I just started the microdermabrasion treatments 4 weeks ago and so far I like the results. I have hyperpigmentation, shallow indentations and moderate acne. The microdermabrasion has helped to even out my indentations....after 2 treatments!!!! After my first treatment, my acne got worse, but now my acne is clearing up and the hyperpigmentation is beginning to lighten.

didnt help at all. It caused my skin layer thinner and spoilt my normal skin into sensitive type. I have never used sun screen before without any problem. After the use of mocrodermabrasion, my skin cant stand under sun even a few minutes.

I am an esthetician and perform glycolic and microdermabrasion services as well as the ususal facials. I have acne clients, mainly teanagers, that I treat on schedule every two weeks (facial with extractions, high frequency to kill the bacteria) with awewsome results. They also follow a cleansing and treatment regimen prescribed my me. I have not had anyone want microdermabrasion for ice pick scars or any scarring as of yet. I have only performed this service for sun damage. One of the most important things about microdermabrasion or glycolics is post treatment. I read in a few posts that there was darkening of the skin.

I have tried the new L'Oreal microdermabrasion kit and it is really good. Its only approx £14 and I thought I would give it a go rather than pay out loads of money for salon treatment. My skin was quite bad about a week ago (and I have had acne for 9 years, Im now 27) and although it says on the box that you shouldnt use the kit more than twice a week, I have used it every evening after my normal cleansing routine. My skin is so smooth and my acne is disappearing fast so I would recommend the L'Oreal product for sure

I had 7 sessions of laser skin rejuvenation, sugar peel, and microdermabrasion combined which all costs $1800. After the 1st 2 session everything was fine but after the 3rd session my doctor has press too hard on my face on certain spots and now I have 5 new scars from the treatment. The are dented in the skin and looks really aweful in dim lighting. I'm so sad about the whole thing and this is a certified MD.

I just had my 6th microdermabrasion for a surgical scar. I am amazed! The scar has nearly disapeared. The strength was stronger than normally done for a face but I am thrilled with the result.

Done this a while back about 10 sessions it what they reccomend. It was a tad bit of expensive and didn't do nothing to my acne scars or red marks. It was a waste of $750CDN for a package of 10. Don't waste your money on this...

I purchased a 6 session microdermabrasion series at a salon. It was about $400. It was about $200 cheaper to buy as a set than to pay as you go. One session at a time costs about $100. I just finished the series. What it helped the most with was the indented scars I had on my cheeks. I could start seeing a difference from the 1st procedure. It helped a little bit with the red marks but didn't get rid of them like I hoped. It doesn't help get rid of acne, only the after-effects. I think it was worth getting it done professionally once but too expensive to keep having it done on a regular basis. I'm planning on having a couple more treatments without purchasing the series and then I plan on using an OTC product such as Loreal's microdermabrasion kit.

Just a quick note I recently tried microdermabrasin in Toronto I am alergic to nickle and I had a very dark mark on my stomach for about two years. It had to be at least 3inches by 3inches and had scared. Anyhow it was ugly and my friend told me about a clinic on Bay Street the cost for one treatment was 100 and there was a package price to which now I think I should have purchased I have tried it once and when I seen my boyfriend a week later he was looking at me and he made a comment on my stomach I hadn't told him about the treatment but he noticed it along with my daughter and friends after on treatment no side effects I had great results and confidence
I think that Microdermabrasin does work and is worth trying out before trying all of those over price alternatives
