Estimating Microdermabrasion Costs For Acne
Written by Andre DePayens
This article elucidates on the different factors that are involved in assessing how much a series of microdermabrasion treatments will cost.
The costs of microdermabrasion treatment vary based on a whole range of factors. Firstly, if you are considering treatment you need to decide whether you intend to go for professional treatment or try a home microdermabrasion system. Obviously, home kits are a lot less expensive than going to a professional for microdermabrasion treatments; however, the results are less obvious and you need to be more patient in waiting for them to show up.
There are two types of microdermabrasion treatment when it comes to assessing costs. Spa microdermabrasion is by far the most common type of professional treatment and can be used on the vast majority of skin conditions. It is also cheaper than medical microdermabrasion. An average treatment at a spa will cost about $110, although most beauty spas are willing to provide a discount of up to %25 if you commit to a series of treatments.
Medical microdermabrasion costs are more substantial than spa treatment. This is because the dermatologist, who is a skin doctor, is considerably more qualified than a spa technician which means they charge more for their time. Also, when you decide to go for medical microdermabrasion you are paying for the pre treatment care, advice and skin assessment which will let you know what the best type of microdermabrasion treatment is for your particular case. It’s best to choose medical treatment when you have an especially serious skin problem like deep pitted acne scars or old white stretch marks. This is because the machines used in beauty spas are often not strong enough to handle these conditions sufficiently. Doctors, on the other hand, use the most powerful microdermabrasion machines available on the market. The expected cost of one microdermabrasion treatment with a dermatologist is roughly $150-220.
If you still want to receive professional microdermabrasion treatment without paying the full price, you could consider combining your next vacation with microdermabrasion treatment. More and more people are flying abroad to carry out microdermabrasion and other cosmetic skin procedures in countries where there are qualified people but costs are lower. Two popular countries with microdermabrasion treatments at lower costs are India and Thailand where the average cost of a single microdermabrasion treatment can be as low as $40.
Home microdermabrasion kits are a cheap alternative to professional treatment costing only a fraction of the price. The average home microdermabrasion kit costs around $40-50 and usually includes a microdermabrasion cream as well as a post treatment skin soothing serum.n nnnn
