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.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. get an at home kit if you want to try it.

caused cystic acne
I've had had mainly clear skin all of my life just suffering from hormonal breakouts. I never had had cystic pimples all of my life, maybe one or 2 my entire life and a week after getting Microderm I have gotten 4. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or not or when it will go away? I wanted to start getting Microderm more regularly but if this is what happens then I'll pass. My skin was completely clear before getting it and now it is absolutely freaking out.

Not worth it at all - biggest regret of my life!
Growing up I had hormonal acne during puberty. After 17, it all cleared up until I was 23. I got closed comedones all over my forehead as a reaction to a new make up product. In search of finding a solution, I had micro dermabtasion done to help - BIGGEST MISTAKE - not only did this not help, it caused SEVERE milia all across my chin and mouth area. Sandpaper feeling all over my "beard" area. Eventually, a nizoral shampoo mask and benzoyl peroxide gel daily mix cleared my forehead. But I was left with the WORST acne of my life. This milia has been persistent and has taken months to finally "almost" not even fully clear. I had to get on Retin-A .05 to unclog these suckers and even worse they turn into inflamed pustules, Whiteheads, some cysts .. just terrible. As the texture is getting better I'm stuck with hyperpigmentation and dark spots across my chin. I haven't been able to leave the house in almost 3 months and I am struggling to find hope but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel slowly but surely. This treatment is not worth the risks, please stay away. I wish I did. I forgot to mention, i actually have very thick skin. It can tolerate a lot and it's very oily. So I didn't think I would have side effects, boy I was wrong!

Hi, how is it doing now?
I have similar results and it’s been almost three months now since the microdermabrasion.

I have recently gotten a microdermabrasion as well and have been getting milia all over my cheeks and forehead... What did you do to get rid of it?

Pros:
Works slightly, shrinks some pores.
Cons:
It's really a waste of money. I agree with some of the other people here who've been ripped off. I had 8 sessions of this, which cost me nearly £500 ($1000), and it only made my acne worse. My face was red, parts were bleeding, and I couldn't go out
I think that a chemical peel is a better idea.

Pros:
Supposed to clear up acne
Cons:
I have very sensitive skin (didn't know it before demabrasion)
Made my acne so much worse
Left me with bad hyperpigmentation
I did not realize how much worse my skin could get until I tried home micro-dermabrasion. It was a tool and a little jar of cream with superfine crystals. It was a worse reaction than using a facial scrub. Since I had such a strong reaction to it I really cannot recommend it to anyone unless perhaps you do it under a doctor's care. My plastic surgeon says that the home kits are just too rough for people with active acne. I believe him.. I had worse dark marks and pimples after using this. There is no way to score zero, but if I could I would.
Pros:
um, none
