I just got microderm abrasion for the first time. I went to our local technical college to the esthetics (sp?) department. A student (of course) did my microderm and she was wonderful. She also did extraction of blackheads. My nose and forehead look so much better. I thought there would never come a day when I could look at my nose and see clear pores. She did cleansing first and then the microderm abrasion. Then she did a mask and then the extraction. Then she used something to bring my skins pH back to the right level. Then she did a neck massage. It was only $40. I am psyched!!!

I used to get microderm in OK for $35 a treatment, but it's hard to find around Harrisburg, PA. I just found a place where it's $50 a treatment, and I think I'm going next week. I really do think it helps to clear up the skin, and it makes it feel so soft afterwards.
Um....ok, so I pay $125 plus tip and plus extra if i get a mask at the same time....yeah, so I need to go book a flight to OK to get it done there...probably cheaper to fly there and have it done! i'm feeling robbed and my credit card hurts...
glad to hear you liked it. i have some expression lines that i am trying to diminish and i am trying to decide if i should go the route of microderm or glycolic peels. if neither of those work- i'm going for the botox baby!!
Just a tip for girls looking for cheaper alternatives to all sorts of beauty treatments...check out Aveda Institutes. I go to Jean Madeline here in Philadelphia but there are a bunch of them around the country. I get my hair cut and eyebrows done by the students there for 28 dollars total and have loved it every time I go. And the 28 dollars includes the fancy mint-something or other conditioner and head massage for an extra 4 dollars.
