    Acne Feedback: Its okay to have microderm, just make sure they stay away from pustules. Your skin will feel & look so much better! It really helps acne scars too. With continuous visits, it will help with fine lines too! I love having it done, it gives you a pretty glow :)

    Acne Feedback: it’s fine to use on acne if it is not open or infected or swollen. it is effective on acne scars & freckles. try it with a glycolic peel if you can. you will need more than one treatment, it is not worth it to pay for one if you cannot pay for 5. get them only a week apart so your skin doesn’t “heal” before the next one. I think it is great, but listen to your esthetician and buy a package if you can afford it. If you are having an acne outbreak get a facial instead with a good clay mask and maybe invest in a good cleanser and moisturizer. don’t expect to solve your skin problems overnight, it’s your face, it’s a great investment!
