Kiki,   You must be very discouraged at this point. I'm so sorry things didn't turn out better. You and John Sydney were instrumental in getting me to go ahead and get dermabrasion with Dr. Y. ...

Wantperfectskin, I flew in on Monday night, had Tuesday morning dermabrasion with follow ups on Wednesday and Thursday. I left New Orleans on Saturday morning. You will have to wear a mask traveling...

Skiing burns are remarkably similar to the dermabrasion redness. You are wearing a turtleneck and glasses! Just say you been up at Vail for a couple of days...you know it has 300 days of sunshine a ...

Jilly410 Dr. Y told me he only does dermabrasions on Mon. and Tues. because you have to return to the office after 24 hrs for a dressing change...then return 48hrs after that for an additional and fin...

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?   Also does anyone know near where is dr.y's office locat...

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...

Hey Miss Shady...indeed the medications are as Portlandboy & Leopolda stated! Be persistent with that secretary, in fact ask her to pass you through to Cassandra or Dr. Y direct!   By the wa...

Leafsfan, glad you're healing and I hope you see enhancement in the coming months!   Ravenblack - I think you should consider speaking with Dr. Y directly. He has 30 years experience and could p...

Amnesiac, Dr. Y told me that dermabrasion is most effective on rolling type scars. He also told me that he's a little concerned about mis-information spreading about punch floats. FYI Dr. Y said tha...

Full face derm w/ Dr. Y on Dec. 28....came home last night. I have just a couple of comments, and hope to expand my post in the coming days as I have a lot to take care of at the time being.   D...

Hello Shade,   I certainly didn't mean to put a damper on your pre-op spirits.  I sincerely wish you all the best with it.  To reiterate, my scarring was relatively shallo...

Portlandboy, I've been out of town for the holiday the last couple of days. I'm so glad things are going well! I was getting a little worried about ya! Can you tell me, how often did you go to Dr....

Portland, how long are you staying in N.O.? I have to get back on the plane on day 4. I was hoping to wear a mask on the plane.   Anyone had derm and left on day 4? Thanks.

I think I'll spring for a cab ride to be safe....thanks for your comments!   Portlandboy, I do think some women have a higher threshold for pain...I've had Dr.'s (dentists and M.D.'s) tell me so....

Portlandboy, listen, don't worry about passing out........I'll be doing the same when the receptionist gives me the invoice. (ha ha) Hey, did you take a cab from 15 miles away? If so, what did it...

Portlandboy, congratulations! Surely the worst is over and you'll be healing each day I'm surprised that Dr. Y was "agressive" on you because it didn't seem like your scarring was very deep. It w...

Portlandboy,   You are going to do just fine. See if Dr. Y can give you headphones to listen to as a distraction. It will all be over soon enough! Good luck tomorrow!

Kiki,   I'm so sorry to hear your improvement has lessened over time. Did your rolling scars have much depth to them, or were they shallow? I'd be curious to know how Poe and Johnsydney are doi...

Portlandboy,   Thanks so much for the info. I already purchased airline tickets & am trying to get a package deal for hotel and car. Can you tell me is there a particular area I should stay...

Portlandboy,   Hey, I'll be in New Orleans Dec. 28th thru Jan. 1st. I'm holding out for better room rates, so I don't know where I'll be staying yet. I'd sure like to check in with you when I'm...

Thank you all for hotel tips! Much appreciated!

Hey Morris,   Did you find a good rate on your hotel? I'm scheduled for Dec. 28th...I'm having a hard time finding a room for a good rate because I'm staying over New Year's Eve. Holiday prices...

Curious, I sure appreciate the information. I may get a consultation from a local doctor to see if I'm a candidate for punch floats. I wouldn't be able to travel to N. O. twice in 2 months, but ma...

Sunblock, how did you know which scars to have punch floats on? Dr. Y said I didn't need punch floats, but maybe my camera didn't reveal enough for him to make an accurate assessment. I can't discern...

I have depressed acne scars, and Dr. Y told me I would receive significant improvement with dermabrasion.
