I'm a licensed esthetician also and I've used microdermabrasion on clients for years with excellent results. I recommend micro derming first and then a peel depending on the client's skin type and condition followed by a moisturizing mask. I do not charge a lot because I want my clients to be able to afford this effective treatment and it costs me very little to do.

I suffered from sensitive/patchy skin for years and I did microdermabrasion and it worked excellently for me. Maybe it doesn’t work on some people but worked amazingly on me

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! A lot of people don't understand the dangers of this treatment... Thanks for sharing, I can finally share this with my clients ♥

I just had my first Microdermabrasion yesterday. My skin is absolutely glowing today and the dark brown spot on my forehead is barely noticeable now. My crows feet are much better too. To compare Microdermabrasion to a sponge is wrong on so many levels. Why the heck would you tell people to scrape their face with a sponge?

IM SO GLAD I CAME UPON THIS VIDEO BASHING MICRODERMABRASION BC IT HAS 500 reviews on it in the comments saying how amazing it’s been for their skin!!! you can’t find reviews of this volume anywhere else😂

I have done this micro facial before for a long time and my skin was so smooth, it does work it's brilliant.

I have done 8,000 treatments on clients with outstanding results, skin smooth to the touch , glowing. Clients smiling from ear to ear and me as well. A sponge scratcher...what? that is an unheard of analogy. It is really to bad you don't realize the miracles of Microderm.

someone must have pissed her off

Thanks so much for the eye opener 😲😲

She looks like Caitlyn Jenner 😊

Thank you! Great video.

Thank you for waking us up!

Thank you for sharing this! I would have gotten it done!

If you're so against it and you were trying to promote your spa then why don't you recommend something you do feel makes a difference? The Micro dermabrasion's I get are with salicylic and glycolic acid applied and my skin was flawless in the days afterwards. I had never had make up go on so smoothly and completely change the texture of my skin. Of course it is not a one time fix and I had to go on prescription pharmaceutical products and maintenance to continue to improve but I just don't understand why you don't suggest what you do you think works I found it odd

Thank you so very much for your candid truthful statements on microderm abrasion.. I have had several treatments for hundreds of dollars and I have yet to see a difference .. perhaps the 49 cent sponge would do me well.. I must say tho it is pleasant to have the facial.

It depends on "WHO" is doing the microderm. I've had it done for five years, and one person didn't use enough hand stroke so I didn't see a difference. But when I asked for another tech, she used great hand stroke and turned up the number. My face felt like a baby, my dark acne bumps lightened up drastically, and my wrinkles flattened out considerally. A lot of the bacteria that had made a pocket for breakout, went away. My skin was clear and glowy. So if you're not getting good results and see no difference, try another tech. Not all technicians are the same.

Thank you for speaking truth!

Caitlyn jenner gotta chill microdemerbration is 💣 I love it!

I love it! Skin feels smooth and new

I wouldn't say that microdermabrasion is a scam. It is great as a buff and polish for the skin and leaves your skin incredibly soft, smooth and radiant for only about 1-2weeks. I totally recommend it as a pick me up before an event or special occasion. There are definitely a lot more effective treatments such as micro needling and chemical peels that give you better results. But what is appealing about micros are that it is non invasive, chemical free and it's quick and easy :)

Whatever works on you, I want! You’re gorgeous and glowing ! ❤️

I disagree, I am 58 years old & I got my microdermabrasion & oh boy my husband even notice how my skin looked:) & all my friends complemented saying by skin looks younger, brighter, even toned, less line 👍🏼 it's been two months & today I am going for another micro treatment 😊 can't wait.

Oh my good, what a woman! Beaureful and, real. Just discovered your channel. Bravo and thank you. You saved me $300.00 or more.

I agree. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels both do basically the same thing for your skin, and that is to exfoliate the skin. They remove the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin and both stimulate faster cell turnover to keep your skin fresher. Microdermabrasion is a mechanical means of exfoliation, that is, it uses a scrubbing action to remove the dead skin cells, while the chemical peel penetrates and exfoliates the skin chemically.

What do you use for your skin? You look amazing.

Your skin is flawless. Will definitely take this into consideration

How do you feel about the "green peel" ?

I have always thought as much… Your skin looks amazing… What products do you use and how old are you if you don’t mind me asking…

I believe you and also you and your skin looks beautiful. I'm 50 and have acne and enlarged pores What do you recommend.

Your skin is gorgeous!

I have acne, big pores and DEEP dirt in them, my skins very congested and I'm 20 years old, would I benefit more from a peel?

