I am an African-American female. I decided to try the microdermabrasion because I had dry skin patches on my face. My face used to itch rally badly because it was so dry. I want you to know that my face stopped itching after the day after the procedure, but I was disappointed. I still had those darned dark spots and dry patches on my face weeks later. Fast forward a month and a half and my dark spots are gone. My new skin (cells) is (are) in and I feel like I'm glowing. I have no regrets at all!
