What is micro-dermabrasion? |
|
Micro-dermabrasion 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 skin. |
| |
|
How does the treatment work? |
|
Micro-dermabrasion 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 patients 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 lunch hour. |
| |
|
Is it safe? |
|
Micro Controlled Peeling
offers a gentler alternative to more traumatic resurfacing
treatments. It does not involve trauma or bleeding. The
treatment 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 the strictest hygiene standards, using sterile, disposable
treatment nozzles to ensure your safety. |
| |
|
How long does it take? |
|
Each treatment takes 15 to
30 minutes. When combined with other anti-ageing treatments, it
takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. |
| |
|
How many treatments will I need? |
| |
|
Age and skin condition
determine the number of treatments required to achieve optimum
effect. For most skin disorders, a minimum of five treatments is
recommended. Results can be seen in both the texture and the
appearance of the skin after just one session. Closely spaced
treatments, combined with maintenance sessions, will result in
better skin quality and may postpone the first lifting
treatments for some years. |
| |
|
Can Micro Controlled Peeling be used on
the body? |
|
There are virtually no
areas of the body that would not benefit from
micro-dermabrasion. When used in the 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. |
| |
|

This system gradually abrades epidermal
cells to treat a vast range of skin problems: |
|

|
