History |

The
Microdermabrasion system was designed by Mattioli Engineering, an
Italian company. Based on innovative design and invaluable experience
gained over 20 years, the system can offer therapy that works for
everyone achieving a glowing look anytime.
The simple design
of the machine has been specifically aimed at the therapist who
is certified, and highly qualified to carry out a wide range of
treatments on a routine basis in the clinic, both safely and effectively.
This system is widely used in Europe and has recently received FDA
clearance in the United States.

|
| Clinical
Background |
| |
Chemical
peeling and manual dermabrasion are the traditional
techniques for the treatments of a range of skin abnormalities. There
are restrictions and difficulties associated with these common procedures
since they can be painful and rapid retreatment is not always possible.
Microdermabrasion is not painful and does not
require pre-treatment or topical anesthesia.
The real benefit
is that after treatment, you are able to leave the clinic with a
clean and fresh sparkling tone: a regeneration of the epidermal
cell structure.
Your safety
is an important issue to both you and your therapist, therefore
the entire treatment is performed in a sterile environment. All
tools that contact the treatment area are either sterilizable or
disposable.

|
| About
the Treatment |
| |
Microdermabrasion
is used to treat the following types of conditions:
dull, congested, blemished, thickened, aging, acne, hypertrophic
scars, broken capillaries (face), stretch marks, pigmentation/brown
spots, seborrhea and minor skin conditions.
|
|
|
| How
is it done? |
| |
Microdermabrasion
is performed with a jet of fine crystals, which is vacuumed across
the skin's surface, removing the dead and damaged skin cells.
Your therapist
will advise you on the treatment and schedule most suitable for
your particular skin condition, leaving you with blemish-free, smooth,
soft, brighter and younger looking skin.
|
|
|
| What
to Expect After Various Treatment Levels |
| |
The
skin may feel tight as if exposed to the sun or wind for a while after
treatment. Some skins may peel. Keep the skin well moisturized with
the proper products as advised by your therapist.
Deeper
treatment level for more blemished or thicker skin.
The skin may appear slightly red and swollen from a few hours to
a few days for more sensitive skins. Some skins may peel.
Deep treatment
for scar tissue and stretch marks.
The skin will look red and may swell. Slight blood spotting may
occur immediately after treatment and healing time may take three
to four days or longer. It is worthwhile waiting for the results.
