Macrodermabrasion is a revolutionary new non-chemical skin care treatment to rejuvenate sun damaged skin of the face, neck, décolleté and other areas of the body.
Macrodermabrasion is the next generation of technology of dermabraders that have made the "lunch time peel" so popular. A major improvement over microdermabrasion systems is the use of positive pressure to rejuvenate the skin. In addition, the new machine uses water-soluble particulate as a dermabrasive instead of aluminum oxide/corundum particles. When combined with the use of ultrasound to gently massage specially-formulated macrodermabrasion products into the treatment area, the results can be even more dramatic. Further, our system employs "smart sensing" technology, making the macrodermabrasion process simple and fast -- with no downtime.

Macrodermabrasion: An Attractive Alternative to Chemical Peel
Have you ever wished you could rejuvenate your skin, improve its texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines? Improvements like these can be yours with macrodermabrasion treatments from the skin care center at the Advanced Facial Cosmetic & Laser Surgery Center.
“Our patients tell us that their skin looks brighter, smoother, more refreshed,” says aesthetician Penny Forsten. “Women also find that they use less make-up, and their make-up applies more easily and evenly.”
The DermMaster® Salt-A-Peel™ technology available at the Center is the most advanced exfoliating treatment available. It works by gently blowing highly purified salt crystals over the skin to remove the upper epidermal tissue. The treatment uses only positive pressure - no negative pressure or vacuuming - to achieve its beneficial effect.
Unlike microdermabrasion which typically involves aluminum oxide abrasives, macrodermabrasion uses only natural salt crystals to gently exfoliate the skin and protect the health of newly exposed epidermal cells. The salt is a safe, non-toxic alternative that occurs naturally in our bodies and helps to maintain a healthy Ph and electrolytic balance.
Macrodermabrasion has been scientifically proven to increase collagen and elastin, and stimulate their production. It also does not involve the downtime associated with chemical peels; hence, it is often referred to as “the lunchtime peel.”
The treatment evens the tone and texture of skin, smoothes fine lines, and improves skin clarity and radiance. It also rejuvenates sun damaged skin and treats such conditions as actinic keratoses (rough, thickened areas caused by exposure to UV rays).
Macrodermabrasion can be used as an alternative to aggressive chemical peels, to improve your skin and avoid the downtime and other side effects associated with peels. Penny recommends that you consult with the Center, where a custom treatment plan will be designed just for you. |
