I'm a licensed esthetician also and I've used microdermabrasion on clients for years with excellent results. I recommend micro derming first and then a peel depending on the client's skin type and condition followed by a moisturizing mask. I do not charge a lot because I want my clients to be able to afford this effective treatment and it costs me very little to do.
May I ask you a question. I'm thinking to buy Trophy Skin MicrodermMD or RejuvadermMD. Comparing, they are the same, just one is a bit smaller and the price is a lower. Another thing is, before I got HydraFacial (don't know if that's the same) and my esthetician used many different products before and after. Are they not necessary ? Thanks if you can answer. And if not, it's fine, I understand :) Thanks
I suffered from sensitive/patchy skin for years and I did microdermabrasion and it worked excellently for me. Maybe it doesn’t work on some people but worked amazingly on me
I just had my first Microdermabrasion yesterday. My skin is absolutely glowing today and the dark brown spot on my forehead is barely noticeable now. My crows feet are much better too. To compare Microdermabrasion to a sponge is wrong on so many levels. Why the heck would you tell people to scrape their face with a sponge?
Seraphim Skin Care I've had about 5 more Microdermabrasions since my first comment. My skin is glowing. I haven't felt this good about my skin in a long time. I do work hard for my money but this has definitely been worth spending my money on.
IM SO GLAD I CAME UPON THIS VIDEO BASHING MICRODERMABRASION BC IT HAS 500 reviews on it in the comments saying how amazing it’s been for their skin!!! you can’t find reviews of this volume anywhere else😂
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! A lot of people don't understand the dangers of this treatment... Thanks for sharing, I can finally share this with my clients ♥
Seraphim Skin Care I don't think Jas k Judge meant it as an insult. People tell me that I look like my sister but I don't think of it as looking like a woman. I just think that we have similar features. Anyways, you are beautiful and don't ever think otherwise.
I have done 8,000 treatments on clients with outstanding results, skin smooth to the touch , glowing. Clients smiling from ear to ear and me as well. A sponge scratcher...what? that is an unheard of analogy. It is really to bad you don't realize the miracles of Microderm.
I wouldn't say that microdermabrasion is a scam. It is great as a buff and polish for the skin and leaves your skin incredibly soft, smooth and radiant for only about 1-2weeks. I totally recommend it as a pick me up before an event or special occasion. There are definitely a lot more effective treatments such as micro needling and chemical peels that give you better results. But what is appealing about micros are that it is non invasive, chemical free and it's quick and easy :)
I disagree, I am 58 years old & I got my microdermabrasion & oh boy my husband even notice how my skin looked:) & all my friends complemented saying by skin looks younger, brighter, even toned, less line 👍🏼 it's been two months & today I am going for another micro treatment 😊 can't wait.
I agree. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels both do basically the same thing for your skin, and that is to exfoliate the skin. They remove the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin and both stimulate faster cell turnover to keep your skin fresher. Microdermabrasion is a mechanical means of exfoliation, that is, it uses a scrubbing action to remove the dead skin cells, while the chemical peel penetrates and exfoliates the skin chemically.
Totally agreed with you , have test it couples of min and my skin is soft, smooth . Kept opening our eyes for scammers, will keep on using it from today , am dome with facial scammers 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
This women does not know what she is talking about! For one thing...microdermabrassion equipment does NOT spit anything onto the face. Microdermabrassion DOES NOT hurt...and, it is NOTHING like using an old scrum brush on your face. She is obviously just trying to promote her CHEMICAL peal services.
Ummmmm I can testify that microdermabrasion is amazing. I’ve been doing this since I was 26 and people can barely believe I’m 40. It plumps and helps the skin even out. It has built collagen for me. So I’m not sure what she’s talking about.
OMG! I do not believe you! My skin is glowing and beautiful, as I have been doing microdermabrasion. It does NOT hurt (as you say) and I get compliments on my skin all the time since I have been doing microdermabrasion. After I microdermabrasion I use my serum. I love dermabrasion!!!
