Cons:
Did nothing for my scarring.
For me, was not an effective treatment for the few pock marks on my face.

Pros:
Worked great! Cheeks looks smoother.
Cons:
Expensive.
Well, I just had one session last week. My skin looks fabulous! Best thing I've done all year. My pores are quite enlarged and I had red marks on my face from pregnancy (elevated estrogen) and old acne. This leveled out all the pores and made my skin beautiful again. They also did IPL treatment on my redmarks and poof! they were gone instantly. My skin looks beautiful. I've been using BHA and antioxidant moisturizer and after spending the last few days in a heavy Skinceutical's SPF 30 they gave me to use I'm going to continue that regimen to keep the pores clean and healing. Probably won't do it again, since the derm suggested that a salycylic acid peel might help more, so I'm going to do that in a month. I'm also considering (after the peel) going on a prescribed retinoid to change the shape of my pores a bit.

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:
Leaves your skin smooth during the treatment
Cons:
Half way through 5 treatments my skin broke out worse than before i started having it but it cleared up at the end of the course, a few months later i was back to square one with mild acne. Does not doing anything with regards to closing pores or a
I payed £27 for five treatments which is not worth it, it is just a massive con that breaks you out in more spots, tbf the only thing that will help your acne are vitamin supplements, don't bother withj this treatment it will just give you false hope.

Pros:
works well with ice pick scars (gradual process) helps rebuild skin
Cons:
takes time i cant say costly as ive done it myslef and persoanlly i think its cheap
what is confusing is that people are still using this WITH acne . of course its gonna flare up your skin you will break the very sensitive skin barrier and make it worse. it would be like doing it to cut. ive done 4 treaments roulghy every 2 weeks it has worked its not a miracle though. its left my skin on my neck red for 3 days now (this is noraml right) when i do a treament the flowing morning i wake with very flat skin but its slightly rough im assuimng this dead skin that i need to take off right or will the skin heal im not sure

Pros:
I had a series of vibradermabrasions (a new microderm without the crystals). I was really impressed with the results. My skin is smooth and it helped reduce my dry skin as well. I am doing a series of 7 spaced 10 days apart. I love it.
Cons:
It costs about $140 a pop! But if you buy a package, they will give you a discount. The money was worth it to me and I would spend it again in heartbeat.
I love vibradermabrasion!. I get them done at a place called forever young day spa in cooper city by a young lady named Yoni. I have gone to many spas, but they are by far the best. They have helped my skin tremendously, and have also improved my self confidence.

Pros:
I used a manual microdermabrasion cream called EPIIDERM PROFESSIONAL STRENGTH, from a regular seller on Ebay. What an amazing cream! At this cost I was worried at how effective it would really be.. Great skin, less scarring already A+++
Cons:
You do need to massage it in for 3-5mins each time, initially twice a day.. then less often as you see results. There isn't much cream for the money.. 60gms.. but enough to last 2wks. Skin a little red initially but no itchiness or sideeffects really
I think if you suffer from bad acne, almost severe, have many scars from it, and frequent breakouts, this natural product works very very well. It contains crystals to abrase the skin and remove dry skin, smooth out the contours, and the ingredients prevent further breakouts. It works in many ways, and all in the comfort of home. Will be buying my second tub now.. and in another 2 weeks I will be almost ready to appear with my top off at the beach. Confidence is now back.. and I love the fact that I didn't lose faith and tried this cream. P.S. You will need someone to apply it for you if you have back acne as I did.. difficult to work the cream in those areas. But great results!! :)

acne scars removed.
August 25, 2008
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!!!
February 18, 2008
Pros:
smooth skin, smaller pores etc etc etc but if you want to get rid of acne forever...
ACCUTANE IS A MIRACLE WORKER! use it for 4-5 months and u will NE VER have acne again!! ACCUTANE ACCUTANE ACCUTANE ACCUTANE!!!
acne dissapears within 3 weeks!!
Cons:
none
I cant believe so many of you had bad experiences with MICRODERMABRASION!!!
I LOVE IT! I think its great! My facialist does the micro treatment, then steams my face , gives me a mini glycolic peel and then does extractions, the microderm removes all the dead skin , so if you do extractions immediately after, it is a lot easier and less painful. The only down time is the redness caused by the extractions ( squeezing ) and the peel, and its gone the next day. Other than that ur face is a little red for a couple of hours. Definitely not weeks like some people mentioned, well at least not for me. It only makes sense that if u remove the dead skin from ur face , it reveals newer , softer one. i usually do it once a month and the cost including the peel and extractions is 130.00$
IMPORTANT==== make sure u go somewhere reputable, if its done wrong, obviously u wont have good results. If its too cheap (innexpensive) beware...i believe that in many cases u get wha
Pros:
Made my skin look smoother and more supple.
