June from Tennessee

| 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. |

| Pros | None. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Don't do it... it's painful, the scars remain, and the skin stays red for the rest of your life! Doctors know this... but they want your money... and people with acne are easy targets. |

December 18, 2008
| Pros | Not sure yet. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Very painfull, itchy, and red. I was not prepared for this long recovery. |
| Bottom line | I had upper lip dermabration for wrinkles one month ago. After the procedure it looked like I ate a jelly doenut...very bloody. It took about ten days for for a scab to form and fall off. The skin is now very pink/red,swollen,itchy, and smoother at this time. I will let you know if this improves next month. I sure hope so...my daughter is getting married in March. |

apatient from dallas, tx
October 8, 2008
| Pros | The pros are, I have no more freckles and no more forehead lines. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I wasted $6000, I now have 4x the scars I started with. |
| Bottom line | I wasted $6,000. Before I had minimal scarring that I was obsessed about on the left side of my face. Now I have 4X that amt,from the bottom of my cheekbones to my jaw line, I now have saucer and lines.I researched & waited yrs. PLEASE don't do this By the way, it seems no matter how long you have been going to the doctor and no matter how reputable, you are still a number and they somehow, remember your acne scars as worse before the surgery. HA. |

Red19 from Burma
September 16, 2008
| Pros | hypertrophic scars leave, but depressed scars show little improvement,i use dermatix silicone gel on the treated area, good result seen |
|---|---|
| Cons | skin becomes excessively coarse, pores are extremely enlarged(just like orange peel).i was very distressed to see my face,cuz i was expected too much improvement before, but i can't see any change. |
| Bottom line | after dermabrasion,it should be accompanied by the rich antioxident diet,like vitC,A,E,zinc and copper rich containing diet.n eat rich fibre diet,defeacate eveyday,don't allow toxic substance stay in u'r body.it'll improve healing process and new skin'll be better than the previous.sleep early n sleep much(at least 8hrs).don't use AHA and doing chemical peeling after the treatment as it'll make worse of the scars and acid containing treatment cream should be avoid,live in a dark place.artificial light also contain UV,so don't miss suncreen at night also,but can wear off when u sleep(switch off the light).BEWARE:don't be so aggitative when u can't see improvement and buying many products for improve redness and scars as redness will fade by itself after 3 mths, n skin is too soft to withstand the effects of many hard cosmetics.the most suitable product is silicone gel or cream or sheet. |
