With the California Peel, the skin is lifted by a precision handpiece and gently abraded by a blast of fine aluminum oxide crystals. The handpiece gradually glides across the skin's surface, removing the dead outer layer of skin and erasing fine lines and blemishes to uncover the smoother, younger-looking skin underneath. The California Peel is effective on all colors of skin. The simple process is virtually pain-free and can be performed without any anesthesia in most patients.

Absolutely. This is by far the most effective way to improve your skin’s appearance. A combination program of chemical peel-microdermabrasion should also be followed for six weeks for optimal results.

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.

You should start with the Microdermabrasion first. For the first week, do several microdermabrasions as outlined below, then, wait a week without doing any microdermabrasions, and after 7 days of giving your skin a break, do your first Skin Peel. Then after that, do a microdermabrasion every other week alternating with a Skin Peel.

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.

The purpose of a chemical peel is to remove the layers of dead skin, revealing fresh skin underneath. The body creates new cells to replace the ones that the peel removes. Many medical specialists believe that new collagen is also generated following the peel procedure. In a chemical peel, we apply an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to cleansed skin. The acid is left on for a short time (this depends on the condition of the skin, your tolerance level, etc).

You may have small flaking present. If this is bothersome to you, consider a microdermabrasion. This will cut down on the flaking.

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.
