Microdermabrasion

- I did 5 microdermabrasion sessions over the period of 4 months. - Important to note: The condition of my skin at the time was very mild acne (I got the odd zit). I was mainly going to address my red acne scars. Plus I was hoping to have overall better looking skin texture (that glow we all want). - After my first treatment I didn't notice much of a difference in the scarring but my skin felt great and clean. The microdermabrasion did not cause any further acne. - After the second and third treatment I kept taking photos of my skin and noticed that my cheeks had a nice glow to them and the scarring was indeed starting to fade. - I stopped after 5 treatments because I just couldn't afford the $125 each session. - Now that I make more money I am going to start going for more treatments. Living in a big city with lots of pollution I think this is a great alternative to a facial for someone that want's to focus on minimizing acne scars rather than just extractions. If you go to a good spa, they will play relaxing music, do extractions if you need it, and use a cool gel on your face after so that you leave with barely any redness on your face. - I recommend microdermabrasion for anyone who is patient (doesn't need a quick fix for getting rid of scarring) as this procedure won't clear skin after one treatment. You will definitely see results after a 4-5 treatments. I didn't notice until I starting taking photos of my skin. -It isn't invasive so the risk is minimal. - I recommend going somewhere reputable rather than whoever has the cheapest price. I hope this helps!

It's already been 3 weeks or so, and my cheeks area that had digusting redness and tiny pimples are gone. Acne scars have reduced dramatically, and are fading. Made my skin look healthier and lighter. They also gave me a product to use daily that can whiten acne scars and fight acne. So far so good. My face had been a bit dry lately, but apparantly it's because it's trying to fight the existing acne underneath my skin, trying to dry it out is the best way. I'm probably going to make another appointment next month and let my mom pay. :)

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.

Someone recommended microdermabrasion to me to help get rid of the slight scars/brown spots I have on my face, so I decided to give it a shot. I went a few times and it cleared up the scars I had on one side of my face completely! The other side was always worse than the other so it will take a bit more time. It leaves your face smooth and really does work over time. Very pleased with it so far!

I was skeptical about getting it, but boy am I glad I did. I didn't notice much of a difference after the first treatment (but my friends said I was glowing). Well, after the second treatment I definitely noticed the fading of my scars! I'm thrilled (and it's only been two weeks!) The place I go to uses an exfoliating mask, then a diamond tip laser, then a pigmentation machine, then follows up with a vitamin C treatment. I think that's why they can guarantee such great results in every patients (and it's perfect for people like me that only have a few little scars- results are pretty much instant). Would recommend this to anyone with light, stubborn acne scars and/ or a lot of cash to spare.

Well it would be nice to go in for 20 min and walk out with absolutely no acne scars but until someone invents a miracle machine i'll be settling for microderm. I've done 2 treatments so far. I do not see a huge improvement on my scars but before i started treatments i would always have 2-3 active pimples on my face. I'm noticing for at least 2 weeks after treatment i don't get any breakouts. Maybe one but over the course of 2 weeks that's not bad! My skin is smooth, it just feels clean. I go to a cosmetic center, they use a diamond tipped wand and apply lotion afterwards to calm down the skin. I have no pain when she's working on my face. I wouldn't recommend for someone with widespread active acne. If you have one or two at the time, it's not bad. But i noticed the one time i had an active pimple the wand and pressure she applied made it like pop under the skin, so there was just a dried-blood color spot there for a few days!

First time I paid 150.00$ and had less extreme acne, so it worked pretty well on the scars. Now my acne has gotten more severe and it no longer works like it use to, so I suggest only using it if your acne is light to mild moderate.

I got my first microderm on wednesday. It inflamed my face at first, but it was faded by the next morning. It really helped because I had so much dead skin and my pores were really clogged. I am hoping that with the more treatments I get, the more it will fade my red marks=D

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.

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!
