Laser Dermabrasion - NYC
diana villiers spent $3,000 in Manhattan, NY Updated 1 year ago
About 15 years ago, I had my entire face lasered to remove sun damage and brown spots. I did it at my dermatologist's (moneymaking) suggestion, since I had just gone in for some spot removal. It left my face looking like a skinned knee for about two terrible weeks - oozing, red and... Read more
dermabrasion ruined my life - Naperville, IL
Chicago6911 spent $2,500 in Naperville, IL Created 1 year ago
In 1995 (when I was young & stupid) I went to an acne skin care clinic and complained about my large pores, especially the ones around my nose. At that time, I never heard of lasers although they were already in use. The doctor, who represented himself as a dermatologist, told me the only... Read more

Neacy spent $500 in Amarillo, TX Created 1 year ago
I am a 54 yr old woman and I had spot dermabrasion to remove a few scars on my face. Now the scars are defintely larger and deeper. Fillers are expensive and painful, and non eneding.

My Results Were Great - Plano, TX

Then my skin was red for months which had to be hidden with makeup. Then my face was somewhat hypopigmented and... Read more

Dermabrasion Worked
bets spent $4,000 in Atlanta, GA Updated 4 years ago
I can't remember the exact cost since it was so long ago (1880's), plus some of the fee is outpatient facility and anesthesia. I had a general anesthetic so of course I didn't feel anything. I don't remember pain afterward, I don't even remember if I had pain pills afterward, but probably did. I... Read more
Learning my Lesson with Dermabrasion
danii spent $1,450 in Philadelphia, PA Updated 4 years ago
I had dermabrasion in 2000 for the fine lines around my mouth and nose. I was very dense about the treatment at the time and am ashamed to admit I rushed into it. Now I feel much more lucid and – having done my research – would actually do it again (but I would be prepared). I was a... Read more
Loved It
poocheroo spent $500 in California Updated 4 years ago
I had a mild face lift in my early 30's to deal with some sagging issues with my skin. I had a few deep lines above my upper lip and my doctor suggested I do dermabrasion on the area since I would be under anesthesia. The immediate aftermath was a little scary. My skin developed a thick... Read more
The Truth About Dermabrasion
bingham spent $600 in Essex, United Kingdom Created 4 years ago
It’s really hard to find the truth about dermabrasion online. It’s one of those great mysteries where you don’t find out what it REALLY is until you do it (like childbirth). Like, people just don’t realise how bloody, messy and painful dermabrasion is. The name makes sense – it’s... Read more
