I have been using my Personal Microderm for a couple months now and I really love it. I originally started using it for hyper-pigmentation that I was developing on my forehead and cheeks (sun exposure I'm sure). Not only has it helped fade that, but it has gotten rid of my "crows feet" and made my skin more even and soft. I can also tell that the products I use on my skin penetrate a lot deeper since the top layer of dead skin isn't blocking it all from being absorbed.
This retails for $179 new, however I bought mine on ebay for about $100 gently used. It really didn't matter because I bought new discs anyways which is the only thing that would need to be subbed out. So, if you don't mind buying a used one, then it is way more affordable. These treatments can cost up to $500 at your dermatologist's office! Some people are concerned that this is unsafe or that it hurts. I would assume that you would need to read the directions carefully and make sure you are using a legit machine. I think that most Dermatologists do not recommend that you use at home microdermabrasion kits because they would rather you go spend your life savings at their office with their treatment :p
Does it hurt? If you follow the directions and don't hover over any spots too long then you won't have any pain. Your skin will be sensitive after the treatment which is why it is important to stay out of the sun and keep a high amount of SPF on your skin. Any sensitivity subsides within a day. It's definitely not for everyone and if it scares you then DON'T USE IT! LOL
