One of the most talked about skincare treatments practiced today is microdermabrasion. One has read in magazines, many times, of celebrities praising the treatment and what miracles it has done to their skin. Not that long ago the only places where where you could experience the treatment was in beauty spas or salons and clinics.

The first micro-dermabrasion procedures were performed using incredibly fine abrasive medical grade crystals. In the last ten years or so it is becoming increasingly common to use a hand tool with a diamond tipped or rough surfaced, head. With crystal micro-dermabrasion, the abrasive crystals are blasted onto the skins surface exfoliating it rather aggressively. The amount of exfoliation which occurs when this treatment is used is far greater than is possible by using any of the many exfoliating creams currently available to purchase.

It is true to say that, with all procedures carried out in professional clinics and beauty spas or salons, a professional microdermabrasion treatment can be costly. It works out more pricey than one thinks because more than one treatment is required. Most clinics and beauty salons, spas recommend around ten sessions. The main advantage to having a professional treatment is the equipment used are more powerful and so produce a better result.

The at home microdermabrasion kits have become rather popular because they do not cost as much to buy. Home microdermabrasion kits are often much milder, which, in the long run might mean you need to repeat the process more often before any results are visible. A common complaint concerning the at home treatments are slight inflammation and irritation (commonly resulting from over use and not following the instructions).

Now enter the Crystalift Skin Resurfacing Microdermabrasion Machine which is an “at home microderm kit” but it uniquely uses a machine which uses the exact same techniques as the pro microdermabrasion 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 Microdermabrasion At Home Machine is the only Real at home microdermabrasion machine available.

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