-as the leaves start changing theirs colors it is a perfect time for us for renewal....
This is not a new concept: in fact, the ancient Egyptians use abrasive tapes made with alabaster, honey and sour goat milk to exfoliate, and then abraded the skin with finely grounded sand to keep it silky smooth.
Exfoliation has come a long way since those days, but the key is skin rejuvenation - whether it will be manual exfoliation, mechanical exfoliation, chemical exfoliation, laser, light therapy.
Mechanical exfoliation -MICRODERMABRASION - “power peel“.
W H A T is M i c r o d e r m a b r a s i o n originally this service was performed by dermatologists it is now the most popular method used by estheticians.
The process involve a microdermabrasion machine - sound painful but in reality it is not. There are a several methods of microdermabrasion .
The original technology was developed in Italy and gained wide popularity in Europe in mid 1980s and in 1990s makes its way to the United States. The original devices uses a tiny little crystals of aluminum oxides that act as an exfoliate for the skin. The use of sodium bicarbonate crystals is becoming the material of choice for crystals microdermabrasion due to its organic nature and smooth texture .
In about 1999 another development came a diamond-tip or particle - free microdermabrasion machine. The diamond-tiped wand provides similar results to the crystals method.
The microdermabrasion machine acts like a vacuum which passes across you face, raising section of the skin for the crystals to work across.
In microdermabrasion tiny crystals are sprayed onto the skin to gently remove outer layer of the epidermis ( stratum continuum ) of your skin and remove any dead skin cells. It is very effective form of skin rejuvination for those with a thicker epidermis, hyperkeratotic buildup, and noninflamed forms of acne ( acne grade I and II).
The process is pain free and works on all skin types and colors. It is not expansive to do and can help to reenergizing the skin and remove age spots and hyperpigmantation (patches of darkened skin), reduce fine line and wrinkles, reduce or eliminate a large pores and black heads. Reduce mild acne scars. So is becoming widely popular.

The treatment last from 15-45 minutes depend on amount of passes. Usually with NO recovery time. When I say recovery time it is because you may have some redness in the face from the vacuum and crystal buffing. You will need to apply a seaweed mask to cool the skin down (depend on the skin sensitivity) The irritation usually subsides in 24 hour’s and for next few days you will need to apply a moisturizer to the face, neck, and decollete to help with dryness.
Microdermabrasion should never be used on inflamed condition of skin, included rosacea or acne vulgaris ( acne III and IV ).
If you want to remove all dead skin cells from your face, neck, decollete, hands, arms, back and give it a real "clean", or open the “gate” for serums and moisturizers than I recommend this treatment.
Your skin will fill silky smooth for weeks to come. To have a great improvement in the tone and texture we recommend 6 to 10 session in a several weeks a part
Mikodermabrasion is not be confused with dermabrasion witch is for more skin conditions like removing scaring from acne, removing fine vellus hair , known as "peach fuzz". Dermobrasion is a more intrusive procedure which must be performed by a dermatologist.
