The costs of microdermabrasion treatment depend on a variety of factors. Firstly you need to decide whether you intend to go for professional care or try a home microdermabrasion kit. Obviously, home kits are a lot cheaper than receiving professional attention; however, the results are less apparent and take longer to show up.

There are two tiers of microdermabrasion when it comes to costs. Spa therapy is the most popular form of professional care and is suitable for the majority of skin conditions. It also costs less than medical attention. A typical treatment at a spa will cost about $100, although most spas offer a discount of up to if you book a series of treatments.

Medical microdermabrasion costs a lot more than spa sessions. This is because the dermatologist who is more qualified than a spa technician charges more for their time. Also when you opt for medical care you are paying for the pre treatment care and skin assessment which will match you to the best type of treatment. It's best to go for medical care when you have a particularly severe skin condition such as deep acne scars or white stretch marks. This is because the machines used in spas are often not powerful enough to deal with these conditions sufficiently, whereas doctors use the most powerful machines. The average cost of a single treatment with a doctor is about $150-200.

If you want professional care without paying the full price, you could consider combining your next vacation with microdermabrasion. More and more people are flying abroad to carry out micro dermabrasion and other cosmetic skin procedures in countries where there are qualified people but costs are lower. Two popular countries with microdermabrasion at lower costs are India and Thailand where the average cost of a single treatment can be as low as $40.

Home kits are a cheap alternative to professional treatment costing only a fraction of the price. The average home kit costs around $40-50 and usually includes a microdermabrasion cream as well as a post treatment skin soothing serum.
