My cousin got that done the other day... but she didn't use a kit, she went to a beauty therapist. And her face looks absolutely gorgeous now.... she had a lot of dark mark on her face from acne and they're practically all gone... think she has a few more treatments to go.

I've had microdermabrasion professionally done at The Skinclinic and I've used home kit. The kit is good but it takes more usage to get the results u would get from one visit to an asthetician. The kit is wayyyyyyyy cheaper and less painful..I would recommend Neutrogena's home microdermabrasion kit and Duane Reade has it on sale often

Well the professional one i got done was for free on a promotion. I had some hyperpigmentation line on my nose and juss a few black heads. Because my skin is in good condition that one microderm treatment cleared those dark spots for years..now I notice a few more blackheads on my cheekbone area that I want gone. It removes the top layer of dead skin from your face. Although I didn't pay...i would pay the $130-$175 US for it cuz I was fully satisfied with the results..it juss likkle painful

Ok the professional one different from the home kit. U know the drill they use on your nails for an acrylic "fill in"..well, daz what SkinKlinic use on your face. With that being said..it is discomfort in some areas of your face and straight up pain in others..but it is worth it. I ask de nurse to put it on the lowest setting and meh face til haht me. I had mine done in 2003. I liked SkinKlinic because everyone is a register asthestician and/or nurse and they explain what to expect after de procedure..skin peeling etc.
