Fast Way to Get Glowing Skin - Vibraderm

Had my third session today! My redness subsided in less than an hour (still more than 30 minutes, though). I have some icepick scars scattered across my cheeks and I can see some of the more shallow ones filling out a little. I know it's mostly a superficial procedure, but it is definitely making a difference for my skin and my flat scars on the side of my left cheek. It's getting the top layer of my skin off faster and letting the new skin underneath come out faster. The tretinoin is definitely helping...I'm still using it 72 hrs pre and post procedure to avoid inflammation. I don't know if I mentioned it, but my esthetician uses an awesome lotion/hydrator called Skinceuticals B5 gel...didn't want to get suckered in but I've heard good things about it...so I decided to splurge and get it. I put a few drops of it on my face tonight, then put on a moisturizer...MY SKIN LOOKS SO GOOD. I also notice a marked decrease in the number and size of blackheads. Mine are deep and numerous...I'm so pleasantly surprised by this! I mean, I knew with my regimen and care they'd go away in a few months/half a year but the fact that I see a marked difference makes it worth it for me.

Thanks! I will! My third session is next Friday.

Thanks for your update, AceQu! It could be either the sunscreen or the "purging" period...but I'm not qualified professionally to say it. Good luck!!!

No, don't apply it more than once a day. It won't make your eyelashes grow faster, it'll just make your eyes more irritated and the side effects will just be worse. Just be patient and apply once a night! I just started, it's been almost a week. I got my Rx from my dermatologist and got mine dispensed from there too.

I just had my second session today. I admit, I have never had the traditional type of microdermabrasion done before. My dermatologist's office uses vibraderm and I trust their opinion. My skin definitely gets better. My sessions are 2 weeks apart and my skin looks better a week after the session. My skin is sensitive to everything afterwards, the only thing that doesn't sting is the B5 lotion (I'm not sure what brand, maybe skinceuticals) my aesthetician uses on me right afterwards. For me, the redness fades away after a few hours, might come back with applying lotions. I definitely saw improvements a week, 2 weeks after my first treatment. I also use tretinoin (retin-a) but I wait 3 days after the vibraderm and stop using it 3 days before. I had a bad post-inflammatory response when I used the tretinoin the night after my first vibraderm session. Itchy hives was my reaction...but went away after 3-4 days.
