Microdermabrasion

Problem: Sun damage (freckling), under-eye circles
Pros: Skin looked smoother, brighter and more even toned. "There was no downtime at all. You could reapply makeup immediately and go out to dinner. I didn't experience any funny redness or anything," said Jenn, 31 (pictured).
Cons: A stinging sensation while sweating for the first day or two after each treatment. Skin was more sensitive so heavy sunscreen was a must -- even under clothing.
Total cost: $1,000 (five sessions)

wish I had that kind of money. Can we do before and after with drug and department store products?

Some of these procedures are really costly. It's not something everyone can do on a daily basis per say.

They may be worth it for some, but I'm personally not a fan of these procedures

Are you guys crazy. They all look different small amount of lighting aside. The 1st her crows feet were nearly gone, 2nd her acne scars were barley observant, etc etc. The results were amazing and if we don't want to change ourselves(chrisannaskye) than why are we constantly using new beauty products to do so. We a re on a beauty website. I would love to do these procedures. But if you look at the very bottom thats where the real kicker is.. the price. Its not changing its enhancing. I say CHEERS

The before and afters have the usual combo of expression, angle, light temperature and amount differences. I just don't believe the results are significant. The improvement's about the same for a facial.
