i had about 5 micro-derm sessions for 100 bucks each. i'm a college student and they gave me a discount. remember to ask!!! and remember to tell him/her to increase the level to at least 7 the first time and 10 by the third time. trust me, better results. at least a 10-20% after. but sadly, the results do not last unless you get them 1 every couple of months. by 3 months, my shallow indentations returned, and i was right back where i started.
i recently had subcision done. AMAZING! if you don't have ice pick scarring, this procedure will smooth out scarring considerably. my scars are about 80% improved after the 1st treatment. risks include overcorrection, but that's rare. there was bruising and swelling, but who cares? the point is i really like the skin i'm in and feel so much better about myself. everything changes. your personality. your outlook on life. it's so weird what an affect acne scarring has on your life, and mine wasn't even that bad. anyways, please consider it.

I have mixed feelings about microdermabrasion. I am a teenager with acne prone skin, and, after a breakout, I am always left with stubborn "blemishes" (I call them scars, but they are not indented/permanent) that take several weeks to fade completely. I used microdermabrasion to fade these marks so that I did not have them on top of new pimples. When I first left the salon, I was amazed at the results. My skin felt better than it has in years--clean and radiant. They say you need up to several treatments to fade blemishes and scars, but, by the next day, I was amazed to see that my stubborn marks were GONE--yes, completely! HOWEVER--the treatment supposedly brings all your skin's impurities to the surface. And wow, I had more impurities than I had thought; my triumph (and self confidence) was shattered when, just the day after my treatment, I broke out worse than I had in months... The breakout is clearing, but now I am back to square A: new scars. I want to get rid of them, but I'm afraid to do more microderm because I don't want to break out again... :(
