“As yet no difference but i will return”

Microdermabrasion: Worth it

Cost: $80
Pain: Mild
Microdermabrasion satisfaction: Fair2 Star Rating: Fair

i am 23 and read about the treament in a magazine. a previous review likened it to a cat licking your face and i would agree with this. it was slightly painful around the cheeks but certainly not enough to put me off going back.
my main reason for going was to reduce acne scars and as yet i can't see any difference but this was the first time so i will continue to go back to see if it works. My tip is; don't allow the therapist do do an extraction (of blackheads, whiteheads etc) on your face afterwards as this was very painful and i didn't feel that my skin had been prepped for this ( no steam, water was used ). In fact my skin now looks worse because of all of the squeezing she did. When I next go I will be asking for no extraction.

Oh no, I'm sure that was painful. My aesthetician cleans my face and extracts before microderm. And she gives me aloe & sunscreen for my face for the next few days.
