My aesthetician told me the results depend on the intensity level applied to your face. I'm not too sensitive so she increases the intensity, so than I require fewer sessions. I went to another spa and it was so mild that I'd have to go back many times more. Find a good aesthetician that is honest and make sure they are certified. Also, don't waste your time or money if they insist on keeping the intensity level at a low. They should increase it till it feels right for you not for their pockets. Good Luck!

Considering this treatment. Wondering about average cost per treatment and does it make a difference in ingredients and / or application. What is the danger, photo sensitivity? Thanks for the comments. Gladys

Dermabrasion: The number of applications will determine on the texture of the skin. If you deep lines if will take several sessions, the sensitivity of your skin will also be a factor. You will notice a difference from the start, although everyone's skin is different. What I noticed on my skin was the pigmentation was clearer since I had so many spots from the sun (scuba). I'm not sure what you mean on photo sensitivity. But I would suggest that you do the Dermabrasion during the winter since your skin will be sensitive to the sun in the hot summer summer days. Hope this helps :-)

Yes, it removed my acne scars, sun spots, and a smoothed out my fines lines on forehead. I have olive skin tone so I really have to wear sun screen everyday to prevent or reduce the brown patches during the summer heat. I really recommend microdermabrasion. Although, I don't think it stops acne problems,you'll need to find a good acne product.