She is a hater because she said they was the first skin care place in Atlanta,now everybody else is probably going everywhere else,microdermabrasion does work and it is a soothing and relaxing and it does not hurt,I love it and it works wonders for my skin, I only do it four times in the year towards the fall because it can irritate my skin in the summer in the heat, I am a brown skin African American woman God bless.💖💖💖💖💖
It depends on "WHO" is doing the microderm. I've had it done for five years, and one person didn't use enough hand stroke so I didn't see a difference. But when I asked for another tech, she used great hand stroke and turned up the number. My face felt like a baby, my dark acne bumps lightened up drastically, and my wrinkles flattened out considerally. A lot of the bacteria that had made a pocket for breakout, went away. My skin was clear and glowy. So if you're not getting good results and see no difference, try another tech. Not all technicians are the same.
If you're so against it and you were trying to promote your spa then why don't you recommend something you do feel makes a difference? The Micro dermabrasion's I get are with salicylic and glycolic acid applied and my skin was flawless in the days afterwards. I had never had make up go on so smoothly and completely change the texture of my skin. Of course it is not a one time fix and I had to go on prescription pharmaceutical products and maintenance to continue to improve but I just don't understand why you don't suggest what you do you think works I found it odd
I disagree..I've been doing microderm since 2012 and have customers that DO see a difference in their skin..i treat alot of ethnic skin..mostly Hispanic and Asian with multiple skin issues that love this treatment and find it relaxing (I do diamond tip microderm..not crystal)..so she's entitled to her OPINION
I do diamond microdermabrasion. and I was told to charge quite a lot..and to be honest I would nit charge these huge amounts it's is an exfoliation treatment pure and simple it takes 15 minutes cost pennies to do..I offer this with a steam then the derm then a mask. I have seen difference in the skin. and I have photo documented it too. but yes I agree the prices charged by some is a rip off.
Thank you. Truly appreciate your honesty. I agree with your comments. I have had this procedure done several time with no significant difference. I get a glow, but no changes in pigmentation or wrinkles. I prefer the chemical peels over microderm, vitamin c, retinoids, filler and botox. That's what really works.
Seraphim Skin Care, Thank you for the info. It makes sense what you are saying. Microdermabrasion is just sanding of the skin. You are a brave woman for just telling us what happens behind close doors at some of these businesses, and I thank you for that. I work in a dental office where we charge 21 dollars for 2 ounces of Chlorhexidine irrigation after dental cleanings. Chlorexidine is an excellent antimicrobial that people can get it with a prescription at a cheaper price at the pharmacy (between 4-12 dollars for a 16 oz bottle), but we sell it as an irrigation. Scientific studies by the Journal of the American Dental Association state that is good as a mouthwash, but there is no benefit as an irrigation. Well, guess what: we charge it anyway.
Um, you look exactly the same after a facial and mild peel also, but that doesn't mean you're not getting the benefits of the treatment. As an esthetician I can tell you that a microdermabrasion is not just like raking a 49 cent kitchen sponge over your face, and as as a professional it's irresponsible for you to make that claim. As your video is misleading, deceptive, and outright incorrect, I would like to make the viewers aware of the inconsistencies of your claims. I perform microderm infusion treatments and show my clients the debris that was lifted from their skin in the output container. Their skin glows from the exfoliation of old dead skin cells and in the case of the infusion method, the serum chosen for their skin type/concerns during the analysis refreshes, hydrates, brightens, and/or clears debris from pores. I have NEVER worn goggles, nor do my clients require goggles for this treatment. It would make complete sense to perform a peel, then microdermabrasion, and that is one of the protocols I recommend to some of my clients. The salicylic acid (or whichever acid used) helps to loosen the dead skin cells which the microdermabrasion then sloughs away. Skin care and treatments are cumulative, rarely does any one treatment provide instantaneous results. I see you searching for the other horrible things a microdermabrasion treatment can do to skin aside from breaking capillaries and breaking down collagen. Any esthetician worth her license would be able to determine whether a client is a good candidate for ANY treatment, and any skin care/product routine for that matter. I have had numerous microderm treatments and I can tell you that it doesn't 'hurt'. If you were to use suction that is too aggressive or the wrong granularity or grit of course it will be painful. For that matter, a 49 cent sponge would be painful if used incorrectly on the face or anywhere on the body. Even YOUR OWN product line states that you can achieve glowing skin "if used correctly". Hmm, I see a theme here. I don't understand what you intent was for this video, but I say to the public, please do your research on the 'expert' you're listening to and the red flag warnings being given. I can debunk practically every claim made in this video, and I find it ironic that the presenter is angry about being lied to about skin care products and services.
