Microdermabrasion?

Hi,

My beauty therapist says I might benefit from a microdermabrasion. I am 24 and I have OK skin but there are very slight (and I mean slight) acne scars from when I was in my early teens).
Would microdermabrasion be beneficial to someone of my age?


yes, microdermabrasion is safe after you turn 18. itr will work nice on your acne scars and first fine lines, but you have to be patient, best results are obvious after the entire treatment, 8 sessions. first results, however, are visible after the first session.

good luck.

Makes your face nice and soft
I really love this product. My face looks so much better. I wasn't happy with my skin because it looked dull and uneven. This smooths it right out and makes your face baby soft. I use it twice a week and also use Olay's Definity line everyday.
Great microdermabrasion
I have used several Olay products over the years and this one just might be the best. It is a simple, two part process, resulting in extremely smooth skin. It only takes about two minutes total. Highly recommend it.
Does a great job!
It really works. Did it last night and I could feel the results immediately after. Leaves skin soft and supple, as well as smooth and bump free. Will definitely be doing it again, at least once a week.I don't see much difference with actual wrinkles and freckles, but then again I don't think its strong enough to actually erase wrinkles or blotches like a real microdermabrasion treatment would (in office, i.e, with a doctor). I definitely recommend it for people wanting smooth skin and to get rid of roughness and bumps.
A miracle kit
I already rated the regenerating serum and gave it five starts like this rating. Thi is an EXELLENT product, a must have. It does all what it promises and let me tell you something, I tried all types of products before (even organics)and nothing had worked for me before. The glow and tightness that this product gave me after rinsing it off and drying my face, reminded me of when I was 15 years old. Yes, I am that serious! This product is that good to my face, I highly recommend it.
From L'Oreal to This!
I used to use the L'Oreal Home Dermabrasion Kit with pretty good results, but when I ran out of it and went to re-order, I realized they no longer made it! After debating whether to get the Neutrogena microderm kit with the little gizmo or this, I went with Olay. Tried it for the first time... it smells GREAT. Made my face feel a little hot, but once I rinsed everything off (you will need a washcloth) I was amazed with my glowing, smooth skin! I'm 40 and just beginning to experience duller, drier skin, but this stuff really reveals all the goodness underneath (and better than the L'Oreal kit, mind you).

I look forward to using it a few more times and seeing what lies underneath!!!

Product works
Got this product and it worked well. I really see a difference in my skin.
Amazing product!
DermaNew Microdermabrasion Acne & Oily Clarifying System. 5 piece system.

The DermaNew Microdermabrasion system is a verry good product and I'm verry pleased whit it. My skin looks much better and smoother than before! I just love it!

Hafida.
at home facial spa experience
Unlike the first reviewers comments, I own this and like it. After 2 days of usage, I noticed the difference in my skin. The box says you should notice a difference in your appearance within 2 weeks. It is addicting to use because it feels so nice on the face, like a message melting away the stress from your day. Ahhh!

I do have oily skin and had a few deep zits that would take days to come out. With the use of this they came to the surface in 1 night and dried up and flaked off by the next morning. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is curious. I wouldn't say I had "acne", but I do have a continual eruption of zits on my face and back, and this seemed to cure it. The salicylic acid goes below the surface of the skin, killing the bacteria and drying up the oils.

I also have some large pores and discolorations on my face. Only time will tell if this gets rid of them. The box does claim that using this kit will diminish blemishes by resurfacing new skin. I've had this for 4 days now. I will post another comment/review once I've had it for a few months.

You do have to clean the application sponge right after usage, but that's no problem if your sanitary. I am a clean freak so I enjoy using and cleaning this. It's well worth the time and money.
Save Your Money
When describing this product, the term "microdermabrasion" is a definite overstatement. I was extremely unsatisfied with this product. The only thing this machine does is massage your face with its vibrating motion. I'm sure it removes a lot of dead surface skin cells using friction, but it doesn't do anything else. Not only that, but the crème they provide you is ineffective and has an unpleasant, manufactured smell.

I did not notice any positive changes in my face at all. There are two different "applicators" you can use. A teardrop foam one, or one with bristles. Both of these did not improve my skin. These are not professional tools, but clunky exfoliators, and a far cry from the kind of microdermabrasion treatment a dermatologist would provide.

The worst part is, if you want to be able to use the foam applicators more than once, without having them constantly loaded with bacteria, you need to buy a special foam cleaner liquid, which is just more money spent on a useless product.

This system is, sadly, a waste of money. It failed to diminish "post-breakout discoloration" and prevent "future breakouts." You would be better off saving your money for an effective, less expensive cleanser.