So, what product do you recommend?

uhh Break my heart. Ok then what can i do to remove acne scars?

what do you recommend to get instead? Seraphim Skin Care

I was really looking forward to this treatment.

Totally agreed with you , have test it couples of min and my skin is soft, smooth . Kept opening our eyes for scammers, will keep on using it from today , am dome with facial scammers 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Your skin looks so beautiful. Can we buy products from you?

You can't see results just from one use, that's why they tell you to come back at least 1-2 times a month.

thanks for being so honest

I’m glad I’ve found your video but now I feel hopeless... I have mild to moderate indented acne scarring (boxcar scarring) on my cheeks. I know that forms of laser surgery are best effective (at least that’s what I’ve been told), but it’s out of my budget range. If I could at least minimize the appearance of my scarring I’d be happy. Do you believe chemical peels could do that?

Um, you look exactly the same after a facial and mild peel also, but that doesn't mean you're not getting the benefits of the treatment. As an esthetician I can tell you that a microdermabrasion is not just like raking a 49 cent kitchen sponge over your face, and as as a professional it's irresponsible for you to make that claim. As your video is misleading, deceptive, and outright incorrect, I would like to make the viewers aware of the inconsistencies of your claims. I perform microderm infusion treatments and show my clients the debris that was lifted from their skin in the output container. Their skin glows from the exfoliation of old dead skin cells and in the case of the infusion method, the serum chosen for their skin type/concerns during the analysis refreshes, hydrates, brightens, and/or clears debris from pores. I have NEVER worn goggles, nor do my clients require goggles for this treatment. It would make complete sense to perform a peel, then microdermabrasion, and that is one of the protocols I recommend to some of my clients. The salicylic acid (or whichever acid used) helps to loosen the dead skin cells which the microdermabrasion then sloughs away. Skin care and treatments are cumulative, rarely does any one treatment provide instantaneous results. I see you searching for the other horrible things a microdermabrasion treatment can do to skin aside from breaking capillaries and breaking down collagen. Any esthetician worth her license would be able to determine whether a client is a good candidate for ANY treatment, and any skin care/product routine for that matter. I have had numerous microderm treatments and I can tell you that it doesn't 'hurt'. If you were to use suction that is too aggressive or the wrong granularity or grit of course it will be painful. For that matter, a 49 cent sponge would be painful if used incorrectly on the face or anywhere on the body. Even YOUR OWN product line states that you can achieve glowing skin "if used correctly". Hmm, I see a theme here. I don't understand what you intent was for this video, but I say to the public, please do your research on the 'expert' you're listening to and the red flag warnings being given. I can debunk practically every claim made in this video, and I find it ironic that the presenter is angry about being lied to about skin care products and services.

Anybody know if the attachment (diamond) is supposed to rotate? I feel like I'm just combing over my skin. Help

Thank you for your honesty.

I tried do many spots remove products and none worked. What is the best product for remove sun spots from the face?

Thank you. Truly appreciate your honesty. I agree with your comments. I have had this procedure done several time with no significant difference. I get a glow, but no changes in pigmentation or wrinkles. I prefer the chemical peels over microderm, vitamin c, retinoids, filler and botox. That's what really works.

Seraphim Skin Care, Thank you for the info. It makes sense what you are saying. Microdermabrasion is just sanding of the skin. You are a brave woman for just telling us what happens behind close doors at some of these businesses, and I thank you for that. I work in a dental office where we charge 21 dollars for 2 ounces of Chlorhexidine irrigation after dental cleanings. Chlorexidine is an excellent antimicrobial that people can get it with a prescription at a cheaper price at the pharmacy (between 4-12 dollars for a 16 oz bottle), but we sell it as an irrigation. Scientific studies by the Journal of the American Dental Association state that is good as a mouthwash, but there is no benefit as an irrigation. Well, guess what: we charge it anyway.

This women does not know what she is talking about! For one thing...microdermabrassion equipment does NOT spit anything onto the face. Microdermabrassion DOES NOT hurt...and, it is NOTHING like using an old scrum brush on your face. She is obviously just trying to promote her CHEMICAL peal services.

pls request a video about derma rolling, and precautions just after derma rolling

I have been doing microdermabrasion for a year and the difference is amazing!

Really good point she is making. When it first came out here in nz it was really expensive. It costs me $49 per session, but for me as a cystic acne sufferer it really works and is so relaxing

hey seraphim skin care. i have a question. i wanted to do microdermabrasion on my belly for my stretch marks that i got from carrying my twin girl this year. if microdermabrasion is not helpful what would you recommend ?

