You don't need it: Microdermabrasion is a process by which layers of skin are removed. It may reveal the fresher, younger, newer skin, but this skin requires much more protection now than ever before. I don't think that someone your age would benefit for microdermabrasion, quite the contrary. Good luck from nyc.

No, no $ no work!: It doesn't work, and no insurance won't pay for cosmetic treatments. A light sandpaper would work better.