Customer Reviews

i love this scrub!!
I got a sample of this product and immediately wanted to buy it! Right after using it you can see a difference. it makes your skin smooth and glowing. I am using it because i have red marks left over from zits, which is why i started using the product. I have only used it a few times but i can already see a difference. Also this is a great price, and i didnt have to pay shipping. I definitely recommend it.
nice scrub
this reminds me of pumice soaps used to clean hands, and is very different than other scrubs made with seeds, etc. out there on the market. it does work great. if used on dry skin, it is a bit more "rough", but if you wet the skin first, it will be gentler on the face. i use it twice a week-no miracles in the fine lines, etc., but it does leave your face soft.
Microdermabrasion.
For the price you cannot beat it. It clears my complexion and makes my face smoother and brighter.
Derma e products are the BEST!
I have been using Derma e products for years. The microdermabrasion is super; my skin is hardly young.
orange with scratchy bits
This product is ok. It has a nice smell, but I don't see any difference in fine lines, dark spots, or skin softness. I think Neutrogena and Mary Kay sell a better product. Next time I will buy something else.

Don't waste your money
This product wouldn't take a charge right out of the box. Total waste of money. First thing that I have ever received from Amazon that was total junk.
Love it don't Know why people give it such a bad review
This brush is assume and i have to say am happy with my purchase.Now first off this is a great brush it may not be the clarisonic brush but what do u expect its way cheaper and its not as advance but for someone who doesn't want to shell out a a lot of money for one brush then this would be a great replacement for that.I have used it everyday since i got it and i have notice a great change in my skin.Also i see a lot of people complaining about how its rough on the skin but i guess that because there rubbing it too rough on there skin because i have very sensitive skin and i have had no problems with it on my skin.All I have to say this product is the best and it works wonders with my skincare products.
I love this brush!
This little brush is just awesome! I use it 2x daily with my usual cleanser and microdermabrasion srub once weekly, and it leaves my face beautifully clean and smooth. I've even got my husband using it! And he does not believe in "personal care". I did not want to pay over $100 for something like this but for around $40, I gave it a try and I'm glad I did.

The people who say "it rusts" obviously did not read the directions that say to dry it off after each use. Otherwise yes, the metal charger contacts will rust. Duh.


Love it! Works Wonders.
I was interested in the clairsonic microdermabrasion brush but couldn't justify paying that much to try a product. I am glad I purchased this very reasonably priced and capable alternative. I was looking for something to brighten my complexion and help manage oil and unclog pores on my nose. I started out using the brush once a day at night with my normal Bliss cleanser and I noticed a difference right away. The brush has two speeds and automatically times for you when you should move it to a different area of your face. Now after about three weeks of use I am having many positive comments from people who don't even know I am using something. Someone asked me what I am doing with my makeup because my face is so bright and vibrant looking. My answer was, I AM NOT WEARING MAKEUP! To be 42 years old and walk out with out any makeup says a lot about a product. I just use the bush and some SPF moisturizer and I am good. My pores are unclogged not only on the nose area but everywhere and are smaller and much less noticeable. I am very happy with the product. I charged it up one time and have been using that same charge this entire time. When it needs to be recharged I will make sure it is completely dry before putting it on the power stand. I also watched a youtube video of someone demoing the use of the brush and that was helpful to me. It is best to wet your face and put on the cleanser all over and then use the brush. Don't put the cleanser on the brush. I am now using the product on the gentle setting twice a day and it really works for me. My face is much cleaner using this product then from washing with cleanser alone. It comes with two brushes and I am still on the first brush. I will buy some replacements to have around. I've never used the clairsonic but this product works well for me at a much lower price. what more can you ask for?
Sensative But Works Well
For the Cost, Can't be beat. Suggestion, Do not get the unit wet and try to charge, it will break. I keep my unit charging in my bedroom and I take just the machine in to the bathroom and than I make for sure that the metal is completely dry before charging again. Why pay over a $100.00 more for another brand unit unless you just like spending more of your money so you can name drop, if you know what I mean. But, Of course. Whatever you choose Have Fun...

Dramatic results FAST
I'm 33... but have been dealing with lines around my mouth since college. Back then I tried Oil of Olay - just the lotion, nothing hard core - and it didn't do much. Nothing like being 21 and going to a club and feeling like everyone is staring at your old lady lines! I think it's partly genetics, I just happen to have the kind of cheek fat that migrates downwards young.

Since then I have tried this and that, thought I saw some progress, don't know if I really did. Lately I have started to really be bothered by lines on my forehead. I feel like it makes me look old and manly. And very recently I saw a picture of myself holding one of my girls and I about screamed. Yes I can blame bad lighting (I was in shadow) but still. I looked way too old and wrinkly for 33!!!

