Picked up the PMD Through GMA discussed in one of the earlier links. Curious if anyone who uses it can tell me if it truly helps with enlarged pores and breakouts. Also, does it help plump the skin? TIA.

Hi Jenmarieb! Yes, I love my PMD. My first question for you would be your skin type. If you are someone who regularly exfoliates and whose skin reacts well to dermabrasion type products then you will not have a huge transition. If you are new to the whole exfoliation world, then start off slowly. Watch the DVD and use the training disc first!! Reread my last sentence. ;-)

It will come with different strength discs and use the sensitive (blue) for as long as you require. The last thing you want is to go hog wild and damage your skin. Personally, I always recommend that people purchase the grey discs to start. I don't know why they don't send them in the kit but you can purchase on their website. You will receive in the kit blue (sensitive), green (medium) and probably some red (coarse). I have NEVER used the red and have skin that is used to peels and dermabrasion for years. The company is called Personal Microderm and they have a website where you can learn more.

Do not use retina 2 days before or after using the PMD! And do not use if you did a peel or dermabrasion (i.e., Skinn or other) for about one week and/or until your flaking is gone.

Thanks for all the great info. I am not sensitive at all. Can not wait to try.

From what I have seen, it doesn't help with breakouts right away, but over time it pretty much reworks the structure of your face (in a good way) to where it is much cleaner, healthier, and smoother.  It will definitely help out with enlarged pores too.  I'm not sure if it helps plump the skin though.  My fiance loves this device and would recommend it to anyone
