Microdermabrasion is the most effective method currently used for skin care in treating skin that has been damaged by the sun, scarred by acne, affected by superficial pigmentation or has experienced wrinkles or fine lines, all without an invasive, surgical procedure. Microdermabrasion treatments has been deemed safe and effective for all skin colors and types. Sometimes known as the "Lunchtime Peel," this treatment can be done in the doctor's office or at a beauty spa, ranging between $90-150 per session, requiring approximately 10-12 sessions for best results. While this treatment was developed originally in Italy, it is now being used successfully worldwide by thousands and thousands of women for over 8 years. However, you can now purchase microdermabrasion at home versions that contains the same aluminum oxide crystals that are used by the professional, more costly systems.
