They can have lightening ingredients for sun damage, ingredients to treat acne, antioxidants, there are so many options. Microderm only exfoliates and truthfully, I used to hate performing it. The suction is really hard on more mature skin that is already prone to broken capillaries IMO.
As far as peels and what to expect, the light peels I performed caused the appearance of slightly flaky skin for a few days and that was it. I know someone who had really bad scarring who had a pretty deep peel from a dermatologist. She told me her face was like raw hamburger for about a week but when the new skin came in it was perfect- like a child's. So depending on what you need it can really vary. |
Yes, I had a deep peel twice. It was amazing.
