Microdermabrasion and Acne Scars Part 4

What is the cost of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is strictly considered to be a cosmetic procedure. It is not covered by Medicare or any other health insurance plan. The cost of a single session of treatment may range anywhere from $40-$75.

How many sessions does one require?


The results of Microdermabrasion usually last a few hours. To maintain the cosmetic benefit, one needs to have future treatments. In general, one may require 10-20 treatments a year. For those individuals who are skeptical about my review, go and get one treatment to determine what it actually does. Never enroll for multiple sessions. Doctors never refund money even when treatments do not work

Who does Microdermabrasion?


The procedure today is performed by a number of health care professions. There are also many non health care professionals who perform Microdermabrasion. For your safety and decent results, it is best to seek a health care professional who is trained in the use of these devices. While complications are rare, they can occur. Remember acne scars can be very disfiguring- the last thing you want is to select a corner store for a cheap price and then end up with a worse result.

Final point

Please consumers, read about any procedure that you are going to undertake. Do not fall for the marketing hype in cosmetic medicine. There are charlatans out in the field of cosmetics who can shame Bernie Madoff. Spend your money wisely, ask questions, get referrals, and always read testimonials on cyberspace. There are a few good treatments in cosmetic medicine; unfortunately, Microdermabrasion is not one of them.
