Microdermabrasion Cost & Recovery
Microdermabrasion revitalizes dull skin, erases fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne and discoloration of the skin, and reduces large pores. It is a simple, straightforward, noninvasive procedure that can be done at home or in a medical office. Does this Spark an idea?

At-Home Cost
-
The least expensive method is to buy an at-home microdermabrasion system. They generally cost between $15 and $200, as of 2009, depending on kit contents and brand. The kits with a rotating hand-held device designed to massage the crystal cream into the skin are the most expensive.
Spa and Salon Costs
-
Going to a spa or salon can cost $75 to $200 for a single microdermabrasion treatment, as of 2009. Generally, several sessions are needed---up to 10 to 12---which often come as a package at a 10% to 15% discount.
-
Medical Office Costs
-
Going to a medical office for a treatment will cost the most as the sessions are performed by dermatologists and or surgeons. A single session can run $100 to $300 as of 2009, which does not include the initial consultation.
Home Recovery
-
Microdermabrasion requires virtually no recovery time. Within a few hours the redness will fade and you can return to work or other activities. It is important to follow certain skincare guidelines after treatment, though: Use a re-hydrating toner immediately, let it dry, apply a good moisturizer for several days after, use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight for a week.
Effects
-
Some people experience itchiness and redness of the skin after spa or medical treatments as these are more harsh then at-home treatments. Microdermabrasion is the safest way to rejuvenate the skin and the results last a long time.
