Microdermabrasion
(often referred to as Microderm) is a family of cosmetic procedures popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical
spas in which the strateum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or
completely removed by light abrasion, to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin.
The
procedure is not painful and requires no anesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the
scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence
that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion
can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically
to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane in the previous twelve months.
Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc
oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened
surface. Particles are removed with a wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come. The term
dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried
out under general or light anesthesia
In
the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common
to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with
facial spa treatments. These days there is a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion. However while there
is a multiplicity of machines available for performing this procedure, the results of their use are not consistent or standard
in the industry. The key factor in achieving the desired results is having the treatment performed by a qualified and well
trained Aesthetician. Generally the results of microdermabrasion are subjective in the eye of the beholder. Any purchaser
of Microdermabrasion services should understand and accept that microdermabraision is purely cosmetic and does not permanently
improve any skin conditions. It is critical that the technician properly analyze the skin prior to commencing with a
microdermabrasion treatment. This will determine the proper settings, depth, and number of treatments in order to achieve
the desired and realistic results.
The growth
of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion
methods available.
Multiple professional microdermabrasion
methods exist:
Crystal
microdermabrasion
Crystal
microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin
to perform the exfoliating process. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of
alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system.
Diamond microdermabrasion
The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it (diamond microdermabrasion
machine). With both conventional crystal and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are withdrawn away from
the face. Just as any aesthetic procedure to goal is aesthetic improvement not perfection. Microdermabrasion in
conjuction with other procedures like Skin Classic, Dermaplanning, Chemical Peels, or Roller Therapy will dramaticly improve
skin and more likely meet your clients' expectation.
Home Microdermabrasion
Home microdermabrasion systems are an increasingly popular alternative to professional treatments.
These are inexpensive and very easy to perform, and although not quite powerful as professional systems, they may be used
to maintain the effects of clinical microdermabrasion and can be done more often thus aquiring desired effect. There is a
great deal of competition in the home microdermabrasion systems market with most of the big cosmetics and skin care brands
launching their own home systems, but beware of machines that require you to purchase disposable tips which can increase the
price a great deal over time.
Microdermabrasion
is a procedure where tiny particles "sand" or "polish" the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored
epidermal tissue. The surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher. Treatments focus on
skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells post microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used
by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a home microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy
skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

The SI-BM02
Diamond Microdermabrasion machine refines, rejuvenates and smoothens skin. It has 3 built-in functions -- Diamond Microdermabrasion
Therapy, Vacuum Therapy, and Spray function, and definitely a must-have equipment for aestheticians, dermatologists, or other
clinical professionals - great for professional use and home use as well. This unit comes with complete video instruction
by Stephanie Holvick, RN. Learn the best techniques and which products to use along with your home microdemabrasion.
1. The diamond microdermabrasion
The diamond microdermabrasion
system replaces the micro-crystal flow with a diamond tip wand. Areas closer to the eyes and mouth can be abraded more accurately
with diamond abrasion (no risk of stray crystals causing damage or being ingested).
It provides a Non-Surgical skin resurfacing procedure by
using sterile diamond heads to peel and rub off the dead cells at the top skin layer followed by vacuuming/suction removing
particles along with any dirt and dead skin. This procedure removes skin debris, scars, blemishes, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation
of the skin. Moderate usage of diamond dermabrasion accompanied with skin products that penetrate through the top skin layer
and reach the dermis level help to replenish natural nutrients and restore cell activity promoting healthy skin.
The Benefits of treatments with our Diamond Microdermabrasion machines:
* Rejuvenation of sun damaged skin - face, neck, shoulders,
back, arms, and legs
* Reduction of age spots
* Minimization of blotchy skin coloring
* Reduction of acne and
superficial scars from past injury
* Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads
* Reduction of oily skin
* Improvement
of overall skin health --you will have healthy, glowing, and beautiful skin.
2. The Vacuum Therapy
Cleans dirty pores through suctioning tubes and increases
blood circulation in the skin. Helps give elasticity in the skin and can decrease discoloration from acne and scars.
3. The Spray Function
Infuse intense non irritating serums after your microdermabrasion.
This is the time that the skin is most receptive. You will increase the effectiveness of microdermabrasion by finishing
your treatment in this fashion. Can also be used with a refreshing mist used after a treatment. It helps close the pores
and soothe the skin.
