zit HATER, montreal Feb 17th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: smooth skin, smaller pores etc etc etc but if you want to get rid of acne forever... ACCUTANE IS A MIRACLE WORKER! use it for 4-5 months and u will NE VER have acne again!! ACCUTANE ACCUTANE ACCUTANE ACCUTANE!!! acne dissapears within 3 weeks!! Cons: none Bottom Line: I cant believe so many of you had bad experiences with MICRODERMABRASION!!! I LOVE IT! I think its great! My facialist does the micro treatment, then steams my face , gives me a mini glycolic peel and then does extractions, the microderm removes all the dead skin , so if you do extractions immediately after, it is a lot easier and less painful. The only down time is the redness caused by the extractions ( squeezing ) and the peel, and its gone the next day. Other than that ur face is a little red for a couple of hours. Definitely not weeks like some people mentioned, well at least not for me. It only makes sense that if u remove the dead skin from ur face , it reveals newer , softer one. i usually do it once a month and the cost including the peel and extractions is 130.00$ IMPORTANT==== make sure u go somewhere reputable, if its done wrong, obviously u wont have good results. If its too cheap (innexpensive) beware...i believe that in many cases u get wha Recommended: Yes Usage: zit HATER has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 130.00 Was this comment helpful?

Pros: leaves skin soft and somehwat improves red marks leftover from old acne Cons: Is not a dramatic enough change to warrant the cost. Bottom Line: I had a series of 6 microdermabrasion treatments done at my dermatologists office, scheduled one month apart. My skin felt much softer nad it did help a tiny bit with old acne marks but not enough to warrant paying $70 a session. It did nothing for my melasma either. it was a nice exfoliation though but overall I think this is highly overrated. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

Sonia, London Feb 13th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: glowing, perfect skin! even on dark, indian skin! Cons: dry skin for 2-3 days after treatment also, the process is not a luxury facial...it hurts! but worth it. Bottom Line: hi everyone. I had severe acne and went on accutane ( roaccuane) which worked wondersfor my acne, but my scars remained. I tried gentler things for a yr, then 2 mths ago started having 2 wkly microdermabrasion ( CACI Chromaclear which combines it with light therapy). After the first session, i was so disappointed--my face was red, sore and very dry. I almost cancelled my second appointment---but im so glad i didn't because from the second one onward (have now had 4) my face is so fresh and smooth, the dark pigmentation from the scars and some of the pitting even is much, much less! mY face recovered quicker with each successive treatment and my face is so much better -i no longer wear make up.

Tara Jan 30th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This product is great it helped get rid of scars and clean out the pores.My skin was super soft afterwards. Cons: If your insurance doesn't cover it it is very expensive. leaves your skin red afterwards(only for about 2 hours). You have to take between 6-18 sesions depending on your skin condition. Bottom Line: I would definately recomend this because it helps your skin ALOT! My insurance covers the cost so it is very cheap for me. Due to my skin condition i only need to take 8 sessions to get the desired out come. Recommended: Yes Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pros: I got the Origins lemon & rice microdermabrasion cream. It obviously does nothing for inflamatory acne, but in one use it DRAMATICALLY reduced the size of my pores and made my skin texture smoother. in 2 weeks, my whiteheads were gone. Cons: doesn't do anything for giant zits Bottom Line: pair this with a antibiotic cream for big zits. the origins microdermabrasion gets rid of the other stuff the zit cream doesnt. it's about $45 for a tub of it that will probably last you a year Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a month.

Anonymous, NY, NY Jan 20th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have adult acne of every category(i.e. whiteheads, blackhead, papules)However, the first session I saw no improvement, but in the second session I saw massive improvement, BUT the clear skin only lasted for a two weeks. Cons: The skin becomes dependent on microdermabrasion, therefore, consistent treatment is required to see positive results. Bottom Line: Not worth the hype. There are various kinds of microdermabrasion. research before you head to the nearest salon and dermatologist. Remember: they are business men and women therefore they will give proper medical information, with results may vary per person. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a month.

I want to cry because i used to have beautiful skin before even with my acne and now i am left with ugly skin Bottom Line: save your money, and be careful who you go to. plz see a dermatologist before you do anything to your face.

stephanie, boston Dec 22nd, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: um, none Cons: do NOT get professional microderms. They are incredibly overpriced and truly do not do anything you can't do yourself. I wasted $600 and I seriously regret it. I saw NOOOO results. Bottom Line: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. get an at home kit if you want to try it. Recommended: No Usage: stephanie has used this item for a few weeks.

karen, ny Dec 14th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I started with the neutrogena 8 hour active products the exfoliater and those great pads. then moved on to their mushroom extract dermabrasion. Cons: i went through a period of extra sensitive skin peeling, and accidental scarring from overuse. Bottom Line: After one month, my brown scars have faded almost disappearing. My acne has almost stopped completely, nothing to squeeze, nothing to cover up with make-up. When I do get a pimple it is gone within a few days. It used to flair up and spread then leave a scar. To me, it is those pads. they make the biggest difference. Also, the lotion is soooo important. Recommended: Yes Usage: karen has used this item for about a month.