Ummmmm I can testify that microdermabrasion is amazing. I’ve been doing this since I was 26 and people can barely believe I’m 40. It plumps and helps the skin even out. It has built collagen for me. So I’m not sure what she’s talking about.

What can I use for dark marks in the middle of my back

I had only twice microdermabrasions so far, and I totally understand what you are saying. I noticed no improvements, on the contrary my skin was so irritated, my blackheads were still there, I didn't get fewer wrinkles I didn't get a flawless and more perfect skin after the session. It was also quite painful. Now i am 100% sure that I do not want to spend my money on a third session of microdermabrasion. Thank you so much for raising awareness!!!💖💖💖

thank you for this video. I was looking into going for my first trial. Im so glad i saw this video.

I love it. Took away a lot of my scars.

should i use a face mist during Microdermabrasion

Hi, So are you saying the acid should be placed on my face before the microdermabrasion? Because yesterday the girl did that after. It burned so bad! But today, my face is just dry as heck and kinda hot and sore.

She is a hater because she said they was the first skin care place in Atlanta,now everybody else is probably going everywhere else,microdermabrasion does work and it is a soothing and relaxing and it does not hurt,I love it and it works wonders for my skin, I only do it four times in the year towards the fall because it can irritate my skin in the summer in the heat, I am a brown skin African American woman God bless.💖💖💖💖💖

Honestly wish I never came upon this review.

Hi, can you do a review on HydraFacial Treatment? I read good reviews online, is it really worth it?

I have acne scars on my cheeks, not ice pick scars but moreso hyperpigmentation from picking. It is now brown pink and has been so for years. Would you suggest using microdermabrasion just for the scars? Silk’n is having a sale on their microdermabrasion device and I wanted to try. Thank you

is it save process for my i have acne marks but my wedding is on 3 January please tell me what can i do??

please tell me what about hydrafaical can u explain me i have lots of pore on my nose and cheeks and acni blemishes 15 year old and pores are 2 year old i want to do hydra faical i think its better choice for my skin but i have not idea about hydrafaical please explain me if u have information of hydrafaical???

well it usually takes several treatments to see results with microdermabrasion.

I disagree..I've been doing microderm since 2012 and have customers that DO see a difference in their skin..i treat alot of ethnic skin..mostly Hispanic and Asian with multiple skin issues that love this treatment and find it relaxing (I do diamond tip microderm..not crystal)..so she's entitled to her OPINION

What is your recommendation for having a better skin?

I like her opinion and expression,..so funny :)

I've been doing it for 20 years at my dermatologist initially for cystic acne and it helped dramatically. That was just for 2 years. After that I do it every 3 or 6 months and never had any problems. When I go home I have warm camomile compresses to sooth my face.

Thanks for the truth. Your skin is glowing, very beautiful ✝️🙏🏾✝️

My skin is dry and blunt after microdermabrasion for weeks. Why? I don’t think I’ll do it again

At first, I was skeptical, but she is telling the truth. Chemical peels done by a professional who gradually progresses the intensity of them, IS WAY MORE EFFECTIVE and longer lasting. But there are benefits to microderm as well.

So strange my skin looks wonderful after a microdermabrasion treatment and clears pores of debris and helps stimulate collagen. Younger skin is under the shed layer. Products penetrate the skin better after treatment !!lol

OMG! I do not believe you! My skin is glowing and beautiful, as I have been doing microdermabrasion. It does NOT hurt (as you say) and I get compliments on my skin all the time since I have been doing microdermabrasion. After I microdermabrasion I use my serum. I love dermabrasion!!!

I wish we could upload photos here. My mom uses her favorite skin exfoliating product with a facial sponge from the 99 cents only stores 😂 she has huge pores so she definitely sees immediate results

I have been debating on whether or not to buy an at-home microdermabrasion machine because it’s been suggested that microdermabrasion would transform my skin and make my large pores look invisible. I appreciate your honest input. I’m sure you’re getting a lot of rude comments for this but I particularly appreciate your review because it’s clear you aren’t being paid to do it. When beauty gurus and the like do reviews raving about a product, sometimes I cannot tell if they’re paid or they legit like the product without sponsorship because they don’t provide a disclaimer.

What do you think about micro needling for the face?

