Why is MicroDermAbrader® Home Microdermabrasion superior to salon treatments and competing products?
I. CUSTOMIZED CARE FOR ALL TO MAXIMIZE RESULTS
When you use the MicroDermAbrader® Home MicroDermAbrasion System, you control the intensity of the peeling and you decide what areas to target, whether specific problem areas (scars,mouth lines,crows feet,age spots,stretch marks,and so on) or an entire area (the face, décolleté, hands).
MicroDermAbrader® is PRECISION microdermabrasion. Unlike other home microdermabrasion kits offering rubber pads and spinning plastic machines which spread creams over a wide path, MicroDermAbrader® uses all organic materials, including our specially designed precision applicator pads, that allow you to treat ONLY the problem crease, wrinkle, line, etc.
Some areas, such as the hands, knees and elbows, are awkward for salon machines to treat. This is not the case with the MicroDermAbrader® leather pad which is small and flexible enough to reach any treatment area. You can use the pads to treat almost any area of skin on the body and can do so in the privacy of your own home.
II. SUPERIOR, AT-HOME CONVENIENCE
Many potential candidates for microdermabrasion have neither the time nor inclination for salon appointments. The MicroDermAbrader® system provides the unsurpassed privacy of an at-home treatment. It is quick to perform, discreet and fits into the busiest schedule. Treatments can be continued when you travel.
Home treatments can be much more comfortable, avoiding the stress of salon visits. For example, temporary redness is possible after microdermabrasion, depending on the skin's sensitivity and the intensity of the exfoliation. A temporarily flushed complexion may be no problem at home but at home you can also conceal any redness with your own light make-up. At a salon you may feel self-conscious as you have to leave with a red face.
III. CHEAPEST COST
This kit enables you to do your own treatments at home, over and over again, for the price of one salon visit. Do the math.The cost savings provide an incredible value. With MicroDermAbrader® Precision home microdermabrasion, you don't waste your MicroDermAbrader® supplies treating areas you don't want.
IV. EVEN BETTER RESULTS
The fact is, home microdermabrasion can actually prevent damaging the skin.
In the course of sucking up used crystals and skin debris, the handpiece on salon machines can stretch the skin, encouraging sagging and wrinkles. The suction action of the handpiece can also damage the capillaries, tiny blood vessels in the skin : if they burst, this leads to bruising and if they're dilated, this leads to spider veins.
V. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Unlike cosmetic surgery surgeons, salon employees go about their business relatively unscrutinized by their clients. People usually don't or can't check out the credentials of salon workers -not just whether aestheticians are well-trained,whether there are any complaints against them and whether they are properly qualified, but how sanitary their salon is and what their personal health history is and the health histories of their clients.
For the most part, this shouldn't cause alarm but with the development of paramedicial treatments such as microdermabrasion, a little more care should be exercised. This is because there are risks with salon microdermabrasion -risks of HIV and of Hepatitis B and C- that a home care kit doesn't have.
These kinds of problems are typically caused by contact with crystals and skin debris contaminated by other clients. As for the aestheticians themselves, they should wear gloves to avoid getting and spreading infections but very often don't. (See "Health and Safety Issues" page for more details.)
Why take such a big health risk for a beauty treatment that is cosmetically safer than dermabrasion, laser resurfacing and chemical peels ?
Microdermabrasion in itself is not inherently risky. It's a cumulative process, the lunchtime peel with no downtime. Given its basic safety, why take any risks with it ?
