What
is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a progressive,
non-invasive
treatment that propels
natural mineral
crystals onto the surface of the skin for gentle epidermal abrasion
that reveals newer, healthier, younger looking skin.
How
does the treatment work?
Microdermabrasion
works in two ways:
Correction:
The speed of the crystal flow causes an abrasive action that gently
removes the surface layers of the skin, allowing smoother, fresher
skin to emerge.
Stimulation:
The vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation increasing
the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration.
It also stimulates formation of new collagen and elastin to improve
skin texture and elasticity.
Is
it painful?
The
treatment is performed with little discomfort. At the most, sensitive
clients might experience a slight sensation resembling a light sunburn.
After treatment, the skin has a pink glow and you can resume your
normal activities almost immediately. The procedure can be done
during your lunch hour.
Is it safe?
Microdermabrasion
offers a gentler alternative to more traumatic resurfacing treatments.
It does not involve trauma or bleeding. The treament is executed
slowly and progressively, removing only superficial layers of the
epidermis to reveal a youthful complexion and glow. Your therapist
has total control and works under strict hygienic conditions, using
sterile, disposable treatment nozzles to ensure your safety.
How
long does it take?
Each
treatment takes 15-30 minutes. When combined with other treatments,
it takes 45 minutes to an hour.
How
many treatments will I need?
Age and skin condition will determine the number
of treatments required to achieve optimum effect. For most skin
problems, a minimum of six treatments is recommended. Results in
texture can be felt in one session. Results in appearance may range
from one to three sessions. Closely spaced treatments, combined
with maintainance sessions, will result in better skin quality.
Which
skin problems can be treated?
This system gradually abrades epidermal
cells to treat a vast range of skin problems:
- sun-damaged
skin uneven and granular skin fine lines and wrinkles
- enlarged
pores
- blackheads
superficial scars some stretch marks
Can
microdermabrasion be used on the body?
There are virtually no areas of the body that
would not benefit from microdermabrasion. When used in exfoliation
mode, it can be performed on the entire face, neck and neckline
with a second sweep on any areas of hyperpigmentation or with textural
irregularities.
