Dermaplanning was done by the aesthetician at this doctor's office and she ruined my face. This procedure is suppose to be a procedure with no down time. At the time I noticed the bleeding/redness, but it was downplayed. Woke up the next morning with deep cuts ALL over my face (24 cuts total).... Read more

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

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. So what else can a person do? It has only been 41/2 wks since my dermabrasion but I am hoping I didn't mess... Read more

I had a few very minor wrinkles around my lip. i'm not sure if the dermabrasion procedure was worth it yet, if i have to keep covering the pink color with makeup, i'd say no, still being patient hoping final result will be an improvement. now 4.5 months post surgery and... Read more

Pros: Not Worth it Cons: Very Painful Asian with dark skin had dermabrasion 7 months ago, no improvement at all. I wish that i didn't have the procedure. I blame myself for not doing enough research about the side effects. Please help. My new skin is too white, it doesn't blend... Read more

Had bad acne as a teen which left scars, uneven skin, and purple marks from the "blood pockets". The dermabrasion made a dramatic change. No more purple marks and much more even skin. Had a second dermabrasion at 42 years old. Wanted to remove the fine lines and even out the skin... Read more

My dermabrasion was done in an outpatient surgery center by a plastic surgeon. I was put to sleep while it was done. My face was raw and took between one and two weeks to heal. Then my skin was red for months which had to be hidden with makeup. Then my face was somewhat hypopigmented and... Read more

spent $4,000 in Atlanta, GA Updated 5 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

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

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

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
