As I have mentioned in other posts, I had Dermabrasion to remove cystic acne scars and pock marks. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. It wasn't an easy process to go through and it took months for my skin to heal.

Thank's for the info. I am interested in dermabrasion and chemcal peels but I am scared to try something new on my face. If you have experienced adverse effects from chem peels and dermabrasion can you please share your story.

What about the $? How much does it cost for each procedure?

 

[MissMudPie]

Dermabrasion is $75-$90 per treatment at the few places I've seen around here. Where I go, it is $90 with chemical application, and six treatments are recommended. Peels are $40.

I feel lucky that I don't have to do dermabrasion or laser to remove my acne scars. Epidermx microdermarbasion and Silkia camellia oil have been making me scars much shallower after about 9 months and I can still see them get better every month. :vogel:

Dermabrasion is plastic surgery. It is not a treatment. I think you are referring to microdermabrasion when you call it a treatment.

Dermabrasion is done with a general anesthetic in a hospital, and basically the skin is removed from the face, to a depth of 5 mm (just a guess).

It takes months to recover. Dermabrasion can cost thousands when you factor in the operating room, doctor's fees, anesthetics and anesthetics doctor.

Because I live in Canada, and the plastic surgeon felt my skin looked bad enough, he said he would do the surgery and the province paid for all the expences.

Let me know if you would like any more info.

Hi, my aunt had dermabrasion (not the gentle micro version) for a scar above her lip. She's Black, and it made it worse, because of keloids. I'm sure they'll tell you this before they do it, but if you have dark skin, be careful before getting this procedure, it can worsen things. I have a 2 depressed small scars on my cheek and I'm planning on getting fat injected into it, we'll see.

Thank's

Exoticchica brings up a few great points with regard to dermabrasion.

1. It is effective for people with asian or light caucasion skin tones. When done on darker skins, the healing may not be as good, or may leave further scarring.

2. I am surprised the surgeon only did a small area of skin. Although my acne scars were mainly on my cheeks, in front of ears, and jaw line, the surgeon did my entire face - forehead included - so my skin would heal evenly.

If anyone is contemplating dermabrasion, make sure you do your homework and ask a lot of question, and ask for answers that you can understand.

Hi,

Excellent thread. Thanks for bringing up the point about darker pigmented skintones and keloids.

Does anyone have ideas that do not require spa/medical treatment for repairing skin with acne scars?

 

[CubNan]

I'd like to know that too.

I posted above. I've been using Silkia camellia oil and Epidermx microderm on my acne scars after learning about them on this board early last year. As of now my scars are much shallower, some tiny ones have totally disappeared, and my skin has never looked so good.

I thought you could buy small sheets, over the counter, that you apply to scared areas - not just acne. Ask a Pharmacist if they sell one of these products.
