Review (5/5): WOW. Great exfoliation!
So I've never had a professional microdermabrasion session and can't compare to that, but this is definitely the most amazing exfoliation I've ever had! The written instructions with mismatched photos for setting up are pretty bad- probably should've checked-out the video, but I was too impatient! Not sure I got the little disk filter thing in right, but onward and upward!
I used the diamond tip- medium size- and suction level 2 (I have pretty thick skin). I did give myself a little hickey next to one eye before I realized I could change the suction level while it was already in use (since you set the timer and the suction and then start it, I thought it was locked-in). But even that already looks a lot better 24 hours later.
I started with just one side of my face (line right down the center) so I could see/feel a side-by-side and while, of course, it's not like all my fine lines or hyperpigmentation disappeared after one session, my skin on the side I did was BABY SMOOTH while the other side was my usual not so smooth (Though I exfoliate a LOT)! Just keep in mind that your skin may be a little tender in some spots and you DO NOT want to use any chemical exfoliants (like AHAs) for a bit! I'm not a professional, so I don't know the time to wait, but I'll try a bit of my usual AHA serum after 48 hours. For now, I'm just using my hyaluronic acid and peptide blend serum and DMAE moisturizer and my skin is super glowy and nice!
