    I have had the micro dermabrasion treatment and as it didn't get rid of all the scars it did however help some. My mom took me for my 24th bday and paid 4 grand on the treatment. I had the 3 session when I think I should have went with the 5. I have had acne since I was 12. The scars that I have are all over my cheeks and my forehead. I had a few really deep scars that are still there but they aren't as visible as they used to be. I think I am going to go back for a few more sessions but i just dont have the money right now. It sucks because I am so self conscious about them and just by having the acne and scars it has made me really insecure. I cant look in the mirror and see anything but the obvious. Well, to me the obvious. I have a great boyfriend who doesnt even see it when he looks at me. he only sees my beautiful face and eyes. I often wonder if hes blind.

    Mind you, my scars were really bad so if your are just mild then I would go for a 3 session of the micro dermabrasion. I will tell you that it hurts like hell and your face will be a bit puffy for a couple of days. Thankfully the redness usually lasts a day. I made my appointment the day before my day off so after work i would go and not have to go back to work with it being all red. Also, the treatments work for 6 months after your session. I had my sessions a couple of weeks apart and wish I would have waited a bit longer in between. I hope this helps and if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

    Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

    In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

    Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

    In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

    If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.
