Skin Care Tips, Notes & More

It's likely that you've heard about microdermabrasion as a highly effective skin care treatment. Maybe you've even considered having the procedure yourself. However, many people find the cost of multiple treatments prohibitive. A much better - and less expensive - alternative is a home microdermabrasion machine you can use yourself.

As with anything in life, if you can do something yourself as opposed to hiring it out to someone else you'll usually save money. Skin care is really the same. You'll find a number of devices you can use to buff away dead skin and reveal the fresh, new skin underneath for a fraction of what you'd spend on sessions performed by a specialist. All you need to do is find the solutions that actually work.

Microdermabrasion is a process that uses an abrasive material to exfoliate the skin. Generally these machines use tips containing either crystals or diamonds. While crystals tend to be the most commonly used, most experts agree that diamond microdermabrasion is superior for a couple of reasons. First, it does not produce the dust associated with the crystal process which can lead to safety issues in the event dust is inhaled. Further, as a result of the dust production this option is not suitable for use around the delicate eye area. I'm sure you already realize that the skin around the eyes is where we often need treatments the most.

A diamond tip, however, does not produce a large volume of dust particles and can be used around the eyes. This fact alone makes it more suitable for anti aging treatment purposes. Of course, for conditions such as acne scar removal, the treatment area will generally not be around the eyes so this isn't as much of an issue in those cases. But keep in mind, inhaled crystal dust still has the potential to cause problems.

Because diamond microdermabrasion is usually regarded as a better treatment, the cost is usually higher too. And until recently, if you wanted a home microdermabrasion machine with diamond technology, you were out of luck. Professional office visits were the only way to go and they were difficult to find outside of big cities.

It is the only system currently available on the market directly to consumers who want to take control of their own skin care regimen.
