the Price of Microdermabrasion

The cost of $500 included a microdermabrasion treatment at a licensed dermatologist's office, which utilized the diamond microdermabrasion method. The cost included the entire treatment, which took under an hour, as well as the initial consultation. None of this cost was reimbursed by the insurance company, as it was deemed elective cosmetic surgery.

My wife has never been especially happy with the skin around her face, saying it was a bit spotty, even if I did not see it, so when one of her girlfriends had a successful microdermabrasion treatment that removed some old acne scars and cleaned up a few spots, she decided that she needed to do it as well. The treatment was under one hour in length, and she managed to do it on her lunch hour, going back to work after it was done. It was pain free, and she noticed results very quickly, and is very pleased that she underwent this procedure.

Despite how common the treatment has become, being regularly offered at health spas, my wife decided she would rather have a medical professional perform the procedure, in case something were to go wrong. She also says do not be afraid to ask questions, and to educate yourself on the potential, if unlikely risks.
