I LOVE MICRODERMABRASION....BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN DO IT!!!

It's a wonderful treatment to remove dead skin from the Stratum Corneum

(the outer layer of our skin) IT IS A NON INVASIVE WAY TO BRIGHTENED THE SKIN.

WITH ZERO DOWN TIME!!! (ONE SESSION CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE)


These are a few of things when MICRODERMABRASION should not be done!

this IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU AND YOUR Esthetician TO KNOW.....


Active Skin Infections, Severe inflammatory acne, open wounds and rosacea...

You must also avoid the treatment if you took isotretinoin ((ACCUTANE) IN THE

PAST 12 MONTHS, HAVE UNCONTROLLED DIABETES, OR HAVE A HISTORY OF KELOID SCARRING.


I THINK IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR ESTHETICIAN TO KNOW THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU GET STARTED.

HERE ARE FEW MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:


Active cold sores, (Herpes Simplex) or warts

Bacterial or fungal skin infections

Active, inflamed, or pustular acne

Open cuts, scrapes, or broken skin

Sunburned or windburned skin.


Although your Esthetician may see some of these things, she cannot see all of it you need to tell her what's going on with your skin.


CHRONIC SKIN DISORDERS


Rosacea or fragile capillaries

Eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis flare-ups

History of Keloids

Moles or skin cancers


Use of Accutane within the last 6 to 12 months

Recent chemical peels or waxing in the past 7-10days.

Blood thinning medications which can cause bruising.

Active chemotherapy or radiation treatments
