$2,000
I've made and canceled this procedure 3 different times. My husband and my friends all feel I'm making a mistake. Even two of the women who work in the scheduling department feel I don't need to do this.They think I'm CRAZY!!! But I have so many acne scars all over my face and I would love to be rid of them forever! Dr Wallace feels that I'll be very happy. I am afraid though with all the negative opinions around me and all the bad reviews I've read on line. I pray my results are good.

Yes, please keep us updated. I am considering a spot dermabrasion on a few scars. I too get scared by what I read online. Then I remember that unhappy people are more likely to write about their experiences. For each negative review, I wonder how many happy customers are out there? Don't be swayed by others opinion on whether you should get the treatment. Do what you feel is best for you. They don't have to live with scars; you do. Good luck!!

That is exactly what Dr Wallace said to me when I shared with him all the negative things that are said about dermabrasssion. Well the 19th is getting closer and closer. I'll keep you updated.

How are things going today? I'm wondering, why didn't your doctor reco a laser resurfacing of some sort? Just curious. Thanks...and happy holidays!
December 24, 2013
Because he felt that one laser treatment wouldn't work that I would need several and it's more expensive. Happy Holidays to you too :)

Do not do it!! I had this done x2 as a teenager and at first I was happy as the scars looked a lot better....until the swelling finally went down and nothing had changed. Years later the abrasion area has large scar tissue areas that are a shinny texture and a different color than my untouched skin. I've never been able to find anything that could hide or help that and I've tried everything. Even heavy makeup can't hide it. Please don't do it. I've regretted it my entire adult life.

Thanks but I'm a little concerned about a few white heads that are around my mouth and one on my eyelid. Tuesday I go to see my doctor and then across the hall to the skin specialist. I'll find out then what I can do to stop this from becoming worse.

Milia? I think this is normal for dermabrasion. In any case, best to get it checked out. Good luck!
December 30, 2013
What exactly is Milia?
December 30, 2013
Milia are like hardened keratin. Look like tiny zits but you can't squeeze anything out of them. They can resolve on their own or the doc can get them out when you've healed up. :)

I wanted to tell you that I still see my scars! I'm hoping that it's just enlarged pores that will not benoticeable i the end. If not and my scars are still here I've thrown away 2000 bucks and weeks of my life!!!

Sorry about the spelling mistakes lol. My eyes aren't as sharp as they use to be.

What kind of scars do you have? I'm sure it will be a few weeks before you really see your results. Need some time for the collagen to build up right?

You're definitely going to see remarkable improvements to your skin and the worst is behind you. Hang in there!

Thank you for taking the time to send me this message. I needed to hear that. I still look awful. It's only been 13 days though. I've been dealing with a break out but my skin specialist said I need a facial to help clean everything up. This coming Thursday. Really looking forward to that!!! Happy Nee Year!
Please keep us up to date on how everything goes.
