Skin Rejuvenation SmartPeel^TM Microdermabrasion "Skin Exfoliation" System

How does SmartPeel™ Microdermabrasion work? 

SmartPeel™ combines two important elements. A stream of pure crystals delivered to the outer layers of the skin and a vacuum to increase circulation.  As damaged cells are lifted away from the skin surface, new cell production is stimulated at the base layers of the skin.  The skin will gradually appear smoother, firmer, younger, and more radiant.  This is also very effective for the treatment and control of problem skin.  For maximum results a routine of 6 to 10 treatments are recommended at 1-2 week’s intervals.  Maintenance visits for age management are recommended quarterly, and more often for the treatment of skin dysfunction.

How long do treatments take?

Most facial visits take up to 30 minutes.  Treatments that include the neck and décolleté can take up to an hour.  Time will vary for body exfoliation such as hand, arms or back treatments.

Why SmartPeel™ over other exfoliation procedures?

SmartPeel™ offers quick results with a minimal healing time and is a cost effective alternative to more invasive procedures.

Will I experience discomfort during the procedure? 

SmartPeel™ Microdermabrasion was designed with the safety and comfort of the client in mind.  The unique anti-viral filtration system, comfort hand piece and reproducible controls allow us to customize the treatment to your specific skin type. With any type of exfoliation, some redness may occur and sensitivity to active products or topical prescriptions may be enhanced.  Most side effects are minimal and generally fade within the first 24 hours.  The majority of people receiving a SmartPeel™ treatment return to normal activity immediately.

What are the specific applications?

• Superficial skin exfoliation for removal of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduction of open pores
• Gentle removal of thickened skin areas due to environmental factors
• Reduction of blemishes induced by overexposure to the sun
• Reduction of pigmentation changes and age spots
• Blending of scars and other surface imperfections
• Elimination of blackheads and whiteheads
• Improvement of acne scars when the condition is not inflammatory 

Why is SmartPeel™ different to a Glycolic peel? Glycolic peels are quite superficial and do not remove as much dead material as the SmartPeel™ treatment.  As a guide, no less than twelve glycolic peels are required to duplicate the effects of just three SmartPeel™ treatments.  In addition, the SmartPeel™ Treatment eliminates the risk of adverse reaction to the conventional chemical peel and is more predictable in the way it interacts with your skin.  The other methods of removing fine lines and wrinkles involve a laser, which you have probably heard about.  Laser treatment is very expensive, penetrates quite deeply and requires local or general anesthetic.  While this is a good procedure for deeper wrinkles, the healing time is very long and sometimes takes months.
