With peeling/microdermabrasion - should you seek these treatment from a dermatologist or beauty salon??

which is the most effective way - in terms of cost and results?With peeling/microdermabrasion - should you seek these treatment from a dermatologist or beauty salon??
Definitely a dermatologist... but why go to those lengths and expense. Do you use a good, natural skin care line? Test drive one or two to see what works for you before taking the leap to MDabrasion. I have been using the Arbonne RE9 anti-aging line and it's shaved years off my appearance.

Hi there,





There aren鈥檛 so many differences between the two options. The most important of them is the qualification of the practitioner. In a spa or beauty salon, the microdermabrasion treatment will be performed by a trained esthetician, whereas in a doctor鈥檚 office, the procedure will be performed by a qualified doctor or nurse.





The other thing that makes a difference between a medical and a spa treatment is the microdermabrasion machine used. Most of the times, machines designed for medical use are more powerful then the ones manufactured for beauty salons and aesthetic facilities. The micro crystals used are the same in both locations and so are most pre and post care products.





The results are quite the same in both types of locations: less visible scars, wrinkles and age spots, diminished stretch marks and improved overall appearance.





The cost of a medical microdermabrasion is a bit higher than if performed by a beautician in a spa. This is what I mean: the price of a single microdermabrasion treatment varies between $75 and $200 at beauty salons or spas. AND they may offer you discounts of 5-10% if you buy a package of 6-10 micro abrasion treatments. In a medical office, a single microdermabrasion session for your entire face costs somewhere between $100 and $300, not including the initial consultation (which may cost an additional $150).





My advice is this. Go to a medical facility for the initial consultation and the first two microdermabrasion sessions. It鈥檚 best to discuss your condition and expectations with a trained doctor and his staff. See how the procedure takes place, keep your eyes wide open for all details and note down the progress you make after these two sessions.


Then go to a beauty salon or a spa for the next two sessions. Compare the services, the way the staff is treating you and weigh in any other benefits they may offer you (online gift certificates, discounts for several sessions booked in advance, free parking, bonus massage minutes or product samples). If in the end results are similar and you think the two locations have more or less identical services, you may want to choose the spa, for the obvious reason that it is less expensive and it offers you additional bonuses.
I would go to a dermatologist to have either procedure done and depending on what your treating I would discuss it with a doctor as to what is the best treatment and how many treatments you will need to achieve the result you want.
Dermatologist,


And the cost is just depends on where you go to get it done.
