Personally, I would not have even professional microdermabrasion directly under my eyes. The skin is so thin in this area. I can not have microdermabrasion at all (told to me by professionals) as my skin tends to have broken cappilaries. Please be very careful if you do decide to do the eye area. In the short term you could like the results but what will happen down the road? |

I do. My undereye area is my pet hate so I ignore all gentle advice and don't care about abusing it at all - it's so much worse than anything else I reckon it could only get better!! I'll try anything.
I don't use the Epidermx too often, although I like the results, because I find it upsets my natural moisture levels (which are perfect), so only about once every 7 to 10 days right now.
I do it gently on the area, but I do get to the balling up stage. I've been doing this for about 3 months on and off. I have seen a *slight* improvement. Used to have a couple of small needle scars from collagen injections, they are much less apparent and small tiny blocked pores - gone.
Wrinkles, less improvement there but some. (I'm also using a whole arsenal of other stuff so that could be down to anything) but I feel it's improved the scars and clogging.
It certainly hasn't done me any harm, but if I had good undereyes to start with I probably wouldn't.

| I was asking about the undereye area because I am starting to see crepeness (sp?). It seems to be my only problem area as far as wrinkles go (my 2 forehead creases are gone thanks to Relax-A-Line). I was hoping to use Epidermx to soften the crepeness that is just starting to develop (age 40). I would rub gently of course and follow with camellia oil. |
