I like to call this tool my mini sander for my face. Don't worry its not that harsh but you do have to use it right. This is an at-home microdermabrasion tool. It works just like the professional units without the hassle or expenses. This handheld version uses the same aluminum oxide crystals as the ten thousand dollar machines found at your local spa. It will sluff off dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of sun spots and help minimize other signs of aging. The unit comes with different interchangeable heads for different skin types. Start off with the sensitive heads and move up from there. Each head lasts about 5 uses each (give or take). Start of with a freshly cleansed and toned face. When using the unit always keep it moving or else you will make a little "rug burn" mark on your face (I did that...lol, it went away in a couple days). After you have done your whole face follow with a thick layer of your favorite moisturizer or vitamin oil (I use both). My suggestion is to YouTube as many videos on the PMD as you can find until you get a real "feel for it" and watch the enclosed DVD too. Don't do the treatment more than once a week since your skin needs to rejuvenate.
What Is Microdermabrasion you ask?
Well microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of acne scars, fine wrinkles and sunspots by exfoliating the top layers of the skin. No chemicals or laser beams are used, only aluminum oxide micro crystals that gently sand your skin, leaving it smooth and fresh.
The unit costs $179 but if you buy it on www.spalook.com and wait for one of their $50 off $200 purchase coupons its a way better deal. I did that and ordered extra replacement heads (about $15 a set). The unit comes with a DVD and instructional booklet. READ and WATCH it.... it looks easy enough and it is once you get used to it but don't just use it right out of the box without a clear understanding of how the unit works. Happy Skin!!!!
