Is there any way to do a home microdermabrasion or skin-peeling without visiting a dermatologist?

I have a few acne-scars on my back and have read that microdermabrasion (resurfacing the skin) or chemical skin-peeling are both popular ways to remove the outer layer of skin / get rid of the scars. Are there any ';home'; kits for performing this or alternative ways of performing it without a visit to a dermatologist? The closest one to me is about 2 hours away.Is there any way to do a home microdermabrasion or skin-peeling without visiting a dermatologist?
I've recently tried Neutrogena's VisblyEven Skin Polishing Enzyme Treatment. And I like it.


This product will save you Time and Money; AND it's safe for use on Darker skin tones and on Sensitive Skin.





1 Tube ($12) will literally provide head-to-toe exfoliation. That's a bargain! The enzymes work to dissolve dead skin.





I have used it twice head-to-toe-to-back-to-fingertips(includ鈥?the underarms). That's a mani-pedi, a facial, a back treatment and ';specialty area'; twice for about $25.00 total. Total time for both treatments:30-40 minutes total.





My routine: Shower, paint/slather thin coating onto, damp skin, wait 10 minutes, rub off of dry areas, then shower and use a buff puff to remove the rest. Cleanse and moisturize skin as usual. I recommend following up with a SheaButter moisturizer for the body afterwords.





Enzyme peels are the only peels I use as a professional, this is great over-the-counter product.





';Enzyme products work entirely on the surface of the skin to exfoliate, and do not penetrate a couple of layers of skin like the Glycolic Acid does.





Fruit Enzyme Products can accomplish the following:





Exfoliates dead skin cells


Stimulates new cell growth and new collagen


Improves skin tone and texture


Improves the appearance of fine lines and crepiness


Improve blotchiness and pigmentation irregularities


Safe for any skin type, including sensitive skinIs there any way to do a home microdermabrasion or skin-peeling without visiting a dermatologist?
yes. avon has some great products by ANEW for skin peelings, etc.log on to avon.com
Yes, there are a lot of at home options. What you need is a good body kit. Neutrogena makes one of the best. L'oreal works well too. If you follow the instructions in the box, your acne scars will look better in about 2 weeks. I had the same problem with sun spots and now they-re almost gone.


Hope this helps.
there are skin care products out there for that sort of thing. I saw the microdermabrasion stuff at a marykay party I went to. It probably costs a pretty penny, but most likely less than going to a dermatologist
Hi there, a friend of mine had the same problems. She tried everything from skin peeling to chemical treatments but found that the scars got worser and deeper (and the money purse more empty). Two years ago, she found a cream called strivectin-sd ( the original), and although for stretchmarks they can be used for scars and wrinkles because this concentrate helps to renew tissue instead of causing more damage. Within a few weeks, the scars completely disappeared!! I didn't believe this cream at first, but having seen how this cream has helped my friend with her scars ( and me with my wrinkles and stretchmarks), I just can not imagine a life without strivectin. If you want to find the best price for strivectin, check out ebay.( about 11 pounds for 12 ml) You will not need a large amount of it ( 10-15 ml will last you for two months when used for only one target area) but you can expect to see the results soon. I am using strivectin myself, and no other cream did have the same benefits. And believe me, I tried many. hope this helps.
There are several different companies that have at home kits for microdermabrasion. My advice is to research it on the internet and most of the cosmetic comapnies, such as Nutragenia, Loreal, and such have web pages. Ask friends, co workers, and family. Then pick a comany and try it. Follow the directions exactly. But at home kits are not the same as an office procedure. They are usually watered down versions. Talk to a DR. if the at home kit doesn't do what you want it to do.
Slather some rubber cement on your skin and let it dry. Then peel it off.
