| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| Pros | Affordable at home kit, quick, easy, simple, great results |
|---|---|
| Cons | Increased skin sensitivity |
| Bottom line | I have had acne for years. I've been waiting two months to start my Accutane and I'm supposed to be starting in the next couple of weeks. I've always been told that I should try to avoid deep or harsh exfoliation as it could cause bacteria to spread and scarring. I grew a little impatient while waiting for my accutane, I decided to go ahead a try Microdermabrasion. I've been using the Neutrogena kit morning AND night -daily!! My skin is smoother and the scars are fading. I've been doing this for one week and have not had but TWO pimples all week. Note that I'm getting ready to start accutane which means I've had serious acne problems that have failed to respond to other treatments. I do not remember one day where I have not had a pimple and definitely not a full week of practically clear skin. Bottom line!!! It's working for me. I'm wondering if I will even need accutane. I'm so physced. I wish I had tried this sooner. I feel so beautiful! TRY IT! |

| Pros | fresher skin, improves overall complexion |
|---|---|
| Cons | not suitable with skin having active acne |
| Bottom line | your acne needs to be stopped before you can try out this treatment. Remember this is for acne scars not acne itself.I had to wait for years to try this one out and I have to admit..it did improve my scarring...by reducing the depth of the scars.However, regular care is neccessary. There is no quick fix. Microderm along with regular skin care routin and healthy diet habbits goes a long way...I paid 275 pounds for a course of six |

| Pros | works well with ice pick scars (gradual process) helps rebuild skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | takes time i cant say costly as ive done it myslef and persoanlly i think its cheap |
| Bottom line | what is confusing is that people are still using this WITH acne . of course its gonna flare up your skin you will break the very sensitive skin barrier and make it worse. it would be like doing it to cut. ive done 4 treaments roulghy every 2 weeks it has worked its not a miracle though. its left my skin on my neck red for 3 days now (this is noraml right) when i do a treament the flowing morning i wake with very flat skin but its slightly rough im assuimng this dead skin that i need to take off right or will the skin heal im not sure |

| Pros | About ten people have told me my skin looks a lot better since I had the treatment done. Not too painful, quick recovery time, not traumatic, can do the treatments yourself |
|---|---|
| Cons | My aesthetician charges $2000 for 6 treatments (combined microderm + retin-a + ultrasonic treatments) but I learned how to do it myself so it's cheaper. |
| Bottom line | I feel very grateful that I found a treatment that helps this much when I was quoted over $5K for laser resurfacing. The scarring is not 100 percent gone but it's about 60 percent better (which is what I was told I could expect with the laser). I am experimenting with other treatments to see how much smoother it can get but am lazy about it because my skin doesn't bug me like it used to. Plus I have a hard time staying away from caffeine and I don't like to do the treatments when caffeine is in my system because I think it prevents proper healing. I highly recommend taking 6000 mg of vitamin c, plus pycnogenol and collagen supplements after micro dermabrasion because it helps the skin heal properly and proper healing is a huge part of getting a good result. I'm listing the cost as $600 because that's about how much it costs to buy your own personal microderm machine and do everything yourself. |

| Pros | Super Smooth Skin, more even tone, you can see results after as little as 1 session! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Im my opinon it is very costly, leaves skin very tight and red afer each session, but none the less still worth it! |
| Bottom line | I'm a 23yr. old African American woman with acne since adolescence. As soon as puberty hit, the acne hasn't stopped! I've tired every over-the-counter product, even used proactiv, dermatologist recommended prescriptions EVERYTHING! I could not seem to get rid of my acne. I can control the breakouts with products by using them religiously day, mid-day and evening...but the marks have never subsided. I have scars from pimples I've gotten years ago. Thus far, the treatments have lightened the dark marks in conjuction with using their formulated products (Americure). I'm on my 4th treatment and have seen good enough results to continue. I bought a package of 15 sessions at $125 each plus the cost of the products, needless to say if this doesn't work, I will heart broken at the least! |
