"THE LUNCH TIME FACELIFT" 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 WorksIn 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!
