| Pros | Best treatment for deep acne scars and deep wrinkles! |
|---|---|
| Cons | It could take up to 3 months to be fully heal. Have to avoid sunlight for this long if you want to aviod hyperpigmentation. It may take several dermabrassions to get rid of acne scars, I had 5 dermabrassions, very time consuming, but worth the pain. |
| Bottom line | This treatment was a life saver for me. I suffered from severe acne scars and was ashamed to show my face in public. I am latin and have olive skin and yes my face is lighter than my body but it looks like I tan my body and not my face, not an issue for me. This treatment is for people with severe acne or deep wrinkles. You might need several treatments to get the results you want. One thing that helped a lot was to put fresh aloe vera on my skin after the planning(crust removing) was over. I slept with a mask of aloe vera on my face for 2 months straight. It speeds healing. Also be very careful to avoid sinlight I learned that lesson after my first. Had to get a peel to even out skin. Only fresh aloe vera from the leaves of the plant will work. Also time consuming but worth the effort. If you follow instructions and take good care of your skin while it heals, you will be happy with the results. |

| Pros | Smoothed out acne. Skin quality good, elasticity. Feels smooth. People think I'm ten years younger (for the last 25 years). But.... |
|---|---|
| Cons | Full face dermabrasion is not worth it. I had my procedure done 24 years ago to smooth out acne scars. My skin has never returned to its former color. It's whiter than my the lower part of my neck. It looks like I had a head transplant. Selfconscious |
| Bottom line | don't do it. |

WorstdecisionEVERmade from Dallas, TX
November 3, 2009
| Pros | NONE, ABSOLUTELY None!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Other than throwing away $6,000, having hyperpigmentation, hypo pigmentation patches in 4 places, 12x more scarred areas than b 4 and NEVER wanting to see anyone I ever knew B 4 the surgery again, hmnn? Oh and living never want to go in public again |
| Bottom line | This surgery should be banned, yes, outlawed. I researched for years, upon years. Went to a very reputable Dr. A in Dallas, TX. But, here is the deal, the surgery is just a misery waiting to happen. I have only ever actually heard of one person that is happy with it. I am a research type person, researched the dickens out of this surgery, thought this Dr. would be the one to do it. I now KNOW, there should be NO ONE doing it. It will ruin your face like no ones business. I hop this helps someone out there decide NOT to do it. I just wish I had the face I had before. NOw my skin is more thick, much more scarred, lines, hyper spots, hypo patches. My face is a mess!! I am as fair as someone could get too. I hope NO ONE with any kind of color to their skin at all ever does this surgery!!! It is too risky, THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE, folks IT IS YOUR FACE YOU ARE GAMBLING WITH. |

| Pros | NONE....WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | loss of skin pigment Additional scarring |
| Bottom line | I had two of these 6 weeks apart back in the 70's and I am still trying to recover from the damage the doctor did to me. DO NOT DO THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS YOU ARE A REAL GAMBLER!!!! If you do, make sure you check out the Dr. thoroughly before you let him touch you! |

Extremely Regretful from Dallas, TX
August 21, 2009
| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | I have 1000x worse scarring than I began with. I am not exaggerating one bit either! I have loss of pigment on both sides of my face, especially in the jawline. Folks, I am as white as you can get, very fair skinned. IVORY. |
| Bottom line | Please don't do this, there is a reason many dr.s no longer do this surgery. I use to believe it was because they were un fit or something, not good at it. THAT ISN"T TRUE, the surgery itself just stinks. The pigmentation loss has left me with so many fewer options to fix my scars. Which mulitiplied, yes, multiplied, there are many more lines now too from the dermabrasion diamond thing. And folks you figure it out, I went to one of the most lifted up derma's on here. Although, I know that derma can get rid of acne in a FLASH, I mean severe cystic acne. But, the dermabrasion is life altering and not for the good. The surgery is just not worth it, and I have heard and experienced so much negative from this surgery, I have only ever heard of one or maybe two people who say it was good for them. |
