Can I really do microdermabrasion at home?
A.) Microdermabrasion in a doctor’s office or a spa often involves the use of specialized (and expensive) equipment. But, complicated and expensive is not always better. Microdermabrasion machines generally involve a wand that blasts crystals onto the skin. The crystals abrade or rub away the top layer of the skin. Then, the crystals and the exfoliated skin cells are vacuumed back into the machine. There’s really nothing magical about this process. It is a simple procedure and one that can be mimicked without the expensive equipment. You can obtain similar (although arguably less aggressive) results in your own home. Rather than using just the crystals, you use the same crystals suspended in a cream. Our microdermabrasion products use medical grade aluminum oxide (corundum) crystals. You will pressure and friction from your fingertips rather than from the machine to rub the crystals across the skin where they will remove and pick up the dead skin cells.
