    I have had all 3. The microdermabrasion evened my skin tone and made me look a bit younger. The IPL had a similar effect. I had Laser Hair Removal on my neck 6 years ago and all of the hair is still gone. Microderm can be between $100 and $250 per treatment depending on what else you get with it. Laser Hair Removal is $50 – $500 depending on the size of the area treated….and you will need 4-6 Tx. The attached site(s) have more information and a list of qualified providers all of the services you are interested in. You can also call 888.517.4187 and they will give you pricing for your area.

    Hi,

    I am 32, my skin is a bit oily, I have acne scars and enlarged pores. I took a full 10 session series in a beauty center. Now I do the maintenance with different at-home kits and a professional microderma once every 3 months.
    I am pretty happy with what it did for my face (anyway, I was to scared to try dermabrasion or laser, so this was the only option to make my skin look better). My scars and line around the mouth have faded significantly, my pores are a bit smaller and the overall appearance is brighter and smoother (my colleagues at works say I look a few years younger).

    Before the procedure you have to stop waxing, shaving and using chemical peel products. In the day of the procedure, your face will be cleaned with special cleansing lotions. It doesn’t hurt at all (all you will feel is a warm tingling sensation when the crystals touch your skin). After the procedure, the skin is left red and hot for a few hours. I went straight back to work and my boss asked me if I went on the beach that weekend.

    I had to use sunscreen every time I went out for 2 weeks and to avoid sun exposure for 3 months.

    The first results were obvious the next day after the treatment. My face looked fresher (like it did in the mornings when I was 22) and felt a lot smoother.

    After the entire series (10 treatments), the final results were visible: reduces scars and wrinkles, smaller pores. I paid around $900 for the entire treatment.

    What I know is that IPL has the same results as microderma, but cannot be done on dark skinned people because it might cause them permanent scarring and hyper pigmentation.

    Hope this helps and good luck.
