How Much Does Microdermabrasion Cost?
A single microdermabrasion treatment costs anywhere from $75. on up to $200. It depends on your area as well as where you receive the treatment. Sometimes a spa or salon machine may be the same make and model you a doctor may have. If you are armed with knowledge your chances of being taken advantage of are lessened.
You are not going to pay less than $75. a treatment and if you do, you're lucky! The national average is $135. The average machine is going to give you the penetration you need for the first few anyway. You normally work up to a higher level of penetration, but beware! Medical grade machines on their high levels can rip right through your skin.
Most doctors and aestheticians recommend a "series". A series consists of, on average, 4-6 treatments at 7- 10 day intervals. Some believe you must wait at least 10 days for your skin to heal properly or you will be doing your skin more harm than good. Still others consider an aggressive course with treatments every 5 days more effective. Some doctors or aestheticians will offer a package of treatments starting at $500. for 4-6 treatments.
What do I think? I think anything over $100 is a rip off. I'd sooner get on Obagi NuDerm with Retin A - 6 weeks to beautiful skin, for cheaper! That's what I did and I must tell you that if I had the money I'd get microdermabrasion as a luxury but for removing your complaints, tretinoin and Hydroquinone (or Kojic Acid) works fast.

Expensive. Why not try it at home with a microdermabrasion kit first? You might find it will do the trick for you without the expense. There are several good ones at drug stores and skin care counters. MaryKay also has a kit for $55, which can be used several times.

I figured out that you can mix olive oil, sugar, and lemon juice and stir it into a paste. Apply to your face (hands, too) with a circular cosmetic scrubb brush. Do this twice a week for 2 weeks. It works as well as the $25-65 home kits. The pro microder I got was lousy.
