I have had microdermabrasion for years. but should i get dermabrasion for longer lasting results? what's the difference between microdermabarsion and dermabrasion?
There are many forms of microdermabrasion, but all of them are very superficial. A simple version could be considered "sand blasting" the skin, and cleans out pores. It is generally performed by aestheticians. True dermabrasion is when a high speed drill with a diamond bur is used to lower the level of your skin. It is a surgical procedure only performed by physicians, and does result in bleeding. It is very useful for deep lines, but it has a significant recovery period (it is very similar to a second-degree burn). I generally only use this technique around the mouth for very deep set lip-stick lines in patients undergoing full facial rejuvenation. Nothing else works quite as well in these circumstances.

I had dermabrasion done at the beginning of this summer. My dermatologist said my scars were deep enough that the laser would not make enough of a difference. I am still healing (it's August), just redness. I still have my ice pick scars and am disappointed by this. The dermabrasion did improve my scars but not the deeper ones. I would like to try something else, laser.? Any advice?
Ice pick scarring is a difficult problem to correct. There are several treatments I will use for patients with ice pick scarring. The first is to use a punch biopsy tool to elevated the skin around the scar. The incision is then allowed to heal and about 3-4 weeks later, I use either dermabrasion or dermasanding to smooth the area. Another option is a process called subcision. The basic ides is to use some type of needle to undermine the scar and then fill the area to prevent the scar from reforming. The filler can be either a temporary or permanent filler, though often even a temporary filler will produce a permanent result. The last option is direct excision. This produces excellent results and sometimes needs to be combined with dermabrasion or dermasanding.
