    Hi, for some people it's a long time to recover. I had it done about one year and 6 months , now you can still see a bit the redness over my cheeks till the jaws. I always had to cover it with s good foundation,
    To get to this result it took me almost the same amount of money that the dermabration costed me .
    My derma doctor gave me a mixture of retina A,Hydroquinone 4% and Avantan cream to use at night , and in the afternoon another cream called Skinoren.for the redness . Now I am only using this if it doesn't get better he prescribed me some pills called Doxycycline .
    These are not over the counter creams and a dermatologist should see you , if yours tell you it goes away by itself dump him and go to another . It happened to me and it took me around 6 months and a lot of money for his consultation for nothing .
    I cannot sue him cause they make you sign a paper before that you understood the procedure and complication . And then they tell you you are the first that this happened. I saw a lot of comments in the Internet with same problem, they should stop using this method they don't realize the stress and pain they are causing to poeple .
    Well good luck and in time you will recover .

    I read all your comments. How are you? did your redness or hyperpigmentation go away? Now I think it is over 1 year for you.
    I did dermabration in Nov 2010. now 1 year and 2 months passed.My doctor too said like yours, he never seen anything like this before. I think its a lie and they say it to everyone who has the same problem.
    My case is that after this time I still have redness. I was given the 4% hydroquinone plus Retina A,but still have the redness. My Derm says that I can do some kind of laser, but I afraid that it will go worst
    Can you please tell me if you healed and what you did to make the redness or hyperpigmentation go away.
