Professional Skin Resurfacing – Your Options
|
There are many ways to effectively create a peeling of the epidermis (upper most layer of the skin). Not all methods are appropriate for all skin types or all ages. As such we believe in customizing to give you the exact & most beneficial treatment. Corrective skin peeling has the ability to reduce your wrinkles, pigmentation, congestion, scars & dehydration, while increasing fibroblast activity in your dermis (middle layer of the skin) to generate new growth of healthy skin cells. In the past, heavy-duty CO2 Lasers, chemical & strong glycolic acid peels were used with considerable down time & discomfort. Today’s state-of-the-art mechanical & chirally correct non-acid peels are a pleasure to experience without down time & with beautiful lasting results. Microdermabrasion (DiamondTip)What is Microdermabrasion?Crystal Free Microdermabrasion, using the P Quantum DiamondTip™ System, is a medical technique for removing the topmost layer of skin, leaving it supple and vibrant. This is accomplished by gently abrading the skin with a variety of stainless steel tips imbedded with laser cut diamond chips, while at the same time using suction to remove the dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. Crystal Free Quantum DiamondTip™ Microdermabrasion is similar to particle microdermabrasion and chemical peels in its results, but without the adverse effects of loose particles, irritation and skin reaction. Unlike other Microdermabrasion systems, the Quantum DiamondTip™ System at Age Less MEDI Spas uses no loose crystals or other abrasives to contaminate you or the environment. How much discomfort will I experience?Crystal Free DiamondTip™ Microdermabrasion treatments are painless yet effective. A widely adjustable vacuum in conjunction controls the degree of effectiveness with the varying coarseness of the tips. At Age Less MEDI Spas we will evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment while at the same time ensuring your comfort. Because exfoliation occurs only as the wand is drawn across the skin, and there are no crystals being blasted against the skin, the Quantum DiamondTip™ crystal–free System is regarded as more gentle than other systems even at its highest settings. How will I look after the treatment?Your skin may look slightly flushed immediately after the treatment but should return to normal in 10–30 minutes. Your skin will look and feel smoother and more youthful even after the first treatment and will continue to improve with additional treatments. How many treatments do I need?An initial treatment series is usually six sessions, although even a single treatment produces beautiful visible results. Treatments are scheduled about three weeks apart. As dead skin cells will always continue to accumulate, most clients schedule maintenance treatments every few months or as needed. Our Skin Specialist will discuss your particular needs during your free consultation. Are there side effects to Microdermabrasion?Your skin may appear light pink after the treatment. This soon passes. Both moisturizers and makeup may be immediately applied. We apply sunscreen after each treatment, and recommended sunscreen use on the treated areas daily. Does acne respond to Microdermabrasion?Results depend on your individual case, which is why a free consultation is so important. Many patients with acne respond well to microdermabrasion, and truly remarkable results have been achieved with even the most severe cases. Other adjunctive treatments may be recommended, such as Customized Designer Peels, Photo Pulsation therapy, topical skin care and targeted supplementation. Acne scars can also be minimized with microdermabrasion, as well as with Collagen Induction other laser procedures. Who is a candidate for Microdermabrasion?Clients who desire a smooth, refreshed appearance to their skin, those sensitive to the chemicals involved in other treatments, or those not responding well to acne medications typically are good candidates for microdermabrasion. The treatment is not lengthy, and the recovery period is short. Microdermabrasion is an excellent choice for most skin types. Microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment prior to FotoFacial-RF Skin Rejuvenation – allowing an increased penetration of the light–based treatment.

Can I go back to work after a Microdermabrasion?Microdermabrasion is a wonderful alternative to laser or intense chemical peels because it is non–invasive, non–surgical and requires no down time after treatment. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after treatment, and your skin is free of redness, irritation and particle contamination. Can I have Microdermabrasion before a FotoFacial?Yes!
