Microdermabrasion: What To Know About The Potential Downsides
By LESLIE LEON
Facial treatments are an important part of skincare, and microdermabrasion is a popular treatment that removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother, glowing skin.
While some people swear by it, others believe a proper skincare routine can solve similar issues, so let’s delve into the negative aspects of the procedure.
Microdermabrasion typically costs around $167 per session. To get consistent, long-lasting results, you’ll need to receive multiple treatments every few weeks.
This treatment cannot fix all of your skin problems, and while it can repair areas of mild hyperpigmentation and scarring, it won't improve skin elasticity or underlying issues.
This treatment is great if you’re looking to fix superficial issues like fine lines or small wrinkles, but it will not slow down the appearance of aging.
Microdermabrasion can be aggressive and potentially harmful to the skin, so extensive use of sunscreen and moisturizer is necessary after the treatment.