So I caved and bought this thing. I hemmed and hawed over getting the machine vs. trying the pads alone. I hemmed and hawed over getting THIS machine vs. the wave which is cheaper and seems like it will take the same refills. But the Wave only uses one battery whereas this takes 2 so I can only assume this is more powerful - and I need power.

After one use, I thought I saw a difference. After two, I KNOW I am seeing a difference. My forehead lines are now more in line with what other people my age have - I stare at facial lines when I talk to people, I try not to, but I can't help it! My smile lines seem a little better but it's hard to tell... I've gained some weight recently which I think might be plumping them up.

I was a little surprised that this thing just vibrates intensely, I thought it spun like a Crest toothbrush. Seems to work well though!

I know NOTHING is going to get rid of all the lines and I am OK with that. I would just like to look my age and not feel 10 years older.

I can't wait for the 3rd use to see how this goes. I really think it's made a huge difference. It's a little pricey, but nothing compared to more drastic measures like restalyne or botox.

One thing I have learned is to start at the bottom of your face and do the forehead last - as it does tend to slowly drip into the eyes. Doing the forehead last, you don't have to stop and mop up before moving on.
Great Stuff!
I love this. When I want to look fresh and glowy, I use this and even if I only use it very quickly, it makes me look better and makes my skin a smooth pallet for my make-up. In fact, although I am addicted to make-up, I can actually go without it after I use this skin rejuvenator. Twice I got a bit too enthusiastic and overdid it. It kind of skinned my face in a couple of places. Not nice. So I've become more conscious using it. I had a few discolored spots and they were gone after just one use. I've been using it for quite a while. This is my 2nd, maybe even 3rd purchase of it. I'd hate to be without it in my arsenal.
Great product
This is just what I wanted. It's super easy to use, no mess at all, I do it in no time (it says 2 min/area), it has 2 power levels and in my opinion the higher level is gentle enough to be comfortable, and best of all it leaves my skin with a really awesome feeling (clean and smooth)Oh, and the price is great for this fantastic product. I highly recommend it.
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator Puffs Refills, 24-Count Puffs.
Awesome Product!!
I have suffered from acne since i was 15 and it has taken a toll on my face therefore when i was planning my wedding i knew i had to do something to improve the appearance of my skin and provide me with a glow. I couldn't afford a facial and so after a lot of researching and reading reviews on this product i decided to try it out and i saw a difference in my skin texture just after a week. Am VERY impressed with this product, it does exactly what the makers say it does and i would recommend this product to anyone who can't afford a facial but wants smooth glowing skin.
Save Your Money
This overpriced gadget is totally unnecessary. I get comparable results at a far cheaper price with a buff pad, facial scrub, or an exfoliant. It's time consuming to use, is noisy, and the pads don't always stay on. If you don't apply them to the unit in the exact and precise manner as described, they'll slip off. You only get a small supply of pads in the kit, so the customer must make additional purchases. The pads are quite expensive, and there are no generic pads available. I paid $34.95 for the gadget and $20 more for the pads. Far too expensive for what it does.

It is not a quick process when you consider the time it takes to get the pad on and then applying the device in a circular motion to different sections of the face for minutes at a time. My arm got tired. And the noisy battery-operated unit was annoying. Instructions on the box make it sound like it's easy to use and affordable. You have to buy the item and get more complete instructions inside the box to know how it works. After you try it, you will ask yourself "why?"

I tried to return it to the store, but they wouldn't take it back because it had been used.


The Numerous Advantage of Microdermabrasion

There are many advantages to having a microdermabrasion treatment. If you are suspicious of those fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and even stretch marks, then check Out this treatment. This treatment is surprisingly affordable and effective. Many of us can afford expensive spas and laser resurfacing, and many of us can not even afford to buy facial cleansers. It is definitely good news to know that there are low cost procedures out there for the budget.

If you are wondering, what is microdermabrasion, you might think now. It is incredibly basic, actually.Its basically a procedure that removes the top layer of skin exposing and leaving the skin fresh and further behind. Although it may sound harsh, it is not. This procedure requires no anesthesia, such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels do. It does not take long either. It would take about thirty minutes. Thus, in just half an hour you can be on the rest of your day. For other serious skin problems, it may take several sessions, but side effects are minimal as saying, peels.Reddening chemical skin may be experienced for a day or less.With its minimal side effects and no recovery time, who would not want that procedure done?...

JANE Earnshaw said there is little she does not know about the beauty therapy which is hardly surprising, since it has been in business for nearly two decades.

The former college lecturer and owner of the salon has its own initial training 19 years ago and has been teaching others for 12. It has been a tutor at Barnsley College, Kirklees College and Selby College.

In November, she opened a new salon and training school in Shepley - The Bridge House Beauty Spa & Training Academy Awards - to teach newcomers to the industry and update the skills of therapists working with accelerated courses.
