I would never recommend this to anyone. This is just my experience, then again everyone has different skin. if i had to say I would recommend this for people with normal or mature skin. if you are acne prone, please stay away! First time I had this done I ended up with cystic acne that i never had. i could never figure out what had caused it until 2 years later i went in for the same treatment only to experience multiple outbreaks. your skin will purge ten times more then it normally would. this is a normal phase to go through after a micro but I would tell you its not worth it! find other ways to asses the problem you are having. my skin has not looked this awful in so long and because I don't know how many months my skin will take to grow back, since it takes a few months after having micro, your skin will normalize again.but as of now my skin is purging so badly and i don't know when it will be over i miss not having to wear make up. i hate my skin in the light. if i must say when i did have this procedure before i guess when my skin did get back to normal it was the best skin i ever had but for now a i am not a happy camper. i wish esthecicians would warn you about these possible side effects but of coarse its all about taking your money!
Great review?

do not get this procedure done...possible side effects not worth it
Yeah, I had microderm done probably about 6 years ago and had a pretty similar experience. It made my breakouts worse. I didn't see a huge improvement after though, it was increased breakouts then back to normal. :-/
Dealing with acne is the worst!! Where or where is our miracle cure. ;)
I came upon these comments while looking for reviews about microdermabrasion, and i just wanted to mention that the only thing that finally got rid of my acne (adult cystic acne - not even roaccutane helped for more than a few years) was traditional chinese medicine. the treatment is with mainly with herbs and some accupuncture. you need to be patient and diligent, it took over a year but its the best thing i ever did, the results are permanent and my search for an acne cure is over.
