Is 18 too young for microdermabrasion?

I want to buy an at home microdermabrasion kit, but I was wondering if my skin was too young for that kind of treatment?

Is 18 too young for microdermabrasion?
No, unless you have sensitive skin (your skin may be sore for a few days) you should be fine to use it.

Reply:no your never to young for microdermabrasion unless you are under 1 foot tall
Reply:well, if yo uare doing microdermabrasions while 18, you either hace acne or just bad skin. try eating better and drinking lots of water.
Reply:Yes, much too young. You don't say why you want it, but if it's anything to do with acne, then your skin will probably settle down as your estrogen levels rise and your testosterone comes under control.
Reply:Yes, don't even think about it you could damage your skin. Using a buff puff and any cleanser with granulates in it is plenty of dead skin cell removal for now. Darling, use sunscreen everyday, drink plenty of water it is the fountain of youth and clean your skin with a balanced PH cleanser (gentle not harsh and drying) and your skin will be beautiful.

Not necessarily too young. But why would you consider this treatment? especially since you're at an age where the skin can naturally replenish itself if proper care is given on a regular basis.





If you are still very concerned about it, I suggest you get a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinion from qualified experts.





Just my humble opinion.
Reply:no it is not. im 16 and i use microdermabrasion to get rid of ance scars and to get my pores smaller.
Reply:No
Reply:It depends. At 18, your skin still has a high cell turn over rate and you really don't need to slough off any excess skin because of that. This is why microdermabrasion is usually best for older people, as the older you get the slower your skin's cell turn over rate is and the more dull your skin becomes. However, some people do get microdermabrasion at that age due to severe pigmentation left over from acne, certain types of scarring or occasionally, if they have excessive keratosis pilaris.





If you skin doesn't have any issues like that, I wouldn't bother with microdermabrasion. A professional wouldn't do micro on someone who's 18 and has no skin problems, so you shouldn't do it at home if you don't need it, either.





Really, if your skin doesn't genuinely need it - don't do it. You'll be wasting your money on a microdermabrasion kit because you really won't be seeing any results. :)





(Also, I meant to add: if you have acne, do not use microdermabrasion. It will only irritate it and open your skin up to infection.)
