Crawford, all the principles for home microdermabrasion are the same. The more inexpensive hand unit did not work out so well for me, so I'm looking at the larger unit sold here.
In the past, I've seen a few videos. You pull the skin taught and apply light pressure with the head of the device. Start at the lowest speed: I would not even think about increasing it the first day. This is something I would absolutely follow the directions, and they probably have a help line. Personally, if I "go back" to this, I will have some Vitamin K cream on hand.
If you are really nervous about this, cancel the order.
One thing I am really thinking about is an enzymatic peel -done on my deepest wrinkles on my forehead. They have improved, but the Nuface only works up to a certain point.
Enzymatic peels are not like caustic chemical peels, and I'm sure there are somewhat safe, but for my own reasons, I would rather have it done in a medical spa. If you try it at home, make sure you set a timer!
A lot of this home spa stuff is FDA approved, but it's still possible to injure yourself If you are really having qualms about declaration using a tool, don't do it.
