This is no way to say to opt out of professional treatments but that it is a great alternative for those who want the flexibility and affordability of microdermabrasion treatments while being at home. I know this because I have inquired about treatments previously and they begin at $80 per session. The price of the device pays for itself within two treatments. I looked up the replacement disc prices and they are quite reasonably priced, which you can find right now at $17 for 6 discs. Planning appointments really do stress me out and a once a week at home treatment is definitely do-able for me. It cuts out the costly expenses of clinic treatments and gives you a feel of the treatment. I would definitely recommend giving the Personal Microderm at home treatment a try, all while understanding that is not for everyone. Although, I have a long way to go, it was a pleasant first experience. My face looked brighter and had overall a more consistent texture. Followed by a sun lotion from the Face Shop the following morning. After the treatment I used a toner by Clinique and my Bioderma Sebium Mat Lotion. I ran it across my face and neck and did not feel any pain, only the sensation of suction on my skin.

While using the device, I made sure to use my other hand to hold my skin tight, allowing for the PMD to glide easily. I used the PMD at night, so I had already cleansed my face. This is to ensure that you get a hang of the device as well as making sure that your skin isn’t reacting to the treatment negatively.

They encourage you to use the white training disc during your first use. It only has an on and off switch, which takes out the confusion of deciding on multiple speeds. The instructional video answered all the questions I had, such as how many times a disc can be used, which direction to move the PMD in and etc. The device simply needed to be plugged into the power cord and was ready to use. My first time using the PMD at home kit was pleasant. You start off with the sensitive discs and work your way into the other coarser discs. They place great emphasis on using SPF lotion on the area of treatment, as that will be sensitive. It is recommended that the PMD be used weekly. The suction is what increases circulation, leaving you with that glow. It also uses a vacuum suction to suck up any dirt and dead cells, that the spinning disc was able to remove. This is a healing response which leaves you with firmer skin, so it aids in anti-aging as well.Īfter watching the instructional video that comes with the PMD kit, I was able to understand that it uses a disc made of aluminum oxide crystals to exfoliate and remove dead skin. Thus sending more blood circulation to that area, stimulating new cell growth. If you have used microdermabrasion, microneedling or other treatments in the past, you will be familiar with the fact that, upon causing a minor ‘injury’ to the skin, your body is tricked into thinking that, that area requires healing. Ultimately, when these layers are removed, smoother, healthier skin is revealed. The stratum corneum functions as a barrier to protect the underlying tissues. To break down how traditional microdermabrasion treatments work, it is the process of removing the outermost layer of skin, known as the Stratum Corneum. This outer layer of the epidermis is dead, so the removal process is completely painless. 2 caps (one small for face disc, one for body size disc).They make a number of different models, but the one I will be using is the PMD Personal , which retails for $159.

I have reviewed the PMD as a first impression and will definitely be doing monthly updates. The Personal Microderm is an at home treatment.

I would also believe I have some sun damage from forgetting to apply sun screen to my face while temporarily living in the Caribbean. I am a 22 year old, that has minor areas of hyperpigmentation and blemish scars. So when I came across PMD, I was ecstatic for the opportunity to try an at home version. That goes for laser hair removal treatments as well, which I would love to be consistent with. I have often looked into microdermabrasion treatments but being a medical student or a student in general, I can never plan weeks ahead for anything. As shown on my Instagram, I wanted to share my Personal Microderm (PMD) review with everyone.
