mary kay makes a great microdermabrasion kit. you don't have to go to expensive doctors and the results will probably be better anyway. it isn't very expensive and no surgeries!

Get a consultation with a dermatologist. It's a myth that fried food, chocolate, etc. cause acne or make it worse. And sex does not clear it up. Do a google search on some medical sites and read about the causes. Microdermabrasion will not make it worse, but will not clear it either. Ask your dermatologist for a prescription cream like Retin-A Micro. Do a search on that also to get an explanation on how it works. Your family doctor can write you a prescription for that, not just a dermatologist.

I had the SAME exact problem when I was 10-16... I looked up microdermabrasions but thats like the last resort that you want to go to. Because it might not work on the first treatment, and your doctor WILL give you other options b4 you do the procedure. and if you really wanna do it don't do it in the summer becuz you'll have scarring from sun burn (ive seen it from a medium-skinned friend and she has alot of peeling and her scars didn't go away and she has to wait till it heals, and she done the procedure 5months ago.)Feel me? I got rid of my acne from taking Multivitamin supplements. You can get them over the counter or go to your dermatologist and get a perscription from them. Acne does NOT clear away with all them netrugena and them other products, I made clearasil and all them other things a FORTUNE back in the days. Another one is Proactiv.. It works if your faithful.Fried food and your food intake causes acne too.. Sex also takes away acne, im not telling you to be a hoe or anything but just another one that worked for me. Till this day I have problems with my scars (im 18) and i've been taking prenatal vitamins and its getting clearer and clearer. And also look up HomeMade Remedies For Acne in your google search engine.. Hope this helps!

Try an acid peel instead- works much better to resurface. There are varying strengths. Before you try this though, try some really nice skin care products ie. Murad is fantastic. I do skin care and these are the products I use with my clients and everyone has amazing results. It is well worth the money to invest in your skin.
