1 How Does Microdermabration Work? This treatment is one of the latest breakthroughs in dermatology for all skin conditions, however microdermabrasion is not recommended for those who have active keloids, undiagnosed lesions, recent herpes outbreaks, warts, active rash, weeping acne (stages 3-4), active rosacea, unstable diabetes, auto-immune system disorders or if you are taking blood thinners or oral medication, antibiotics that may causes skin hyper-pigmentation. Microdermabrasion is a safe, gentle skin resurfacing treatment, designed for mature or teenage skins which removes dead skin cells while stimulating the production of skin-firming collagen, a great polish before an event.

2 What is dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is a safe (provided the person performing is properly trained) and highly effective physical exfoliation procedure. It requires the use of a sterile patented device to gently "shave" the skin's surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (aka peach fuzz). The procedure can be performed monthly, in less than thirty minutes, with no downtime post-treatment. Dermaplaning _This revolutionary, exfoliating facial device, painlessly removes dead skin cells, built up debris, and pesky peach fuzz. Results are immediate. Smooth, radiant, touchable skin is instantly revealed. This treatment was specifically designed for the delicate skin on a woman s face and is a first-in-class, patented, safe and hygienic exfoliating device. This treatment instantly reveals smooth, luminous, younger looking skin that erases the barrier that allows penetration and absorption of serums and creates a flawless canvas for both skin care and makeup. $125 Series of 3 for $300 Series of 6 for $550 Series of 12 for $900

3 Benefits of Dermaplaning Physical exfoliation triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to better penetrate skin. Some practitioners perform a chemical peel post-dermaplaning or combine microdermabrasion treatment to improve skins overall appearance and texture ( I only recommend this treatment option for clients at initial consultation to determine if your a good candidate). Dermaplaning is also excellent to rid the face of excess fine hairs which can often accumulate dirt and oil. Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs, as opposed to terminal hair, will not grow back thicker or darker. Microdermabrasion, which also physically exfoliates skin, does not remove vellus hair. Exfoliation of dead cells along with the removal of fine hairs results in healthier, brighter skin that has a smoother look and feel. Who should consider dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is especially effective on those with dry or rough skin texture and helps to minimize superficial acne scarring or uneven skin tone. It is also beneficial for mature skin, which tends to have a buildup of dead cells as cellular turnover slows down with age. Dermaplaning is safe for pregnant or lactating clients who cannot have chemical peels (peels penetrate skin to act at the cellular level, thus are contraindicated). Don't try this at home It's important to note that dermaplaning employs a specific technique requiring a delicate touch and a skilled approach to resurface skin. Thus, I don't recommend shaving at home as an alternative to dermaplaning, you can cause skin irritation, breakouts and infection of the skin if you do not care for skin properly. Unlike shaving, dermaplaning is performed freehand with a safe device (the average razor has two blades which are also duller than surgical blades) on tautly stretched skin. The methodology requires short strokes at a certain angle in particular patterns depending on the facial region.

4 Microdermabrasion & Dermaplaning Before and Aftercare Instructions Avoid taking blood thinners, ibuprofen, Acetaminophen and pain relievers before microdermabrasion & Dermaplaning although it may relieve pain temporarily it also thins the blood leaving you prone to bruising and broken capillaries.

Avoid vigorous exercises, hot yoga and swimming for hours after treatment Our preference would be to wait 10 days to 2 weeks, until the swelling and bruising from fillers have fully revolved. Botox also takes approximately 2 weeks to achieve the full effects. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks, to give enough time for your skin to recover after IPL Laser Treatment. Having a Chemical Peel 1-2 weeks prior to IPL Laser treatment will be a good idea as well. When the skin exfoliates the light from the IPL will penetrate better and you will have a more beneficial treatment. Microdermabrasion is also recommended 2 weeks after IPL treatment to exfoliate the dead skin cell and improve overall skin texture.

5 If you are having Laser Hair Removal you need to wait 10 days Microdermabrasion - usually Laser Hair Removal on Face is done monthly so 1 Microdermabrasion session fits nicely in between your Laser sessions. Do not use any exfoliating products containing AHA s for up to 7 days after. Microdermabrasion treatment. These can irritate the skin.

6 Micro-needling _ the treatment begins by first cleansing the face, then a growth factor serum is then applied all over. The Medical Aesthetician needles the serum in, apply another layer, then use a mask over the top to seal everything in. Keep in mind, this is not the same procedure as a "vampire facial," which uses growth factor from your own blood, and is recommended for very advanced signs of aging. It may sound like an intimidating procedure, no thanks to the word "needle" in its name, but the treatment can be considered a more effective way to do a facial aside from the numbing cream involved. "You're really building collagen and thickening the skin, so instead of looking good for a few days after your traditional facial, your skin is smooth and radiant for much longer, "It's such a safe procedure, and is great for filling in acne scars." Of course, the idea of getting needles inserted into your face for the sake of skincare can seem intimidating, but if you've seen the before and after shots, there's no questioning the treatment's effectiveness, and instead of using injectable fillers to repair an indented area, the process kick-starts your body's own natural collagen production to heal the skin on its own. $250 series of 4 $550 series of 6 $ 650 Micro-needing What Is It? A skin-rejuvenating procedure in which tiny needles create punctures in the top layer of skin with the goal of improving overall texture and appearance. Once an old-school beauty treatment, micro-needling is making a comeback among both the skincareobsessed and A-listers alike. The entire process takes about 15 minutes. A numbing cream is applied first, then the needles are moved across the skin using a small "It's great for acne scarring, and because it doesn't use heat and is totally mechanical, it's safe for all skin colors and types. The treatment is wonderful for smoothing out the skin and filling in acne scars, but if you have those small bumps from clogged pores, it can help to clear all of that up as well." Just make sure there aren't any inflamed or infected areas on your skin, and if you have a cystic breakout, wait until it clears up before going in for your appointment.

7 Who Should Do It? If you need to grow a thicker skin you're probably a good candidate. Does It Hurt? It shouldn't, provided that your practitioner numbs the area first. We use a cream to numb the skin really well, so we can go as deep as we need to. Afterwards you can expect the skin to be a little pink, and at the very worst, a few tiny punctate scabs that fade in a few days. Which Areas on the Body Can Be Treated? Microneedling isn't exclusive to just the face area. The treatment can be done anywhere the skin on the body needs to be thickened, particularly those that have stretch marks, like the legs, chest, or butt, and 4 to 6 sessions on average usually do the trick. How Often Can I Get It Done? Depends on the severity of the issue. "If your skin is generally fine and you take care of it, you can micro-needle every 3 to 6 months, but someone with dramatic acne scarring should plan to do one session per month for 4 to 6 months. After that, you can come in once a year for a touch-up whenever you feel like you need to give your skin a reboot."

8 What Should I Do Afterwards After Micro-needling Before and Aftercare Instructions? Ideally, you'll want to avoid putting on makeup for the rest of the day, but if you have prior commitments, it's totally safe to wear later in the night. "We advise people not to use retinol or anything too active for a few days, and a growth factor serum is recommended to put on before bed, and then again in the morning, "You can apply more in the morning, and you can go back to your regular makeup routine then, and the vials of growth factor serum should be used every night until you run out.