I disagree. I get microdermabrasion & it has done wonders for my skin. The last time I got it, the aesthetitian used diamond tip and I saw the dead skin in the filter of the tool. It cleared up dead skin cells on my forehead nose and very congested chin. I must add that I informed her to use the highest setting on the machine; it wasn't painful. I will be going for the Hydrafacial next. Since you think that microdermabrasion isn't effective, what do you suggest as an alternative treatment? Do you suggest peels?

What do you think about micro-needling

I just had a microdermabrasion facial the other day and I immediately noticed a difference in my acne afterwards and my acne still looks better. It did not hurt, in fact I barely felt the machine. The machine was not loud and the student that did my microdermabrasion showed me all the gunk inside the tube afterwards. It looked like a swamp had been living under my skin. I believe microdermabrasion works if done correctly. You did not handle this very professionally and I would not take advice from you.

Thank you a real one

How much grease do you have on your face?

Well I was. Very happy with my microdermasion no glycol acid .my acne scars gone .and pores reduced .plus I do microdermasion at home with the pmd pro for over two years and I love it .it truly keeps my skin glowing . well to each their own

So it basically ever so slightly abrades the skin, and then the suction device sucks up all the dead skin and reminence? Are the tips supposed to penetrate the skin? Also does anyone know if there's a difference between the microdermabrasion devices they use in clinics and the good quality ones you can buy online? :)

Yup I use that sponge in the tub I have fish scale legs so yea the sponge does wonders

Dose the sponge it rid of whiteheads

Oh, thank God! You helped me save hundreds of dollars in treatments. I do have extra sponges in the kitchen.

I watched this and I do not agree to what she is saying, I have been doing Microdremabrasion for 10 years, some I do at home when I came not make it to my dermatologist office, I wish I can upload a before photo, I will give you an example as how well it worked for me, I was out with my son and grandson for lunch, my son is 42 years old the watier thought I was his wife and my grandson was our child together, I am 64, you have to do more than just one thing to take care of your skin, I belive in a good facial cleaner, (Organic) Vitimin C moisturizer Which I make myself Organic (I do not like some of the ingredients that most products have in them and they are pricey) good peptides (which I put together myself), good oils (Squalane, Vitamin E) I also use microcurrent and light therapy, so just doing one thing is not the way to go, but when you put them all together it works well, I also do micodremabrasion on my body that works well for me too, I will be 65 this year,... my skin looks and in better health now then it was when I was in my 30's....., everything do not work the same for everbody you have to find what work best for you and stick to it, your skin did not get that way over night and it will not take just one treatment and you wake up the next day and everything looks great, ...give things time to work, take it from me it has work very well for me, you just have to do some work yourself.Try it for yourself and see what you think about it, don't let someone talk you out of somethimg that might work for you.

Spits crystals? The microdermabrasion I'm aware of sucks like a vacuum and takes out crap from your pores.

I’ve had about 6 micro dermabrasion and I really think there over rated I’ve barley seen any improvement in my slight scaring that I have it’s defintly not worth the price is just basically a really good exfoliate that you can do at home to get similar results in my opinion aswell

Microdermabrasion is equivalent to using the Clarisonic skin brush on your face. I had it done a few times to no noticeable difference. I always felt like it was scam. Thank you for sharing!

you look beautiful to me lady ....what do you do to look like that then ?

I went for my first ever microd. and my skin was initially quiet clear.. only a couple of small pimples finally nearly gone after a break out. Got the procedure done and the next day those tiny harmless pimples turned into angry and painful ones ! I was so upset and infuriated! Never again .. i wish i knew what was right to do and who to trust :( peels? Facials? ...

you are so wrong!! my skin is beautiful because of microdermabrasion. have been doing it for years. has it occurred to you that people might react to treatments differently? lady ... speak for yourself.

Sorry to burst your bubble but i have been doing micro for over 6 years now. Roughly 4x in a year. Mt aestecian using the microderebraion that has a vaccum. Let me tell you this. As soneone who has sensitive skin and uses gentle cleanser, my skin barely gets any exfoliation. My skin is completely CLEAR after each session. And my skin is so much fresh and clear once redness has come down

if you use a device like Dermalinfusion it is controlled and uses a diamond tip with simultaneous infusion. No harmful aluminum oxide crystals are used

I had it done..worked amazingly

I’ve had such great results with microdermabrasion!

I don't think she is from our World.

ok well I know for a fact she is wrong I'm 50 I had it done 3 yes ago and it took a week to not look sunburned and as the next cpl weeks went by my face looked much better ppl noticed it rally took at least 5 years off I am about took have it done again or buy my own little Machine and I am very fair with freckles ,smoke lol I quess when the old skin is blasted off lol the new grows and looks better
