So I decided to try microdermabrasion!
BTW: I suggest not to use microdermabrasion if you have active pimples. I feel as if they would irritate the acne :/
If you're left with PIH, tho, it seems to be a good option!
I had my first one today. I got it done at my local spa with an esthetician I've known for years.
She first cleansed my face. Then, she went over my face with the tool several times and it felt strong, and concentrated it on the dark spots. It felt like a sandpaper/vaccuum combo, but it wasn't painful at all (I have a high pain threshold though, and my skin isnt very sensitive at all). There was some mild discomfort, though.
After doing so for 45-50 minutes, she then covered my face with a cooling mask and massaged it into my skin. After that, she cleansed my skin again...and now my skin feels incredibly soft and smooth!
I feel my face has a wonderful glow to it! And the spots, although she said it would take 2 weeks or so to see a clear improvement with the peeling, etc, look a bit lighter. My clogged pores are practically gone. My skin is soft and exfoliated all over.
I'm probably going to do it 2-3 more times, depending on how much I need! I'll keep you posted with pics soon
Loved it.
Cost me 70 each. Was a Holiday special!
