Microdermabrasion: worth it or a scam? Any cheaper options such as facials for my skin?

Hello mtc0121, Thank you for your question. Microdermabrasions are a great treatment for the skin, however, they are a maintenance treatment meaning, to maintain results you should continue treatments  

Thank you for your question. Yes microdermabrasion will help reduce superficial pigmentation, superficial acne scaring, and reduce the appearance of superficial fine lines. It also speeds up collagen production by promoting circulation because of the suction provided by the device. I would recommend using a mild glycolic peel after to speed up the process of your results followed by extractions. Although microdermabrasion will be highly beneficial to your current skin condition, it is certainly not a one treatment and done type of remedy. You will need to continue to get them at 3-4 weeks a part from each other to maintain optimum skin health. It will add up, but definitely will be worth every penny. 
Hope this helps, thank you again. 

Thank you for your question. Microdermabrasions are great treatments as they thoroughly exfoliate the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin making room for new cell turnover revealing a smoother, more even, healthy complexion. They are not, however, a one time only treatment. You do need to be consistent with the treatments in order to get the best results that will make the trips and money spent well worth it. I hope this helps. Best of luck to you!
