Each year, millions of dollars are spent in the U.S. alone in plastic surgeon
and dermatology offices on “lunchtime” cosmetic procedures including
Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, peels, and microdermabrasion.
American women and men are all wanting to look fresher and
feel better
about themselves.
We are all moving more toward
letting our outside appearance reflect what is on the inside. Unlimited
bank accounts and spending is a thing of the past. Even the ultra wealthy are
watching the all mighty cosmetic buck.
Of course, the
professionals don’t like to let all of their treatment secrets out, but
increasingly there are more and more safe and effective home treatments
available for many things including laser hair removal, chemical peels, and
microdermabrasion.
So many minor medical procedures and
services from laser hair removal to attaching a home IV therapy (physician
prescribed) can be done by a regular Joe with no formal medical training.
Medical products previously only available to medical professionals are now FDA
approved and on the mass market for purchase.
Prices for these goods seems to be somewhat dropping and markets
like Amazon andEbay make many cosmetic devices
and products only a few clicks away. While there are clearly things that only a
trained physician should do, there are a good number of things that we can and
perhaps should be able to do in the comfort and convenience of our own home
spa.
Here is where the savings start for a typical woman who is in her early
30′s.
Doctor: Microdermabrasion $150
Light Chemical Peel $75
At Home: Microdermabrasion $0.50
20% Glycolic Chemical Peel $0.50
Here we have a potential savings of $224++ by simply having
these 2 procedures on the convenience of her time and at the comfort of her
home. It is hard to put a relative price tag on the wait time at the doctor’s
office, the inconvenience of and time required to drive to an office, and the
gas and car expenses.
While home kits are available on many sources, we have found none as reliable
and easy as Amazon. As the people’s favorite, there really is no easier shopping
or faster. Before you blink your eyes, you find your credit card was charged and
there is a “Thank you for your order” message. There are many great choices in
products but we have narrowed down our top picks into these few favorites. Our
first pick is the 20% Glycolic Toner Pads by Citrix as found on Amazon at
$24.99. This jar gives you 60 pads at a rough cost of $0.42 per peel. These are
not the strongest peels on Amazon, but they are safe, easy to use, and
hygenic.The pads are pre-soaked in natural sugar cane acids and are easy to wipe
on your face and neck. A big advantage with peel wipes is that they don’t drip
in your eyes.
Our second pick is SkinVacMD by Vacubrasion at $29.99 on
Amazon. Vacubrasion is the simplest and best priced home
microdermabrasion on the market today. This patent pending technology provides
everyone with a home vacuum equal and affordable access to home
microdermabrasion. SkinVacMD helps to gently improve skin complexion,acne scars,
pore size, and for all skin types. The company’s mantra is simplicity. Unlike
other companies, Vacubrasion has no consumables and no monthly expenses.
Vacubrasion’s hand held device uses none of the chemicals and aluminum oxide as
some outdated microdermabrasion systems. The only cost to operate the SkinVacMD
is the electricity you will use to operate your vacuum.
There are many microdermabrasion creams that cost around $30-$95 a jar. But
when the jar runs out, so does your investment. It may be best to stick with a
microdermabrasion machine, and save on the monthly expense of these creams.
Your savings from these lighter procedures can go along way toward saving for
twice a year Botox and fillers- things that you actually
will need a doctor for.
Amazon 2012 recognition
![Picture](/uploads/2/4/2/7/24271545/6828151.jpg)
skinvac MD received Top recognition from Amazon executives for holiday season of 2012.
"Amazon.com executives congratulated Vacubrasion on their outstanding sales
performance during the 2012 holiday season. Vacubrasion was a newcomer in the
health and beauty category and had tremendous growth in the highly competitive
market arena.
Vacubrasion is a patent pending microdermabrasion device designed to
provide crystal-free, chemical-free, microdermabrasion using a variety of
suction sources including commercially available, standard vacuums. Vacubrasion
essentially obviates the need for an exclusive suction source like a dedicated
and more typically much more expensive microdermabrasion machine, and provides
anyone with access to a regular vacuum to utilize attached microdermabrasion
tools. The device was invented by U.S. physicians and dermatologists prior to
being introduced worldwide in late 2011.
Amazon reports that Vacubrasion's 1st year sales ranked among the top 25% of
all Amazon sellers. In addition, Vacubrasion's customer satisfaction ratings
were excellent -- A+ -- during this period."

Product Reviews
Basic Home Microdermabrasion Kit
Feedback Rating: http://amzn.to/OhMzmI Great Product! “I just received this today and I just finished using it for the first time. I am very pleased. I bought a Nubrilliance on a trial 10 days ago and used it a few times. I was looking to purchase replacement tips for it and I came across the Vacubrasion kit. I decided to order it and I would decide which was better. I am packing up the Nub. and sending it back tomorrow. This Vacubrasion works 100% better. I have a Shark vacuum, a Bissell and a shopvac. The included attachment works with the shopvac but not with the other two. Luckily I had another attachment that I had from a shedaway pet brush that was a little bigger and it all hooked together to go onto my Shark. In the future I may purchase a 1.5 gallon shopvac to use just for this, but for now I am very happy with my purchase. It came at a great price, It arrived quickly and was packaged very nicely. The results on my face were much better with this tip. It smooths over your face easily and feels like a professional microdermabrasion. After some time I will come back to comment on future results. As for now, I highly recommend this product.” Denise Hosey, January 17, 2013 |
Liking it!
Sep 13, 2013 by Sonya USA SkinVacMD I was really impressed at how fast it came. $80 total with free shipping, and it was to my house in 2 1/2 days!! I was expecting to wait a week. Great service! Loving that I can use this whenever I want, and my skin looks pink and plump after. Makeup works great over it to cover up any redness. Working on erasing some of my scars and line between my eyebrows too. I'll keep you updated at how it's going. I had studied other at home micro dermabrasion products, but they had mixed reviews, so expensive with parts that broke, etc. I didn't want that...then I saw yours and all of the awesome reviews. I ordered that day! I've had it a couple of weeks now. Excited!! I referred my mom & Sister too, so soon they may be ordering it too. THANK YOU!! Turn Housekeeping Item to a Beauty Item
Aug 31, 2013 by K.H. USA SkinVacMD You all are off to a great start giving the woman at home an option to turn a housekeeping item into one to beautify. I don't know any other that can make the same claim, and stellar customer service. It's all already there, with good people and a product that sells it self well- there you have it. I hope it continues to grow for all of you there. Thanks again for making this process such a pleasure, and for an oasis of good customer service in the back drop of desert. |
