Microdermabrasion

[essentialskin]

Hi! I also just opened an ebay store at :http://stores.ebay.com/Essential-Skincare although all the products aren't up yet as I literally just decided to open it a few days ago.

I hand make each product myself and I also configured all the various formulas so the best source of information would be to just email me or send me a message with any questions you might have and I'd be more than happy to help. Most of my work is done on the internet so I'm always available =)

I found that "brown sugar and lemon" does the same work plus is inexpensive and harmless, give it a try !!!

I was using the microdermabrasion peel from Skin Rx until I decided to have it done professionally. The peel I used can be found here...

I noticed improvement in my skin with the peel but i always wondered if i'd get better results having it done with a machine by a professional. I was hesitant because of the cost but finally took the plunge. I'm glad I have! My skin is now so much clearer and smoother. I still have some acne scars which may smooth out more with the rest of the treatments but more than likely not completely. I've only had 2 treatments and after the full six will evaluate it to see if I want to have something more aggressive for the left-over scars. Hopefully, I will be satisfied with the results. I'm crossing my fingers and toes.

Hi Little_Lisa,

I had 12 Microdermabrasion professional visits about 4 years ago. It improved my skin tone dramatically. I had/have a bunch of acne scars and it did even my skin out and diminish them a bit, but not drastically. During my visits, I also had botox for the area between my eyes (upper nose area) where the number 11 shows up and makes you look angry a lot, and for crows feet. And that with the visits for microdermabrasion helped even out those areas. You will see such a difference after your 6 visits, my acne cleared up as well. The aesthetician (sp) did extra strength (with the "straw") all over my skin because I could handle the "sting" and I think that's why it cleared my acne. She also did a full facial for me after every visit. She used Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and two or three creams to finish up, then I used this same regimen nightly for at least 6 Mos during my 12 visits. Keep in mind your acne scars will only be diminished, they will never go away unless you have a more intrusive surgery, or Thermage through a Dermatologist, which is another avenue I'd like to try. I heard it was very expensive though.

HTH,

Jen
