Posted by on . 3 comments.


I am begining reserch for Microderm abrasion, Chemical peels or a combination of the two. Do I go to a Spa/Salon or is this something I should trust to a dermatologists? Should the person have credentials? What should be the cost? How long is recovery?

    definatly a dermatologist!!!!
    Even if their slightly more expensive, I wouldn’t trust anyone working in a salon/spa to give me any invasive treatments like that(trust me-I used to work in one)

    a chemical peel is very harsh, you will be very red after, with the microdermabrasion your not going to be as irritated and I think it’s less expensive….I personally wouldn’t do a chemical peel, try the microdermabrasion first, you may need a few treatments to get results that you are looking for

    Microdermabrasion and chemical peel are both serious procedures with the capacity to alter the appearance of your skin from mild to drastic, which should best be performed by a licensed dermatologist.
    As opposed to a spa beautician, a licensed dermatologist would have more substancial experience in performing those procedures, hence assuring you more safety during procedure.
    Depending on the type and condition of your skin, of course, these procedures can be either done alone or together, which should be determined through a consultation with your doctor, prior to having any procedures done. For best results, however, people do want the best of both worlds, by having an initial chemical peel, which is done to remove the uppermost coarse, dead surface of your skin. Then this is followed by microdermabrasion( your doctor would choose the intensity by which to set it), which would deep cleanse, deep exfoliate, and remove blackheads/whiteheads, thus minimizing the appearance of your pores. This following step is optional, and done only if your skin is in really bad condition, and not as sensitive. After having microderm done, you could have another chemical peel done, which works as a sort of sandblaster, by removing whatever microderm has left behind and smoothing your skin for the final finish.
    Again, if done unproffessionally, these procedures can be harmful to you, so use precaution by visiting a dermatologist
