Microdermabrasion? (Warning...maybe TMI)

Has anyone had microdermabrasion? How long did it take you to heal? Was it painful? Any anesthesia needed? What were your results?

I have these little bumps on my face. They look like whiteheads, but they are solid. I can't "pop" them, but ( and I know I shouldn't have) I took a (steralized) needle and gently inserted it into the skin underneath the bump and lifted the needle up and made an opening then squeezed the bump out. It was a little, solid, whitish ball. ( I know, TMI...I'm sorry)

I want to get rid of them and I wondered if dermabrasion would work.

Thanks for any info!

You have Milia -   I would say!.  I have ocassionally gotten these on my cheeks and I had one right on my lower lash line for well over a year before I finally did as you did -  pierce it with a needle- uhhh that hurt like a you know what!

I don't know if Microdermabsion would work or not -  but When I get a facial they ask what areas are bothering me and I bring them up and typically they use a lancet to removed them.  I would think that the person doing the facial would take care of this for you provided it was not in a sensitive area ( like your eye ) 

LIke I said  -  I get these every now and again -  it's not really acne but it is dead skin cells.  If it's a chronc problem I would suggest seeing a derm.

 Keep an eye on your labs. If you fall low in Vit. A, E,  folate and Zinc it can cause blemishes. Sometimes just adjusting your supplements can make a big difference.

i just had a facial. and she got rid of a few..they were whiteheads ....and was told that when i put moistriser on my face..that it may cause a pore to be clog .....the solution was for me to use retina every night to make pores tighter...

hiiii ladies, microdermabrasion treatment is really effective if you are taking your treatment at a right place. choosing right device and its setting matters here as much as the skill of the physician, so i would say if you are taking microdermabrasion treatment then go only to a reputed clinic.