Thank you cause I was going to purchase the machine and it lead me to this video which is kind of weird...I mean if they're trying to sell a product, why would they allow this video to be seen? I'm so confused now on whether I should even get it or not now?!
She probably either can't invest or is too frugal to invest in one so she's talking shit on micro. It took me awhile to invest in one and it doesn't take a genuis to know it works. Clients who have got it love it. It was enough for me to get it after high demand even though I favor peels over it or find it amazing to pair with peels. It does serve a purpose.
Thank you so very much for your candid truthful statements on microderm abrasion.. I have had several treatments for hundreds of dollars and I have yet to see a difference .. perhaps the 49 cent sponge would do me well.. I must say tho it is pleasant to have the facial.
Well I was. Very happy with my microdermasion no glycol acid .my acne scars gone .and pores reduced .plus I do microdermasion at home with the pmd pro for over two years and I love it .it truly keeps my skin glowing . well to each their own
I had only twice microdermabrasions so far, and I totally understand what you are saying. I noticed no improvements, on the contrary my skin was so irritated, my blackheads were still there, I didn't get fewer wrinkles I didn't get a flawless and more perfect skin after the session. It was also quite painful. Now i am 100% sure that I do not want to spend my money on a third session of microdermabrasion. Thank you so much for raising awareness!!!💖💖💖
I've been doing it for 20 years at my dermatologist initially for cystic acne and it helped dramatically. That was just for 2 years. After that I do it every 3 or 6 months and never had any problems. When I go home I have warm camomile compresses to sooth my face.
I’m glad I’ve found your video but now I feel hopeless... I have mild to moderate indented acne scarring (boxcar scarring) on my cheeks. I know that forms of laser surgery are best effective (at least that’s what I’ve been told), but it’s out of my budget range. If I could at least minimize the appearance of my scarring I’d be happy. Do you believe chemical peels could do that?
Really good point she is making. When it first came out here in nz it was really expensive. It costs me $49 per session, but for me as a cystic acne sufferer it really works and is so relaxing
Microdermabrasion is equivalent to using the Clarisonic skin brush on your face. I had it done a few times to no noticeable difference. I always felt like it was scam. Thank you for sharing!
I have been debating on whether or not to buy an at-home microdermabrasion machine because it’s been suggested that microdermabrasion would transform my skin and make my large pores look invisible. I appreciate your honest input. I’m sure you’re getting a lot of rude comments for this but I particularly appreciate your review because it’s clear you aren’t being paid to do it. When beauty gurus and the like do reviews raving about a product, sometimes I cannot tell if they’re paid or they legit like the product without sponsorship because they don’t provide a disclaimer.
So strange my skin looks wonderful after a microdermabrasion treatment and clears pores of debris and helps stimulate collagen. Younger skin is under the shed layer. Products penetrate the skin better after treatment !!lol
At first, I was skeptical, but she is telling the truth. Chemical peels done by a professional who gradually progresses the intensity of them, IS WAY MORE EFFECTIVE and longer lasting. But there are benefits to microderm as well.
I just had a microdermabrasion facial the other day and I immediately noticed a difference in my acne afterwards and my acne still looks better. It did not hurt, in fact I barely felt the machine. The machine was not loud and the student that did my microdermabrasion showed me all the gunk inside the tube afterwards. It looked like a swamp had been living under my skin. I believe microdermabrasion works if done correctly. You did not handle this very professionally and I would not take advice from you.
@@proenrichment sorry i just saw this comment. but no i didn’t have a before and after pic. with that being said, i only had the one treatment done while i was at school so a fellow student could practice. i haven’t had a microdermabrasion treatment done since then because i paid good money to have the appearance of my broken capillaries removed years ago before becoming a licensed Esthetician. if not done properly, microderm can cause broken capillaries and if a client already has them before starting a microdermabrasion service, they are not a good candidate for that treatment, which i always discuss with my client before i start a service. also, i have always noticed a difference in a clients skin appearance and texture after a microderm treatment using a diamond tip, which is just a mechanical exfoliation as stated in the video. and my clients felt they noticed a difference and came back monthly.
I disagree. I get microdermabrasion & it has done wonders for my skin. The last time I got it, the aesthetitian used diamond tip and I saw the dead skin in the filter of the tool. It cleared up dead skin cells on my forehead nose and very congested chin. I must add that I informed her to use the highest setting on the machine; it wasn't painful. I will be going for the Hydrafacial next. Since you think that microdermabrasion isn't effective, what do you suggest as an alternative treatment? Do you suggest peels?
