EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF
Microdermabrasion is a
valuable technique for
facial rejuvenation that
offers minimal treatment
pain, no healing down time,
and markedly reduced cost
compared with wire-brush or
diamond-fraise Dermabrasion,
chemical peels, or laser
resurfacing. Surveys show
that only 5 percent of the
public who are interested in
facial rejuvenation
procedures are willing to
pay the cost and expose
themselves to the discomfort
and potential risks
associated with the
traditional resurfacing
techniques.
How it Works
In microdermabrasion, the
skin is lifted via a
negative pressure into the
port of a Pyrex hand piece
and superficially abraded by
a stream of aluminum oxide
crystals that strike the
epidermis at an acute angle.
The hand piece is moved with
a gradual gliding motion
across the surface of the
skin, and a second pass may
be made at right angles to
avoid streaking.
Microdermabrasion is
associated with minimal
discomfort and can be
performed without any
anesthesia in most patients.
At the end of the procedure,
the skin appears lightly
pink, but there is no
prominent redness or oozing.
Immediately after the
treatment, patients note a
silky smooth texture to
their skin and can apply
their cosmetics over a
nonirritant moisturizer.
With microdermabrasion,
the outer layer of the skin
is thinned gradually during
five to eight sessions
conducted at intervals of
seven to 10 days. A
full-face procedure takes
about 20 to 30 minutes to
complete.
TAKE SOME TIME OFF.
MAYBE EVEN A FEW YEARS!
A new dimension in gentle
and effective treatment:
Microdermabrasion reduces
the harsh effects of time
and the environment.
