“Completely Awful!!! if I Can Just Save One Person the Grief - Port Jefferson, NY”

I just read this post and many others and was strongly compelled to write my opinion. I think it's great to take care of your skin and advance with new treatments. But let's be smart; you only have one face that should be trusted to a reputable Dermatologist that has seen your skin and knows your skin problems. (Every woman's skin is completely different). I just know that my Dermatologist would not recommend this treatment as I have read others hav had done...and if she did do the Microdermabrasion it would be a very small area...or 5 minutes first to see the reaction of your skin. Also, she would recommend true RetinA cream used daily or a few times a week for sensitive skin for a gentler more controlled peel effect with no scars or bright redness and also Salycitic (sp)and fruit acids. Be careful of what people are selling for your skin and try it slowly instead of jumping in all at once. You certainly do not want to stimulate your oil glands to create pimples.

I also have had my face ruined by a young girl she blasted my face i have crystals in my face nearly two years after it is inflamed i have seen a dermatologist and now am booked in for a proceedure to drain the infection iam taking the bitches to court i have suffered and the surgeon says it will take years to completely come out. Please make sure you know who is touching your face

wow!! to hear these comments are shocking... i am suppost to be getting one done in october....by a skin care SCHOOL! ???

After reading all the comments above I had to write something, a microdermabrasion is done with crystals that yes can cause a HUGE mess and if left on the skin to cause irritation. Also may I add not good for the client or esthetician to breath in. Now if your looking into getting a microderm done go with the dermabrasion treatment which is done with NO crystals. Its done with a fine tipped crystal wand that will not leave any tiny crystal particles on your skin to irritate. Its a crystal free procedure that will make a HUGE difference in 4-6 treatments. Now if your going to a school to have it done just make sure they use a low setting. After word you want your skin to be a little pink but now bright red. If its bright red they used to high of a setting. Your skin will be a little pink because the suction from the wand causes stimulates blood circulation. After the treatment make sure they use a heavy moisturizer because the treatment is going to strip your skin of the natural oils, so you need to put some moisture back in your skin after the treatment. A good hydrating mask would be GREAT to. As a licensed esthetician that has been certified to do this treatment for five years I have NEVER had a client not see results or have a bad reaction to the treatment. Hope this helps!
