There are no particles used with vibraderm. Stainless steel paddles are used to smooth the skin. The paddles are textured for exfoliation. Most patients report a relaxing vibrating sensation.

A Vibradermabrasion is the latest technology and employs crystal-free exfoliation. Also, the Vibraderm allows the client to have an additional skin treatment immediately afterwards- such as a peel, masque or photofacial.

Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure used to treat facial skin that has been damaged by the sun and age. Microdermabrasion can give the skin a fresh, healthy appearance by minimizing acne scars, age spots, blemishes caused by sun damage, crow's feet, fine lines, and superficial wrinkles.

Microdermabrasion treatments eliminate the pain and discomfort plus the risk of an adverse reaction to a conventional peel. Microdermabrasion treatments are more predictable in the way they interact with your skin. Another method of removing wrinkles and lines involves a laser, which you have probably heard about. Laser treatment is expensive, penetrates quite deeply and requires local or general anesthetic.

A:While the microdermabrasion is essentially a risk free procedure, especially since the introduction of the crystal free systems, there are a small number of people who should not have microdermabrasion. These include people with active rosacea or cystic acne, active herpes, warts, or those currently using AccutaneTM or other retinoic acid containing medication.
