Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion systems are becoming ever more popular as people seek out a way to save money on spa treatments. A system, or kit, that allows you to perform your own treatments at home is the ideal solution for those looking for spa quality beauty on a budget. There are many brands of microdermabrasion systems available these days, you simply have to choose which one you want.

The average microdermabrasion system is a kit that contains everything you need to get started. This would include a battery operated resurfacing tool that has several different heads for scrubbing, cleaning and soothing. It depends on the microdermabrasion system as to which heads are included, but you will most certainly get an applicator, which allows you to apply the peeling or exfoliating cream that is in the kit. Apart from that, the options vary. Some kits include a scrubbing brush to use once the peeling cream has done its job, removing the remaining skin layer, while others have a sponge head to apply the soothing gel or cream that will stimulate rapid regrowth of the skin cells.

Apart from the resurfacing tool, all microdermabrasion system kits will include a cream that removes the damaged skin. This can be a chemical peel or a chemical free version that uses enzymes. Some of these creams are similar to ones used in professional spas, complete with crystals of aluminum-oxide to get deep down cleansing.

You might want to select a microdermabrasion system that contains a soothing gel as well. This helps stimulate rapid cell growth and it also eases the discomfort that may result from vigorous scrubbing. A soothing gel or cream can also be purchased separately if it doesn’t come with your microdermabrasion system.

While microdermabrasion systems can be cheaper than the average spa treatment, the very good ones will run up to around $200, while the lower end prices bottom out around $15. The higher you pay, usually the more professional the kit. The $15 kits will smooth your skin, but tend not to have any deeper, lasting effects. A more expensive microdermabrasion system, on the other hand, is about as close as you can get to a real spa experience and will treat everything from acne to wrinkles.

A home microdermabrasion system is very handy for those who simply prefer to do their own spa treatments, as well as anyone on a budget. If you want the luxury of performing the treatment in your own home, a microdermabrasion system is perfect for you!
