A microdermabrasion treatment session alone will exfoliate and remove dead skin cells to reveal a clean, glowing complexion. It will unblock pores and help get rid of blemishes, blackheads and dry skin. Microdermabrasion can be performed weekly or up to every eight weeks, depending on skin tolerance and desired cosmetic effects. Many people choose to start with three-session weekly treatments and then switch to a monthly maintenance regimen.
The number of treatments you'll need depends entirely on what your ultimate goal is. As a unique spa treatment, one session will leave your skin looking glowing and feeling smooth like butter. These homemade microdermabrasion kits often can't provide the depth of skin abrasion or remove dead skin cells by vacuuming them like professional microdermabrasion. However, there's one popular suction device you can get at Ulta or Amazon, the PMD Classic microdermabrasion machine.
Most home microdermabrasion machines and kits are generally weaker than professional in-office treatments. Microdermabrasion is a very safe procedure for most people (although there are some people who shouldn't have microdermabrasion treatment). You can find microdermabrasion and exfoliating machines online or at cosmetic stores.
