I am having a moment of weakness because it seems so much is not under my control at this moment.    I had my last dressing taken off this morning.  My face is raw, blood...

Sword, nice to hear that you are doing well. A few questions though. I too am asian and a derm here said that due to my skin tone, I was at high risk for hypopigmentation if I got a full facial derm...

This has been quite an amusing week at acne.org   Just take some time to think about this product. I mean really think about it! Reason! I can't believe people are defending it and buying i...

This board is full of extremes if nothing else. In one corner we have the dermabrasion  people who swear that paying thousands of dollars to have your face scraped off does wonders for sc...

For those of you who just had dermabrasion, I wanted to make sure you knew you cannot use accutane until six months post-op; you can develop scarring!      ← ...

Hi shade, I think I switched around day 18 or 19. I started using the Palmade stuff around day 13 and the breakouts started coming. Now I only use the Palmade stuff at night before going to bed and th...

Hey buddy, you always seem to crack me up! You cult guy you. Joking.   I myself got a couple zits, maybe a total of 10-15 but all on seprate days. I though this was weird because I hardly got 10 ...

shade, hows your healing going? still seeing improvement, any regrets in getting it done at all?     ←    

Ok, you guys are gonna think i'm crazy, but I went ahead and prdered it. They are giving me a very cheap price for it. I am not wasting a lot of money on it at least. I presently do not have a skin ...

So just above the surrounding skin is the best?     ←    

Are punch floats possible without doing dermabrasion? I have 2 scars that I am contemplating punch float or Bio-Alcamid, but i don't want or need dermabrasion.     ←    

Shade will you be posting any before and after pics?     ←    

so shade the punch floats are a good idea? also you had the floats done on icepicks and boxcars? how are they looking after dermabrasion?

This to me is bad news, i thought you could get another dermabrasion 6 months after your last, I'm getting my first full face dermabrasion in April, and i was hoping i could get another one in Novembe...

shade so your punch floats didn't turn out well?     ←    

BTW- Theres a patch of dark dark dark pink skin on my right cheek about an inch long and 1/4" wide that refuses to fade. Its actually part of the demarcation line. The oppositte cheek in this spot has...

I had to post to be the 1000 lucky poster. LOL     ←    

to all that have done dermabrasion and have received minimal improvement, in what type of scarring had this been? I would see how rolling scars would be hard to smooth out   But what about icepic...

Since a guy on another thread has just brought Dermal grafting to the boards attention   it would be interesting to hear Dr Y's opinion on it. If any of his patients could ask what   he thi...
