Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

Well-done microdermabrasion treatments performed by qualified medical aestheticians can cost between $100 to $150. Depending on your skin condition, adding very light lactic peel on top of microdermabrasion can enhance the results. Keep in mind that not everyone is a good candidate for this treatement. Couperose skin (telegectasia), and Rosacea skin should avoid microdermabrasion and possibly consider other light peels instead. Seek professional advise before you undergo this procedure.

Microdermabrasion provides a refreshed look by removing part of the top layer of skin (stratum corneum).  This is accomplished by using an abrasive material.  There are a number of materials that may be used to accomplish this.  Some also use ultrasound, others will introduce vitamins and/or minerals on the skin at the time of the procedure. 
Prices will vary widely, from $50 to $500.  It depends on the area in which the procedure is performed and who performs it.  Many people think this is a procedure in which no harm can be done.  In the wrong hands, one can suffer damage including scars, burns, and altered pigmentation. 
Check the credentials and experience of the individual performing the procedure.  Ask about sterile technique to minimize the risk of disease transmission.  If it is not a physician who is performing the procedure, ask about medical supervision and the availability of a licensed, credentialed, and experienced physician with training in an appropriate specialty.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most recent skin-care techniques which is being advanced as a light procedure that requires up to 3 to 5 treatments for visible improvement. It is an effective alternative to more invasive procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels and Botox injections. Recently, more and more men are trying it, instead of pursuing cosmetic surgery. It is $125 per treatment.

The cost of a
microdermabrasion can vary based on a number of factors and below is an outline
of how each one can impact your price. The price can range anywhere from as low
as $80 to as high as $500 but the average price would fall between $100 to
$150.  Your geographical location

Areas being treated (example, face, hands, chest, arms or back)

Technician’s expertise

Additional treatments added

Type of facility where the treatment is performed

Single treatment vs. package

Microdermabrasion
is a safe, non-invasive exfoliation method that removes and vacuums dead skin
cells from the skin revealing fresh, healthy skin.  Softer,
smoother skin will be visible after one treatment and results will continue to
advance after additional treatments. 
There is not any irritation, redness or downtime associated with
microdermabrasion and normal activities can be returned to immediately after
treatment.

Where you live
will be a key factor that determines how much your microdermabrasion will cost.
The price will generally run higher in major metropolitan areas due to the increased
cost of overhead in these areas.

The area(s) that microdermabrasion being
performed will play a role in the overall price.  The face is the most common area for
microdermabrasion but other areas such as the hands, neck, chest, back and arms
are increasing becoming more popular.

The expertise of the technician will
also affect the price of your microdermabrasion.  Aestheticians and nurses with more experience and
expertise may charge more due their specialized training. Also, the type of
facility will influence the price of treatment. 
For example, the cost may be higher at a high end medical spa that
offers a luxury experience. 
Microdermabrasion is an excellent stand alone treatment as well as being
utilized in conjunction with other procedures such as dermaplaning, chemical
peels and other facial treatments to achieve optimal results. When other
treatments are performed in conjunction with the microdermabrasion there will
be a price increase for the additional services.

Most
facilities offer pricing for both a single microdermabrasion treatment as well
as a package.  The package will always
provide a financial savings and the skin will reap the most benefits when with
a series of at least three treatments 4 to 5 weeks apart.