I wish we could upload photos here. My mom uses her favorite skin exfoliating product with a facial sponge from the 99 cents only stores 😂 she has huge pores so she definitely sees immediate results
hey seraphim skin care. i have a question. i wanted to do microdermabrasion on my belly for my stretch marks that i got from carrying my twin girl this year. if microdermabrasion is not helpful what would you recommend ?
I watched this and I do not agree to what she is saying, I have been doing Microdremabrasion for 10 years, some I do at home when I came not make it to my dermatologist office, I wish I can upload a before photo, I will give you an example as how well it worked for me, I was out with my son and grandson for lunch, my son is 42 years old the watier thought I was his wife and my grandson was our child together, I am 64, you have to do more than just one thing to take care of your skin, I belive in a good facial cleaner, (Organic) Vitimin C moisturizer Which I make myself Organic (I do not like some of the ingredients that most products have in them and they are pricey) good peptides (which I put together myself), good oils (Squalane, Vitamin E) I also use microcurrent and light therapy, so just doing one thing is not the way to go, but when you put them all together it works well, I also do micodremabrasion on my body that works well for me too, I will be 65 this year,... my skin looks and in better health now then it was when I was in my 30's....., everything do not work the same for everbody you have to find what work best for you and stick to it, your skin did not get that way over night and it will not take just one treatment and you wake up the next day and everything looks great, ...give things time to work, take it from me it has work very well for me, you just have to do some work yourself.Try it for yourself and see what you think about it, don't let someone talk you out of somethimg that might work for you.
I have acne scars on my cheeks, not ice pick scars but moreso hyperpigmentation from picking. It is now brown pink and has been so for years. Would you suggest using microdermabrasion just for the scars? Silk’n is having a sale on their microdermabrasion device and I wanted to try. Thank you
A rough sponge would have the same effect if you were exfoliating your skin but you would have to use very lightly..or you would badly scratch your face or worse ...best alternative is using sugar and olive oil to rub gently over your face.. cheap and works miracles
Sorry to burst your bubble but i have been doing micro for over 6 years now. Roughly 4x in a year. Mt aestecian using the microderebraion that has a vaccum. Let me tell you this. As soneone who has sensitive skin and uses gentle cleanser, my skin barely gets any exfoliation. My skin is completely CLEAR after each session. And my skin is so much fresh and clear once redness has come down
Hi, So are you saying the acid should be placed on my face before the microdermabrasion? Because yesterday the girl did that after. It burned so bad! But today, my face is just dry as heck and kinda hot and sore.
The difference will be in few days later not on the same day I tried it its nice and didn't hurt at all with pmd home device ..its so good u suppose to do it once every week by the way using sponge is also good as well as dry brush very effective stuff but of course need regular use ..
I never used a peel and microdermabrasion has been amazing for me, I have so many dark spots/ hyperpigmentation I’ll even you you guys picture before and after of how my skin has changed
I don't mean to be disrespectful to the spa or the woman speaking in it, who I respect for her passion on microdermabrasion. This comment doesn't really have to do with microdermabrasion but spa treatments, and skin care in general. I'm currently working on a presentation for my college about how not a lot is done about cosmetics by the FDA. On the FDA website, a cosmetic is defined as "articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body...for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance" (FDA site).Therefore, a microdermabrasion treatment, or other spa treatment is viewed as a cosmetic. Here's the kicker, the FDA doesn't have to pre-approve the product (in this case, service) before use in the market. They can take legal action against the company and those responsible either when they feel a need to inspect the product, or when someone files a report. Going deeper, products on the market can be still sold even if they are linked to "cancer, reproductivetoxicity, immunotoxicity, endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, Organ system toxicity, ecotoxicity, mutations, and biochemical changes" to name a few (EWG site). Why? There can be several reasons such as, it hasn't been reported, it is not deemed to be injurious to user by the FDA, etc. I say all this to set the record straight, and to let you know that not all doctors have the answers, its up to us as consumers to do our research on these treatments and products we use with credible sources, which I'm sorry, but is not a youtube video or even the comments. I urge you to be curious and cautious with how you do spend your money on services and products for your wallet, for your health, and for your future.

