I have it lots of times and I love it. It makes your skin so smooth and more vibrant. My mom and her friends all get it done and it makes their skin look younger. One treatment is nice, but to really see results you have to do a series of regular treatments.
It doesn't irritate my skin... it feels like some one has a pencil and is erasing your face. Each aestician is different in the amount of pressure they use. Where I go, the remove your makeup (which is SO soothing and feels great), do extractions, do the micro, put on a mask, put on some cream that I can never remember what it does but it smell goods, and then spray with oxygen. It's really refreshing but if you don't want the full treatment you can get the express session of micro without the mask, extractions, etc.
It's $150 a session. I went to the place I get it done and here's there price list and a little more info from their site...
