Free article discusses the differences between professional microdermabrasion equipment and professional dermabrasion equipment and the respective benefits of each for skin and skincare. Introduces new Diamond-Dermabrasion technique performed with NUA SOLUTIONS’ Oxygenesis dermabrasion equipment.
Freckles aren’t my friend. I don’t care if you call them angel kisses or fly specks (thanks dad), to me, freckles mean sun damaged skin. And for millions of women like me, summer’s end means severe sun damage, brown spot pigmentation and dry, flaky skin. How can we treat it?
One of the safest, most popular treatments for treating sun damaged skin is microdermabrasion. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s (ASAPS) most recent report (2007), microdermabrasion is one of the top five nonsurgical aesthetic procedures performed in the United States.
What does it do? According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), microdermabrasion effectively:
· reduces wrinkles
· treats sun spots
· tightens loose skin
· improves skin tone and color
· removes blotchiness
It’s also used to shrink enlarged pores, fade stretch marks, clear clogged pores of debris, control oily skin and revitalize dull skin.
How does microdermabrasion work? It sloughs off (or exfoliates) the dull or damaged outer skin layers to reveal the fresh, youthful skin layers beneath. The result? Glowing, youthful skin that is healthy and breathes freely. In a single session, there are often great improvements in the texture, tone and color of skin.
For more severe or advanced skin problems, many professionals opt for the more aggressive dermabrasion technique. It resurfaces skin to smooth away advanced hyperpigmentation, chronic sun damage, deep lines and wrinkles, scars, skin lesions, precancerous skin degeneration and tattoos.
How does dermabrasion work? Dermabrasion ‘sands’ skin with a high-speed rotary instrument that has an abrasive brush or wheel. In effect, it scrapes off skin to stimulate the regrowth of healthy skin with a smoother, more youthful appearance. Since this technique is more invasive and requires local anesthesia before treatments and antibiotics or analgesics afterwards, it’s typically performed in an outpatient facility or dermatologist’s office. Soothing ointments and dressings are applied after treatments to reduce scab formation (crusting) and scarring. Immediately after dermabrasion, skin is red, swollen and quite painful. Healing times takes anywhere from two to three weeks.
But now there’s something new – and it’s called Diamond-Dermabrasion. It’s performed with NUA SOLUTIONS’ advanced new Oxygenesis system – the only all-in-one skin resurfacing system on the market today. With a wide range of both microdermabrasion and dermabrasion intensity levels, it offers tailored treatments for all skin layers.
But that’s not all the Oxygenesis system does – it also offers oxygen infusion massage. Each minute, 20 liters of pressurized oxygen surge onto skin, with about 70% of pure oxygen being absorbed by tissues. This added benefit increases blood circulation and facilitates oxygen delivery to cells for faster healing and advanced results. The newly exfoliated skin allows for a deeper penetration of the oxygen therapy, resulting in a more powerful stimulation of fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production) and thus dramatic anti-aging effects.
The best part? It requires no local anesthesia before treatments and no antibiotics or analgesics afterwards – more importantly, there is no down-time.
