microdermabrasion

The Derma Pod Technology 
provides deep exfoliation, skin regeneration and skin oxygenation.​
​

The hand piece projects a controlled stream of natural mineral crystals to gradually and evenly erase flaws and blemishes.

The natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin without chemicals or lasers. 
​
The Derma pod utilizes crystals to finely resurface superficial layers of the skin. 

When a more aggressive treatment is necessary, the Turbo Flow Projection System pressure can be increased to evenly penetrate deeper layers of the skin in order to tone down wrinkles, scars, pigmentation spots, or stretch marks.

The Derma Pod Silhouet-Tone system is entirely controlled by computer, thereby ensuring accuracy and performance. This is the top of the line Microdermabrasion Machine on the market today and can be combined with Photo-Biostimulation or Micro Currents in one treatment for a complete facial rejuvenation package that brings:

FAQ

Whats is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion uses natural mineral crystals that gently, evenly and effectively remove the upper epidermal dead skin cells. It rejuvenates the skin, and provides a healthy glow.
Does it matters what machine is used ?
The machine used makes a big difference. We use the Silhouet Tone Derma Pod. The Derma Pod is by far, the gold standard in Microdermabrasion. There are two different types of microdermabrasion machines – the diamond tip and crystal. Crystal mircodermabrasion uses disposable mineral crystals that gently lift the dead surface cells off the skin. Diamond tip uses a stainless steel tip that is sanitized and reused. The tip drags along the skin scraping off the dead skin cells. The later has a higher risk - at times the diamond tip can cause a scrape or scratch if it is not properly maintained. The crystals allow better control of the treatment.
Who should consider microdermabrasion?
Good for many different issues, anyone interested in improving the appearance of uneven skin tones, dull skin, scaring, fine lines, pigmentation problems, lifeless and sun damage skin, clogged acne prone skin, dull lifeless skin, mature skin and for those who want to maintain healthy looking skin.
is it painful?
The Micro-Dermabrasion is a non aggressive, non-invasive procedure for skin resurfacing. Initially, you may feel a mild scratching sensation as the crystals make contact with the skin. As the treatment continue, this experience compares to a deep massage. Mild redness may occur for half hour to one day depending on the aggressiveness of the program.
Who benefits?
​It is an excellent treatment for both men and women, is good for many different skin issues that range from clogged acne prone skin, dull lifeless skin, mature skin and for those who want to maintain healthy looking/feeling skin.
How often should I have microdermabrasion treatments ?
Our skin regenerates it’s self within 28 days, then our dead skin cells should naturally shed, but due to age, stress, hormones and pollution this process slows down. So it is very important to do treatments that provide deep exfoliation to assist with this process. For best results microdermabrasion is recommended once a month may very with age and skin condition.

How many treatments will I need?
Age, lifestyle and skin condition determine the number of treatments required to achieve results. During the consultation I will be able to evaluate your skin, explain the needed procedure and tell you the estimated number of sessions needed. Clients usually report a noticeable improvement after just one treatment.
What are the expected results ? ​
After one treatment the skin feels light, clean, very soft and smooth. The skin looks healthy with a nice glow. When treatments are done at recommended intervals the results attained are as follows:
    •    Softens fine lines and wrinkles.
    •    Helps keep skin smooth and soft.
    •    Decreases the appearance of acne and acne scars.
    •    Minimize enlarged, open pores, blackheads and whiteheads.
    •    Helps dull, stressed skin – gives the skin a healthy glow.
    •    Improves sun-damaged skin - both tone and texture.
    •    Allows much better penetration of skin care products for increased benefits
Is there any downtime involved ?
There is no down time after microdermabrasion.The treatment finishes off with a cooling mask which helps calm and sooth the skin. After the skin looks rejuvenated, refreshed and glowing. Some may be slightly pink. 
POST CARE INSTRUCTION ? ​​
After a microdermabrasion treatment an SPF of 30 or greater must be applied to the skin every day for full week post treatment.
