Hi How long did your strips stay on? Dr Y told me to gently pull them off on day 7. A couple came off earlier in sleep. I wish I had thought of pillows. I'm guessing that I lost the graft on th...

I had punch floats with Dr. Y in January and they did not "take" - there are really only 2 that bother me - do you think I should try it once more? It seems the easiest way to rid myself of the ice pi...

Hi guys,   Finally back with an update, RL has been pretty busy lately and I got lazy with the updates...sorry about that! The floats have healed nicely, pretty much like the first round. When I ...

Hey animegirl! Just wondering how your punches are coming along after the one week mark? I hope BEAUTIFULLY!!!!!!!!!! Everything is looking very well. I seemed to have healed quicker this time ar...

Day 5 update. Most of the steri-strips are off and the areas seem to be healing nicely. I will have to take a better picture of the right side, it turned out a bit blurry.     On the co...

Is this your last treatment? I mean at some point you are going to be satisfied right? I mean I would hate to see you on here at 50 talking about your 22nd dermabrasion and your 519th punch float ....

Well guys I had a second round of punch floats with Dr. Y on Tuesday (03/28/06). I will update my progress in this old thread instead of starting a new one. I had 12 floats total...6 on each side. I w...

I have a consultation with a derm who used fraxel in Atlanta tomorrow and want to know the right questions to ask. Thanks! Dublin I am in Atlanta..which doc are visiting? If you would rather pm t...

I'm considering having dermabrasion done, but I'm paranoid of picking a plastic surgeon that's a hack. Who is DR. Y. I've read about a Dr. Yarborough on other acne dermabrasion sites, is this who y...

Happy Healing Sword!

Sending good thoughts your way today Portland Boy!

I am going to see them again in Jan. just to let him take some post-op photos. He also removed a pre-cancerous lesion from my husband's chest during the last visit, so I want him to follow up with tha...

Great News! I wish you a speedy recovery!!!

Alright guys!... Punch floats in the morning.   I have cold feet, but I'm gonna do it anyway!    

Oops, I forgot to mention that Animegirle, you are beautiful.   I am scarred and even without the scars I am not pretty.   I hope you are getting excellent results.       ← ...

You should eat before the procedures.

You can get zinc oxide at Walgreens or any pharmacy. It should be located in the first aide aisle. I have found that it helps dry pimples and causes them to come to a head faster. Are you still using ...

So at least with Dr. Y, if an icepick scar is punch elevated, followed by dermabrasion, then the icepick will have virtually disappeared entirely?     ←    

  Animergirle- be sure to keep those post derma pics coming   Does he do any preparation for boxcar scars?     ←    

A quesiton, what scars are best improved with dermabrasion? As i have read icepicks after the floats and dermabrasion dissapear almost completely, but what about boxcars? or saucer like scars.   ...

I had active acne at the time I had my first dermabrasion with no resulting complications. I found that I actually had a reduction in breakouts after each procedure. Ususally a breakout will occur aft...

Guys you can check out reviews for the Aveeno products Here.

  But...my skin is beginning to really break out; no blemishes that come to the surface, but quite a few little nodules/cysts deep under my skin.   I have no idea why I'm breaking out, but ...

By the way, would you guys consider dermabrasion an option even though you're only 19?  

Hi guys,   I am back from N.O. and fresh from the dermabrasion. I will answer all the questions left from this post. I will be starting a new thread outlining the dermabrasion procedure and will ...
