full of vitamins and antioxidants that you skin loves. The sugar is like the diamond tip and exfoliates for you. It's cheap, easy, organic, and you'll love the way your skin feels afterward. Plus, you can do it as often as you like, so long as your skin does not get irritated. ...and a bonus? It tastes like lemonade.

My best friend had a microdermabrasion and she loved it. She had bad acne and it helped alot with that and with blackheads. She said her face felt so soft and smooth. She actually started rubbing her face on me, she's a silly person. I don't know about the diamond tip. I believe it costed her around $75 or so.

I LOVE Mary Kay's Microdermabrasion set. It's one of those that YOU can control the results you get, how often, and is cheaper than most brands and MUCH cheaper than a dermatologist's visit. I'll be more than happy to send you a sample if you're interested, just PM me :)
