microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion treatments in a spa may cost as little as $50 or for a deep skin treatment in a board-certified dermatologist's office as much as a few thousand dollars.ﾠ Despite seemingly high costs, outpatient treatments have become extremely popular - nearly a million are performed annually.ﾠ The benefits of a professional's experience and equipment should be measured against the time and cost of home remedies, exfoliating creams and the aesthetic results.ﾠ As the procedures become more popular, competition has increased.ﾠ Some of this competition has taken the form of changing technology.ﾠ More spas are moving away from chemical peels and crystal micro abrasion techniques (use of a flow of high-speed aluminum oxide crystals) to diamond-tipped wand techniques.

Fast Facts

Growing familiarity and acceptance of the process has helped spas and led to more sophisticated home kits.ﾠ
Spas and home kits concentrate their marketing to customers seeking a more youthful appearance through tighter, smoother skin, leaving customers seeking scar removal to professional dermatologists.
