One of the most talked about skincare treatments available today is microdermabrasion. One has read in magazines, a number of times, of famous folk talking about the treatment and what wonders it has done for their complexion. Not that long ago the only places where where you could experience the treatment was in clinics and beauty spas, salons.

A few basics of micro-dermabrasion types

The first micro-dermabrasion treatments were performed using incredibly fine abrasive medical grade crystals. In the last decade or so it is becoming increasingly common to use a hand tool with a rough surfaced, or a diamond tipped, head. In crystal micro-dermabrasion, the minute crystals are blasted onto the skins surface exfoliating it rather aggressively. The degree of exfoliation occurring when this treatment is used is incredibly greater than is possible by using any of the many exfoliating creams currently on the market.

The pros and cons of pro micro-dermabrasion treatments

It is true to say that, with all procedures performed in professional clinics and beauty spas, salons, a pro micro-dermabrasion treatment can be cost prohibitive. It works out more cost prohibitive than one thinks because more than one treatment is needed. Most beauty salons, spas and clinics recommend a block of ten sessions. The main advantage to having a pro treatment is the systems used are more powerful and so produce a better result.

The pros and cons of home microdermabrasion kits

The microdermabrasion at home kits have become incredibly popular because they not very costly purchasebuy. The microdermabrasion at home machines are usually much milder, which, in the long term may mean you need to repeat the process more often before any results are visible. A common disgruntle about the home treatments are irritation and slight inflammation (usually caused by over use and not following the instructions).

Now enter the Crystalift Microdermabrasion At Home which is an "at home micro-dermabrasion kit" but it uniquely uses a machine which uses the exact same techniques as the pro micro-dermabrasion machines, in that it uses crystals and blasts them onto the face. All other at home microdermabrasion kits offer a skin care treatment that is simply not comparable.

In truth the Crystalift At Home Microdermabrasion Machine is the only Real at home microdermabrasion machine available.

Conclusions

Which ever decision you chose to take, either the professional microdermabrasion treatment or the home kit, it is entirely down to personal choice. There are folk who combine both types of treatment, and we think this is the best way to go especially if you choose to purchase the Crystalift Microdermabrasion At Home which is commonly available for less than $200 (the price of a few professional treatments so it could pay for itself in a very short space of time!).
