Anti-wrinkle creams will work to a degree and are suitable for people who are nervous about using skin treatments.  Dermabrasion and laser resurfacing will work also but these require some out-patient procedures.  Microdermabrasion kits can be done in the privacy of a person’s home without the help of a stranger. Although it may be fun to have some friends over and have a facial party.

Microdermabrasion at home kits are safe and convenient. There is no need for an anesthesia.  There is no need to travel to a spa or a dermatologist.

Many microdermabrasion kits are only for professionals.  These kits have dangerous chemicals that could cause severe damage to the skin if used improperly.  Cosmetic companies have begun to cater to the general public by producing many microdermabrasion at home kits that are practically injury proof and easy to use.

A few home kits may have familiar manufacturers. Neutragena Micro Dermabrasion System, Oil of Olay Regenerist Micro Dermabrasion Kit and L’Oreal Refinish Micordermabrasion System are a few well known names that have microdermabrasion at home kits.  Even Mary Kay has a kit called MaryKay’s Timewise Microdermabrasion  set.  Many of these kits can be found wherever skincare products are sold locally.  Other kits can be purchased on the internet.

There are other facial treatments available.  There are chemical peels, Dermabrasion, Laser resurfacing, IPL therapy and Obagi Nuderm to name just a few.  All of these treatments need to be done in a clinic and often require repeated visits.

Microdermabrasion at home kits cost between $100 and $200.  Each kit has something unique about it.  Each kit has a small amount of either aluminum oxide, sodium bicarbonate or pearl micro crystals in it.  They also have a crystal cream and and applicator.

Microdermabrasion at home treatments are much less expensive than spa treatments.  A single spa session will cost about $200 a piece and can easily require eight to twelve sessions.  Microdermabrasion at home kits bring the spa to the home.
