I purchased a package that cost more so I’m not exactly sure on what the price was for the micro's. I had 2 treatments as well as a glycolic peel so I'm not sure which one triggered a huge Roscea flair up but I do Lactic Acid peels with no problem and my guess is the... Read more

I'm pregnant and being that I have had no treatment options for depigmentation other than microdermabrasion and light peels I thought I would share my findings. Results are good, and the mask is definitely fading. The pic below is after 8 treatments (micro alternating with peel). Also... Read more

I went for the first time--explaining that i had a special event 9 days later---the girl went way too deep--after 24 hours---my Whole face scabbed over---5 days later and people still think i was dragged on the ground on concrete. I'm on medication to prevent infection. Read more

Had the micro proseedure done with a light peel for my upper lip. I do look terribly cute now if I do say so myself! My doctor recommended it after my skyntyte proceedure to finish off my new more youthful "look". The skin on my face and neck GLOWS! Yes there was some extra pinkness... Read more

After my 3rd pregnancy my brown spots covered my cheeks. With the Micropeels I have removed my spots along with my daily cleaning regiment. The staff especially Betty was very helpful in determining the plan of treatment. I continue to get my micropeels once a month to keep my skin looking young... Read more

Went for my 1st microdermabrasion (vacuum) treatment. It was awful. I took before, during and after pics and Im still going 3 days later. I have normal skin, rarely any break outs, minimal lines (Im 34). I have always wanted to do microdermabrasion. I wish I never had. I did the micro and a peel... Read more

For reference skin type and colour: very dry, flaky, tan. 8th Dec 2012. Had my first session of facial and felt so great about it. I noticed that my very flaky skin on my left side cheeks was a bit smoother than before. I am thinking to get another session or to complete the 6 sessions of... Read more

I am trying to lighten dark spots on my face from melasma and the sun. I am too dark to have laser treatments. I have been using a prescription hydroquinone for about five weeks and it has been quite helpful. A friend and I went to have microdermabrasion and facials at a spa owned by her... Read more

I have a great skin due to great spa treatments but I went to try a microdermabrasion on a doctor's office where she used a professional machine called MegaPeel for doctors. The crystals went to my noise and eyes and after the treatment my skin WAS DRY LIKE A WALL. I don't recommend.... Read more

I had a mixto laser procedure 2 months ago that left my skin gritty, oily & covered in bumps & pustules. I was unhappy & my Dr's "hush up" solution was micro. HUGE MISTAKE! Not only did it exacerbate oil production, but it made my pores look like gaping holes in some places & I... Read more

I am in my 30’s and had a dull complexion with a little bit of sun damage. Dr. Gidon advised a series of microdermabrasion treatments and I am so pleased with the way my skin looks now. She recommended a sunscreen for me to use every morning and Retin A cream. I plan on having a... Read more

I got a series of 4 Diamond Microdermabrasion on Groupon and have used one so far. It was a typical experience and they extracted some hard oil pimples in my pores. I have noticed my pores are smaller and face very silky after the treatment. However I did experience a few pimples poping out a... Read more

If you have acne scars,scars,uneven skin tone,dull looking skin or what have you then definitely give it a shot. It is definitely worth the money. When the provider is doing your procedure and you feel pain you can ask them to lighten up. You should never be bleeding or in pain after a microderm... Read more

I got this procedure to even out skin tone and have a 'fresh' look. I have had microdermabrasion previously with no problems, but his time this esthetician went really deep on one area of my face and caused a terrible scar. It is a year out and it is still there. Make sure you have... Read more

The microdermabrasion was a pleasant experience, and my skin definitely felt softer and smoother for a couple of weeks. But other than that, it didn't seem to do a thing to even skin tone or reduce wrinkles. Read more

I had my first microdem and I love it ! I have trusted Shree skincare for years and have also done laser lip and threading with her. My face started getting dry and blotchy and I figured I needed to do something to get rid of all the dead skin cells. Lakshimi recommended a facial ($60) with... Read more

One day when I was online, I saw an ad for American Laser Center and entered to win free laser hair removal. Later they called, and apparently I won but I would have to pay a little extra because whatever I won wouldn't cover the entire treatments needed. I went down to the place, and then... Read more
