Oh noo... I don't hate my skin that much! :shock: My neighbor had that done, and then had the Obagi Blue chemical peel to "correct" some blemishes/discoloration in her pigmentation that the microderm abrasion made more obvious... she hates she ever did it. She bought the series of 3 treatments and all the Obagi products for skincare inbetween treatments and never even did the last treatment. She never got the coloration back in some spots and the chemical peels left her even unhappier with the entire process... I would be quite content with a nice hour long european facial though... love those!
I have been doing microderm for about 5 years. after the abuse it takes in the summer....I absolutely love it. I did the chemical peel once, it was a bit rough. I hate your neighbor had a rough go. that stinks.
yeah... she paid over $500 for the 3 sessions of peels, and then probably another $300 or more in Obagi after-care products and "at-home" kits. I hate if for her too, and I hate to tell anyone "I told you so"... but before she started the process I told her I thought her skin was beautiful and she didn't need to spend that kind of money.
some people's skin over reacts to treatments like that, ya know? I feel like I abuse my skin, even though I use sunscreen, I am still out in the sun all summer long, and I won't give that up. I feel like in the off season, I owe my skin the rejuvenation, so I can start all over again.