I had microdermabrasion done many years ago for acne scaring and it did wonders. It wasn’t just a one off and it took time to see results but I did and I was very happy 😊 As I am now older I guess it would dry out my skin but with proper hydration I think I would give it another go
I’ve had about 6 micro dermabrasion and I really think there over rated I’ve barley seen any improvement in my slight scaring that I have it’s defintly not worth the price is just basically a really good exfoliate that you can do at home to get similar results in my opinion aswell
I am 61 year old male and I been using microdermabrasion for the last 20 years and I feel my skin has never been better and younger looking everybody thinks that I am in my early for 40 so my skin looks young and feels soft. for me really works and I have bought the microdermabrasion which I am using is Trophy skin MD I do it at home. Wow and it really works and I am very happy with the result
As an Esthetician for over ten years, I have learned a lot about microdermabrasion. You typically don't see an immediate result after one treatment, it is a "series" of treatments if you want to see a gradual difference. Microdermabrasion is essentially exfoliating the surface of your skin as well as sucking the dead skin into to machine. Also, the suction brings blood to the surface of the skin to promote the production of collagen and speeds up cell turnover. The statement of using a "Scrubber Pad" is the same as Microdermabrasion is harmful and uneducated! A Scrubber Pad is used for dishes.....I hard nonporous surface. I don't even know why I'm explaining this, it should be common knowledge not to scrub your skin with a Scrubber Pad. It can cause abrasions that could lead to scarring, discoloration, and sensitivity.
So from my experience I burned my skin pretty badly using a diy mask and was left with really dark hyperpigmentation around my mouth that I couldn’t cover without makeup and wouldn’t budge and lighten at all, 2 years later I decided to get my first facial, when the clinician saw my skin she recommended hydromicrodermabrasion, I was sceptical and didn’t think it would help but thought it was worth a go. I kid you not, one session that’s all it took one session and the dark marks were completely gone, it was very red for a few hours after but my skin never felt so soft after, all the darkness around my mouth had gone and my skin was glowing. I think maybe it depends on what products are used in combination with it but I do think it’s over priced, you can get an at home device for the same price as one session and treat multiple areas. I’m going to purchase my own now from homedic
if you use a device like Dermalinfusion it is controlled and uses a diamond tip with simultaneous infusion. No harmful aluminum oxide crystals are used
Micro is a light extraction and its can be relaxing yes it exfoliate the skin but we all know that peel work better micro good for use a nice smooth skin ...so it all good to micro !!!
Wow everybody is so mean to this woman and there are so many dislikes. I completely agree with her. I have gotten microderm and it has done nothing to my skin, maybe I get a slight glow but nothing else. It can even be irritating and possibly cause skin damage. Even Dr. Dray (a dermatologist) doesn't think microderm is a good idea.
you are so wrong!! my skin is beautiful because of microdermabrasion. have been doing it for years. has it occurred to you that people might react to treatments differently? lady ... speak for yourself.
please tell me what about hydrafaical can u explain me i have lots of pore on my nose and cheeks and acni blemishes 15 year old and pores are 2 year old i want to do hydra faical i think its better choice for my skin but i have not idea about hydrafaical please explain me if u have information of hydrafaical???
So it basically ever so slightly abrades the skin, and then the suction device sucks up all the dead skin and reminence? Are the tips supposed to penetrate the skin? Also does anyone know if there's a difference between the microdermabrasion devices they use in clinics and the good quality ones you can buy online? :)
Rio the home use devices don't have the power an in-clinic machine would have. the pressure and vacuum available. The clinic iequipment s much more powerful. Also home use ones are battery operated. So the results are very different between a home use device and a proper crystal microdermabrasion treatment in the clinic.
I went for my first ever microd. and my skin was initially quiet clear.. only a couple of small pimples finally nearly gone after a break out. Got the procedure done and the next day those tiny harmless pimples turned into angry and painful ones ! I was so upset and infuriated! Never again .. i wish i knew what was right to do and who to trust :( peels? Facials? ...
No ,your wrong then if your comparing it to a sponge, because I exfoliate regularly and it does make a difference ,so microdermabrasion has to do something ( I've never had it done ) but when you compare it to a sponge, well a exfoliating sponge does very well and I would say microdermabrasion should too !! (You just pay a lot more ) 😊
My mom did microdermabrasion on me recently she is a medical esthetician btw and my acne cleared up in about 3-4 sessions I had Nodules and cystic. She also uses the diamond tip (no crystal)
