“Very Bad Experience - New Port Richey, FL”

Hi Britt----yes I went back and was told this is "normal"---i have spoken to both men and woman that have had this multiple times from different people and they have "never ever" experienced anything even close to this- My event is in 2 days----I am using everything to keep the face hydrated---I hope it works-- I would like to know if this is so normal why have i never seen any before and after pictures with these results?

I have had microdermabrasion and Vibradermabrasion many times at salons, medi spa and dermatologist office NEVER have I experienced anything more then very slight flaking, the price you paid is also ridiculously high so not sure if something could be different. If this really was from a dr maybe it worth persuing legal action

It looks to me - from the result and the price - that you got Dermabrasion, not microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is about $150 on average and isn't the same thing as dermabrasion (which I didn't think they even did anymore).

I had a similar experience. I didn't get an infection. But I had about 10 super red lines on my face following my second micro-dermabrasion treatment. In that treatment the Teachers assistant entered the room during the process and turned the power up. When I returned a week later to complain about the spots the Teachers Assistant when asked by the owner of the school if she used the lightest setting outright lied. Dozens of phone calls and run-around and two months later.. The scars are still visible at about 50%. I have been trying to fade them using a fade cream for a month. Next month I confess I will consult a dermatologist to see what the dermatologist can do. What I learned as result of this process..don't go to school for this procedure...If you are African American ensure that your treatment is performed by somoeone who understands that they lightest setting is the only one that is safe, and that they understand that they must overlap the passes, they can't lift the tool or you will have track marks on face if you react.

I've had the Microderm abrasion to many times to count with good results always, even on the highest setting which I've also had your expeience seems extreme, are you sure it wasn't Dermabrasion?? in any event I hope all is well now and also for the event you had to go to back then... "-)
