Best of luck! I did this 20 years ago. My skin isn't perfect but I think the dermabrasion did have a big impact. The downtime is just soooo long. Hang in there.

Deep acne scars- have tried everything and nothing improved them, from derma pen sessions, intensive laser sessions, and fillers. Dermabrasion was my last attempt but only with a good accredited surgeon was I willing to take this chance. I will be able to see some results in a couple of weeks. The doctor said I will be happy with the outcome.

I have had laser three times, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion and fillers but no luck getting rid of the scars. It seems to be worse as I age and I believe that this is due to my face getting thinner as I get older. Any other suggestions?

I would consult a "Facial" plastic surgeon. Do not consult a General plastic surgeon, this was my mistake in the past, I just consulted plastic surgeon that offered face procedures. Remember you will not completely get rid of them, but for sure improve them. Dermabrassion is a lost art that only a specialist can do it or they can ruin you instead of helping. It definitely made an improvement for me, I would say I improved 65% of what it looked. I feel great, To me this is better than 0% with all the laser procedures and dermapins, and fillers I paid for in the past.

I have to agree with you. I to have had laser three times and microdermabrasion as well as a peel. Nothing has worked and as I age and my face gets thinner it seems to look worse!!!
