treatments were painless and convenient, each time my skin got a little softer, smoother, and more youthful. Now, as you can imagine, after 3-years plus of regular microdermabrasion appointments, I am completely ecstatic with the results. Finally I wanted to purchased my own microdermabrasion machine. Luckily, my aesthetician pointed me to the Sylvan Company and now I perform the treatments at home with a friend. I will do her face and she will in turn do mine. This machine is the best value I found for microdermabrasion machines. I have compared all of the professional machines and noted all of the important parameters .
