It is not a cheap device, but after using I felt as though I had had a salon facial, and so this one time purchase is far more cost effective. There is also a larger sized set of discs to use to exfoliate the body.Īs well as exfoliating away dead skin, the PMD Microderm also stimulates collagen production and helps to minimose fine lines, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation.

Skin immediately feels softer and smoother and products are more easily absorbed into the skin.

The Microderm is designed to be used no more than once a week. Don’t use any exfoliating cleansers or products for 24 hours after using. You hold your skin taught with your free hand.Īfterwards you are advised to apply a toner and facial oil. You glide the device over clean skin in an upward motion, taking care to pass over each area no more than twice. I made the mistake of thinking I had charged it up and then wondered why it didn’t work when I unplugged it ( I never have been good at reading instructions- I get too enthusiastic about trying these things!). The first thing to take note of is that it is not rechargeable – you need to have it plugged into the mains while in use. The first time I used it I really wasn’t sure what to expect. From the first use your skin feels smoother and more ‘glowy’. It combines a vacuuming action while simultaneously exfoliating with a disc ( there are different grades of disc ( aluminium oxide), you progress to the higher grades as your skin becomes accustomed to the device. It claims to replicate the microdermabrasion treatment you have at a professional salon. When I was invited to try PMD’s Personal Microderm I just had to say yes. No travel or messy hair to contend with afterwards! Moving through my 50s and now 60s has not diminished my interest in sourcing the best best skincare tools. I love the luxury of a salon facial but have to confess to preferring the convenience of having a facial at home. I have to admit to being a bit of a gadget junkie when it comes to skincare.
