Microdermabrasion: Consider Quality over Cost
Facial Plastic Surgeon
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.
Micodermabrasion costs vary depending on location
Micro-dermabrasion is a process where fine particles of abrasive material are applied to the skin with air pressure to remove a small portion of the superficial skin. The result is a temporary enhancement to the texture of the skin. The process can take from just a few minutes to nearly an hour depending on the skill of the practitioner and on the power of the equipment.
The price you are likely going to have to pay will be mostly dependent upon the area you live. In some areas almost anybody is allowed to do micro dermabrasion.
If you wish to get microdermabrasion, my best advice would be for you to get referrals from people you know who have already had the procedure done. Although generally harmless, microdermabrasion can cause significant redness of the face and may take a while to resolve.
Furthermore, if the equipment is not kept clean, it is possible to induce an infection during the treatment. This could result in a significant issue if not treated quickly.
