Are reviews for microdermabrasion generally positive?

While there are occasionally negative reviews for microdermabrasion, often associated with chemical peels, an average of 72 percent of people posting about microdermabrasion in the RealSelf community forum report a positive experience.

RealSelf is a community in which people can share their experiences and rate a variety of services, including microdermabrasion. While it is always recommended to consult with a physician before having any kind of microdermabrasion or skin peel, it is just as important to review the medical facility in which the treatment takes place. This is because many of the RealSelf negative reviews of microdermabrasion are based on the doctor's offices.
