What a Microderm
treatment feels like.
As the Microderm device gently
showers your skin with fine corundum crystals, you'll feel a sensation like a
rough washcloth against your skin. This gentle exfoliation stimulates the skin
to regenerate new cells and form new collagen.
Microderm treatments are safe.
Microdermabrasion has been in use for more than ten
years in Europe and is the treatment of choice in over 1000 European treatment
centers. Corundum crystals, the second hardest mineral known to man, are
completely non-invasive and inert.
How your skin will look
after treatment.
The Microderm approach is so subtle
and gentle that you can have a lunch-time treatment and then return to work
The crystal residue on your skin could be compared to sand you might feel
after a day at the beach.
After treatment follow-up.
It is important to stay out of the
sun and use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 25 from your first Microderm
treatment until a week after your last treatment. At the Microderm Institute,
you will receive a Pre and After Care kit complimentary with your first
series.
Price comparison to laser
surgery.
A series of Microderm treatments
provides a significantly less expensive alternative to laser surgery, which
can cost $3,000 or more. Also Microderm's non invasive approach avoids the
long down-time and possible risk of infection associated with laser surgery.
