shawnjun 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Hi, I really hope someone can give me some info about chemical peels or also known as microdermabrasion. I have suffered from acne scar all over my face. and I'm so depresed by it. I had been finding some info about it on-line but there are so few of info about it in m'sia. Is there any side-effect? How much will it cost? Where can I have it? (KL area) Will it be effective? I really hope someone can help me regarding this. Thanks you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dazzlingme 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 in whut sense?...i mean whut's safe for me might not be safe for u right? and vice versa...i guess it depends on what are your worries ...but generally microdermabrasions are well tolerated unlike laser treatments which often results in broken capillaries...the best way is to consult the doctor herself .....oh and u wanted to know bout the clinic?...it is clinic christina chea in usj taipan..

MGWEISS 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks Dazzling me n bernie. Thanks for the helpful information. Dear dazzlingme, i'm curious about the difference of doing diamond dermabrassion at clinic VS bauty saloon. From the picture i saw from Dr Christina's website, it looks quite the same for those used in beauty saloon. I actually did a diamond facial treatment at the "lousy" beauty saloon I went before. The beutician used a machine and a pen (with diamond on its tip) then she moved this pen around my face. She said it was to suck n remove the dead layer, then its extraction of blackhead + whitehead n finally she apply a hydrating mask for me But it didn't take too long time for the diamond treatment session? May i know how long is ur tx session? Do you also get mask or extraction?However, few days after the treatment, my skin has breakout again hai...... hai...... hai................. I'm so sad.

Jna 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 i'm interested in doing microdermabrasion, but here in KK sabah only have microneedling (looks more painful yikes, but very effective on large sugery/accident scars. but i just have large open pores and ance scars and chicken pox scar i don't think "needling" is necessary) at medical centre.i guess i need to find out which clinic provide microdermabrasion ccoz i dun trust beauty salon too.
