| Pros | No downtime, effective at healing redness, not painful, leaves skin softer. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can be a bit expensive, im finding that it is begining to make my skin a bit worser but my skin specialist said it does take time for maximum results as ive only just started the treatments combined: glycolic peels, omnilux blue(bacteria killer)& red |
| Bottom line | Try it and stick with it for about 6-8 treatments till u see the results. And get it done by a specialist. |

| Pros | no downtime, no chemicals |
|---|---|
| Cons | causes more scarring, doesnt fade hyperpigmentation,expensive |
| Bottom line | ive had more than 10 microdermabrasions. i had them done consistently. im not happy with the results. all it did was make my skin look smooth, sort of like when i use a soft buff puff. the mild acne scarring didnt improve nor did the dark spots. in fact, the microdermabrasion left me with more scarring than i started out with. it was a total waste of money. my skin cant handle strong peels and i also work a lot so i dont have a lot of down time so i thought the microderms were exactly what i needed. i was very wrong and i now regret having them done. |

| Pros | Soooo, the procedure only lasted like 15 minutes. It does not hurt at all! My face felt a little hot when she was done but it cooled off before I left the Dr's office. It was also a little pink but NOT inflammed or red (yes biracial folks can get red |
|---|---|
| Cons | ITS PRICEY BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT IF IT WORKS...NOT TO MUCH RESEARCH ON IT JUST YET |
| Bottom line | ***** I GOT THE HYDRAFACIAL***** From all that I have gathered this is a new type of treatment. Im guessing that it stems from microdermabrasion. I saw a aesthetician today and got it done because I'm NOT confident that these Doxycycline pills are going to work. I also told her that I have tried everything (reg facial, proactive, otc cleansers, vitamins) and needed to get some results. Im 30 and tierd of breaking out. I cant get laser or other treatments for fear of hyperpimentation. |

| Pros | Made pores look smaller |
|---|---|
| Cons | Where do I start....perforated skin, left hideous burns and scabs |
| Bottom line | I went to a very reputable medical spa to receive a Microdermabrasion treatment (which I had had before with little to no pros or cons). I had two very small scabs on my face from old blemishes that were hardly noticeable. After the treatment I noticed that these spots had turned into red, oozy, raw messes. I assumed the person performing the micro knew to be NOT go over these areas. My face hurt but assumed it would be better by the next day. No such luck. I woke up with what looked like road rash in several places and a scab so large in one spot that it looks like I got into an auto accident. I can't believe this has happened. I called the office and they told me to come in THREE days later to follow up. Will never do this again. You should never mess with your face. It will take at least a week for it to at least look normal enough to be covered with makeup. |

ciara
January 29, 2009
| Pros | gets rid of acne faster than any topical cream ive used. helps scarring-- skin feels much cleaner and fresh afterwards |
|---|---|
| Cons | dryness 2 to 3 days after. skin is sensitive for a couple days also. |
| Bottom line | my dermatologist reccommended it and also reccommended putting me on spuronalactone (forgive my spelling) it is medicine for blood pressure but he said it eliminated the male horomone in my skin that causes horomonal acne and it has worked great. the topical he gave me was called azelex and it also works very well. he also told me something i was doing wrong making my acne worse and i was using dial and ivory soap to wash my face with and he said that was one of the worst things i could rub on my face he reccomended neutrogena facial soap or equate soap and ever since i changed soaps it has made a huge difference. he also mentioned mineral makeup helps- he said almay, sheer cover would be a good choce and said to never use clinique or estee lauder because they have recently changed their chemicals and it causes worse breakouts and skin irritation for some people |

| Pros | Smoother skin after first treatment. Not painful. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Very expensive for the results you get |
| Bottom line | I have done 4 treatments, and it was supposed to be in one of the best clinics in town. I have dark scars from acne in my back and face, but I am not impressed with the results at all!! I may try chemical peel for now, see if I get better results. |

| Pros | Skin looks smoother and clearer where I didn't break out |
|---|---|
| Cons | Way too expensive for the results that I got |
| Bottom line | I had two treatments so far at $125 per treatment plus a range of products they sold me costing $300. The first was terrific: my acne scars were lighter and my skin looked very fresh and healthy. It was a little red but I didn't mind at all. However, the day afterwards, I got breakouts on one cheek, and left it alone hoping that it would go away with the products I was using from the salon. The acne got worse and started forming a big, inflamed, red mess across my cheek, and I had to go back to the salon for another micro and for them to extract it. The second micro yielded almost no results. My skin looks the same and the acne on my cheek after the first micro has scarred terribly. I am getting married in 2 weeks and have never seen my skin look so scarred. I guess I must have had a bad experience. I am debating whether to go back 1 week before my wedding to try to clear up the scar again... hopefully my make-up artist can work magic... |

| Pros | Completely healed all acne and scars after 2 treatments |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive |
| Bottom line | I had terrible acne for years and tried all sorts of solutions. Nothing worked permanently until I tried microderm. After the first treatment my skin looked better but I still had breakouts. Slightly better results at the 2nd treatment. The third treatment completely stopped my acne cold. I no longer have to use benz-peroxide or sal-acid at all. My face just doesn't get acne anymore. |

| Pros | Little downtime, not too pricey compared to other treatments, not painful |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can get pricey if you continue treatments, may cause new acne pits to appear if you currently have pits that aren't too noticeable, dry skin for 2-3 days |
| Bottom line | I sometimes get cystic acne on my cheeks. I had a few depressed acne pits & some indents that weren't too noticeable. I decided to go to a beauty clinic that charged $50.00 per microdermabrasion treatment that includes a facial. My skin felt so smooth after. But after a few treatments, I noticed new acne pits that weren't noticeable before and now they appeared to look even deeper. I sugges microdermabrasion probably works for those with clear skin or minor red acne scars. But I feel that this is not a good treatment for those that have cystic acne w/ current acne pit scarring. I tried Juvederm yesterday and so far the results are great. Contact me if you want before & after pictures. |
