Cons:
Slight reddening of the skin afterwards. Not sure if this is a con or not. Some people might think you look "glowing". Like everyone says though, it's expensive. I think it's worth it if you're in your late 30s like I am.
The actual treatment, to me, feels great! It's like getting a great back scratching but on your face. Living in New York City leaves me feeling like I'm walking around with a layer of dirt and filth on my skin. This feels like it's getting off all the grime and grit. I hear that more than one treatment is needed to see the full results but I feel that it's already done something. It takes time for the new skin cells to reach the top surface and begin healing and making any noticeable difference. So I'm not sure what some people are complaining about when they say it's not working after only having gone once. There's some slight reddening but I assume that will fade with time.

Pros:
Helping to reduce current acne, past scares and redness are practically gone. The skin around my acne is the best it has ever been.
Cons:
Discomfort, and peeling for the week or so afterwards.
I am doing this to treat my current acne and past scars. So far it has been very successful in treating my past scars. I have not had a problem and would highly recommend this. For those who have had problems are you going to a licensed and trained enestician who has the proper medical training? If so I can't see why there are so many problems. The only huge downside is the cost. I have a package of 6 treatments for now. Maybe more in the future? My treatment is also followed by a peel.

Pros:
Bright Skin , Smooth Complexion, Smaller Pores
Cons:
Stinging for a few hours, Redness
Worth it - can def see the difference and feel more confident. I am 35 yrs old - have no acne whatsoever but did have in my teens, I picked my spots despite being told not to and got left with deep scars and marks. i have a pretty face and would feel so much more confident without this on my face. Have been having microdermabrasion facials for a few years now - def makes skin look much better and makeup goes on more easily. Recently I changed my salon and starting going to a different lady, she uses a differnet machine and was a bit stronger pressure of crystals - wow - I can already see more difference in one session than I have seen in last few years - def worth it. 5 days on I can still feel a slight stinging - but thats good as it tells me something is working! I'm gonna take six sessions in a row and see if it makes my skin better. I already feel better , I wore my hair up today!

Pros:
No downtime, effective at healing redness, not painful, leaves skin softer.
Cons:
Can be a bit expensive, im finding that it is begining to make my skin a bit worser but my skin specialist said it does take time for maximum results as ive only just started the treatments combined: glycolic peels, omnilux blue(bacteria killer)& red
Try it and stick with it for about 6-8 treatments till u see the results. And get it done by a specialist.

Pros:
gets rid of acne faster than any topical cream ive used. helps scarring-- skin feels much cleaner and fresh afterwards
Cons:
dryness 2 to 3 days after. skin is sensitive for a couple days also.
my dermatologist reccommended it and also reccommended putting me on spuronalactone (forgive my spelling) it is medicine for blood pressure but he said it eliminated the male horomone in my skin that causes horomonal acne and it has worked great. the topical he gave me was called azelex and it also works very well.
he also told me something i was doing wrong making my acne worse and i was using dial and ivory soap to wash my face with and he said that was one of the worst things i could rub on my face he reccomended neutrogena facial soap or equate soap and ever since i changed soaps it has made a huge difference. he also mentioned mineral makeup helps- he said almay, sheer cover would be a good choce and said to never use clinique or estee lauder because they have recently changed their chemicals and it causes worse breakouts and skin irritation for some people

Pros:
Completely healed all acne and scars after 2 treatments
Cons:
Expensive
I had terrible acne for years and tried all sorts of solutions. Nothing worked permanently until I tried microderm. After the first treatment my skin looked better but I still had breakouts. Slightly better results at the 2nd treatment. The third treatment completely stopped my acne cold. I no longer have to use benz-peroxide or sal-acid at all. My face just doesn't get acne anymore.

Pros:
Microdermabrasion is verry good for all skin types.Clears acne and scarring; your face feels extremely smooth after but if you have sensitive skin you may have problems (leaves your skin red afterwards(only for about 2-4 hours)
The best microdermabrasion product is MICRODERMX from Nichel Holistic SkinCare!!! Great product...love it!!!
July 28, 2008
Pros:
I found it to be very effective for clearing my acne scars (red marks) and helping prevent new breakouts.
Cons:
Pricey, I paid around $380 for 5 treatments. May be too harsh if your skin is very sensitive or if you're currently using creams that dry your skin out.
Not a long-term solution for active acne, but very effective at eliminating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (red marks and dark spots) relatively quickly.

Pros:
I had my first treatment and I've already notice a different. It left my skin feeling smoother and refreshed. In fact, I'm already seeing my acne scars diminishing. I was told that after 3 treatments, I will see a huge result, which I can't wait.
Cons:
Expensive
Anything to reduced sign of aging, diminished acne scarring is worth the price!
April 5, 2008
Pros:
Clears acne and scarring, and your face feels extremely smooth after.
Cons:
Your face is red and sensitive for a couple hours after.
Extremely worth it, especially if it is covered under your insurance like me. I saw results after my second one!
Pros:
Treatment itself feels great! Face feels smooth and polished and very clean. Evened out my blotchy skin color. Fine lines are reduced.
