PMD Beauty Personal Microderm Review
Now that I’m nearing my mid-thirties it’s finally struck me that I really need to take better care of my skin. I’m actually embarrassed to say that in college I had a tanning membership and would religiously tan 3x/week. O.M.G….. how I wish I could turn back time.
I wouldn’t consider myself to be a beauty product or cosmetics guru but I do enjoy finding new products that work well with my skin.
When I got the opportunity to try the PMD – Personal Microderm I was really excited but also a bit nervous… The claims? To smooth and brighten skin and reduce the look of fine lines/wrinkles, blemishes, and enlarged pores.
I mean, who doesn’t want that?!
I guess I would consider myself lucky considering I spent so many years in a tanning bed because I don’t think that my skin is all that bad. However, I do have a few spots that I knew I wanted to focus on.
So long story short, I’m sharing this PMD Microderm Review to help you decide if trying to tool is right for you.
PMD Microderm Review
This Personal Microderm post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own.
What is the PMD Personal Microderm
The PMD Microderm is a device that uses spinning discs to exfoliate away dead skin. Removing the dead skin causes new cell growth which stimulates your skin so that it has a more youthful glow.
Most importantly the device works with no dangerous chemicals or products. It’s simply regenerating your own skin cells in a safe, convenient way.
The PMD Microderm Classic device comes equipped with 4 “levels” of exfoliation discs (that are color-coded btw) – ultra-sensitive, very sensitive, sensitive, and moderate.
(I started with the most gentle and each week worked my way up and I recommend you do this, too). I also recommend testing out the PMD on a very large and non-sensitive area of the skin first (like the arm or leg) to get an idea of the suction and feel.
How To Use The PMD Microderm
Using the PMD is incredibly simple.
First, choose your disc and insert it into the PMD, then plug it in. You want to make sure that your skin is pulled taut and then you gently move the PMD across your skin.
Just make sure you only go over each area once as it can be irritating to do it more than that.
How often should I use PMD Microderm?
For most people, using the device every 5-7 days is ideal. After using the device you want to give your skin enough time to heal before “treating” it again.
Everyone will be different, but this is the suggestion from the PMD brand itself.
Before And After PMD Results
If you read the information given with your product you will see that results take time. It’s suggested to use the product for 8-12 weeks before you start seeing a real difference. I’m only on week 4 but I can tell you that I am happy with my results so far.
Below I’m sharing my current before and after photos. I realllllyyyy don’t like close-up pictures. I am not photogenic AT ALL and I have no makeup on in these because I want you to see my true skin for what it is.
Before Using PMD Microderm
Above I mentioned there were a few spots I wanted to put my focus on… I am a HORRIBLE squinter. I don’t wear sunglasses enough and I have very sensitive eyes.
Because of this (and surely coupled with my years of tanning), I have 1 deep wrinkle in between my eyes that drives me I N S A N E.
Although the PMD isn’t meant for deep wrinkles I figured I would at least keep an eye on it to see if it helps. I also have some fine lines at the sides of my eyes so I wanted to focus on that area as well.
Additionally, I still have some melasma from pregnancy that hasn’t fully gone away.
After Using PMD Microderm
What I have noticed so far from using the PMD:
- My skin is smoother, especially my forehead and cheekbones.
- Some uneven spots/blemishes have started to fade.
I haven’t noticed a major difference yet in fine lines/wrinkles but again, I have only been using the device for 4 weeks out of the recommended 8-12.
Before I began using the device I asked some friends what their thoughts were and they swore by it. I’m hoping after a few more weeks I’ll start to see even more change. Below is a photo after 4 weeks of using the device.

Difference Between PMD Classic And PMD Pro
The difference between the PMD Classic and the PMD Pro is that the PMD Pro has an “Intense” level and has a few more color options.
