Cons:
Results extremely temporary...within a few hours, my skin felt oily and greasy.
I've only had one treatment, so I can't vouch for results after a series of treatments. However, I will not splurge on this...I wans't impressed. Initially, I was thrilled--my skin felt unbelievably soft and smooth, and the skin esthestician said this would really help reduce pore appearance and oilyness. Ummm...no. I became even oilier than usual...my skin felt very sticky and greasy.

Pros:
Soooo, the procedure only lasted like 15 minutes. It does not hurt at all! My face felt a little hot when she was done but it cooled off before I left the Dr's office. It was also a little pink but NOT inflammed or red (yes biracial folks can get red
Cons:
ITS PRICEY BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT IF IT WORKS...NOT TO MUCH RESEARCH ON IT JUST YET
***** I GOT THE HYDRAFACIAL***** From all that I have gathered this is a new type of treatment. Im guessing that it stems from microdermabrasion. I saw a aesthetician today and got it done because I'm NOT confident that these Doxycycline pills are going to work. I also told her that I have tried everything (reg facial, proactive, otc cleansers, vitamins) and needed to get some results. Im 30 and tierd of breaking out. I cant get laser or other treatments for fear of hyperpimentation.

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:
Not painful, left skin very soft and smooth
