Perhaps you’ve heard about microdermabrasion treatments at your go-to spa or derm’s office and the rejuvenating benefits they can yield for your skin. Or maybe you’ve coveted a celebrity’s super-smooth skin and wished you too had access to all of the latest skin treatments. But we’re letting you in on a little secret: Yes, you can get microdermabrasion at home. It’s totally possible to mimic the results from professional microdermabrasion procedures without even changing out of your PJs.<\/p>\n\n\n

To discover how microdermabrasion at home works, what it’s good for, and how to get the benefits of microdermabrasion, we consulted Nestor Antolin, a corporate educator for Dr. Brandt Skincare<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Is Microdermabrasion?<\/h2>\n\n\n

You can think of microdermabrasion as a supercharged form of physical exfoliation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

In-office treatment typically involves a suction-like instrument or applicator that sprays microcrystals of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate to polish the outer layer of the skin. While effective, these treatments often cost upwards of $100 per visit, yielding the best results following multiple sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Inspired by the benefits of such procedures you can get in a professional setting, the team at Dr. Brandt created the first at-home microdermabrasion treatment<\/a>. As Antolin explains, their bestselling exfoliator “combines professional-grade aluminum oxide crystals\u2014the same used at in-office procedures\u2014and lactic acid to remove dead skin cells and reveal radiant, smoother, brighter-looking skin” both immediately and with each use. “We combine both exfoliating ingredients so lactic acid ‘prepares’ skin to maximize the mechanical exfoliation, reducing irritation but improving efficiency.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Their microdermabrasion polishing cream also contains a blend of botanicals to calm and nourish skin, as well as antioxidants to help protect against free radical damage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
