: Hi guys,

: Has anyone here ever had microdermabrasion done? Can someone please tell me about their experience?

: Did it visibly improve the appearance of your skin?
: Does it help large pores to look smaller?
: Does it help very mild acne scarring?
: How does it make your skin feel afterward?
: Were you pleased with it overall?

: My dermatologist is offering the PowerPeel, and I'm very interested. But at $150 a session, I'd thought I'd do some research first.

: I'd appreciate ANY comments or suggestions.

: Happy Holidays to you all!!
: Angela

I think what people seem to forget about microdermabrasion is that it is progressive not aggressive so when they don't see results instantly they give up.
Yes, they are pricy but alot dictates your lifestyle. There is no down time with these peels. They are a dry peel so no chemicals are put on your face.
I have had several but I didn't start to see results until the 8th peel. The literature states that as many as 10-20 may be needed depending on the depth
of the problem. It can run into alot of money but for someone like me (my skin is extremely sensitive) I cannot do chemical peels and don't want the
down time of laser.
