DermaSweep Microdermabrasion (Available at our Sparks Office)

Microdermabrasion is a skin-revitalizing treatment that helps repair skin that is damaged from the sun, scars, acne and the unwanted effects of aging. A trained professional uses gentle abrasion with suction to remove (or peel) the dead, outer layer of skin in order to stimulate and reveal new healthy skin underneath. DermaSweep offers the latest innovations in particle-free microdermabrasion and revolutionary patent-pending treatment bristle tips for tailored and optimal results.

What is skin resurfacing or skin rejuvenation?

Answer: Skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation are terms commonly used to describe microdermabrasion (see above). There are different methods of skin resurfacing ranging from sand blasting to chemical peels. DermaSweep eliminates the discomfort of sand blasting and utilizes particle-free technology.

How does DermaSweep work?

Answer: DermaSweep features a closed system with a variable level vacuum pump that gently lifts the skin surface as the device "sweeps away" the dead layer of skin in a precise and controlled manner. The skin is left smoother as the vacuum action of the wand stimulates blood flow and cleans the pores. The increased blood flow encourages collagen formation thus firming and toning the epidermis.

Using the Epi-Infusion option, skin specific solutions can be directly applied to the skin leaving patients with fresher-feeling and better-looking skin.

DermaSweep's patent-pending treatment tips are available in up to 9 combinations for comfort and precise results.

Selecting the appropriate tip, infusion solution and adjustable vacuum pressure delivers safe, controlled and optimal results.

Add a DermaSweep’s Epi-Infusion to your treatment!

Answer: DermaSweep Epi-Infusion treatments combine exfoliation with the delivery of skin specific topical solutions, leaving patients with fresher feeling and better looking skin.

DermaSweep’s topical solutions are formulated to treat specific dermatological conditions. The solution is applied under vacuum pressure at the same time the system exfoliates the epidermis.

An effective treatment is tailored to each patient's unique skincare needs.

The following is a short list of topical solutions and skin conditions that can be addressed with the Epi-Infusion wand:

• Acne- Salicylic Acid, a medicated solution for the treatment of Acne and clogged pores
• Dehydration- Hyaluronic Acid containing Aloe Vera and Chamomile. This solution is especially formulated for normal to dry, combination and sensitive skin.
• Hyperpigmentation- This skin brightening solution with hydroquinone, azelaic acid and kojic acid works to lighten pigmentation.

Is the treatment painful or come with side effects?

Answer: The treatment is painless.

You may feel mild tightening or tingling after exfoliation but the skin will be quite smooth. The moisture of any topical treatment will leave your skin with a cool, refreshed feeling.

An anti-oxidant enriched sunscreen is essential to use afterwards since the exfoliated skin has temporarily lost some of its natural protection to the environment. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for a few days.

What will my skin look after treatment?

Answer: Your skin will be instantly smoother and you will notice a vibrant glow after the first treatment. Hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and stretch-marks will lessen gradually over a series of microdermabrasion treatments.

When will I see results?

Answer: Your skin will have a warm, pinkish glow that may last up to 30 minutes. Your post treatment care is simple and easy and will be explained by your specialist.

How long will the results last?

Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4 to 6 treatments spaced over 10 days to two weeks apart, supported by a daily post treatment routine.

If you’re undergoing microdermabrasion in combination with laser skin rejuvenation (photorejuvenation or chemical peels), then the results will last much longer.

Will I miss work or need to stay indoors?

Answer: The DermaSweep treatment can be done during a normally scheduled office visit and in most cases you can return to your normal activities.

However, it is advisable to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a few days after your treatment.

What will I do after the treatment?

Answer: A home skincare regime will be recommended to maintain the results of your treatment.
