Microdermabrasion

You want younger, fresher looking skin, but you don’t have the money or desire to go through the invasive process of a facelift. What other type of facial skin rejuvenation techniques are there that could produce age-reducing effects? Fortunately, there are several different methods of skin treatments available today that don’t involve incisions, stitches, or a whole lot of money. Three of the best options today are laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and facials.

Laser skin resurfacing is an excellent way to turn the clock back ten years on your face by eliminating your wrinkles, laugh lines, and crow’s feet. The skin on your face is resurfaced with the aid of a carbon dioxide laser which gently removes the oldest, top layers. The eradication of these layers allows new, healthy surface to cover the area and natural collagen production is stimulated to give you a tighter, smoother look.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia and there will be little or no pain afterwards. It does take about two weeks for rawness and swelling to subside as the new surface fills in and heals. The redness will continue for up to 3 months after which you will be able to enjoy the full benefit of the procedure. The risks include possible scarring, infection, or cold sore breakouts. Ideal candidates include basically anyone wanting to erase wrinkles, but results will be most dramatic for those with light complexions. The cost can run anywhere from $1000 to $3000.

Another great option is the microdermabrasion, or the power peel. This is a procedure that takes less than an hour and is very safe. It is most commonly used to get rid of acne, stretch marks, wrinkles, and age spots. Microdermabrasion involves blasting your face with a jet of tiny crystals made up of aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, corundum, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and magnesium oxide. These crystals clear out all the old dead skin cells, opening up your pores and leaving fresh, new surface on the face. You may have to have several treatments, depending on the extent of damage on facial surface, but after a few days when it becomes a little dry and flaky, you will have a younger look that will last for several years. There are virtually no risks involved and the cost of the procedure run in the range of $75 to $200.

And of course, you have the option of the basic facial. While the results will not be as dramatic and you may have to get treatments every four to six weeks, the cost is lower and there is very little risk of infection or complications. A facial consists of good cleansing of your skin by a licensed esthetician. The esthetician analyzes your skin with the use of a bright magnifying lamp, after which she exfoliates it with a vapor stream. This is followed by a facial massage, a mud mask, and the application of moisturizing creams. Anyone can get a facial as there are basically no risk factors and the cost is about $30 to $75 dollars.

So before you invest time and money into a complicated face lift surgery, check into the great skin rejuvenation options available. You will probably end up saving yourself a lot of pain and money!

Acne, commonly called pimples, is an inflammatory disease of the skin. It is caused by changes in the pilosebaceous. The most common form of acne is known as “acne vulgaris”, which means “common acne”. The hair folicles are blocked by the combination of oils and dead skin cells. Comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and inflammatory cysts are the different types of acme lesions. They are mainly caused on the face, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. These acne lesions are inflamed form of pus-filled reddish bumps that appear mainly during adolescence.

There are various factors causing acne. Some of them are the hormonal activities like the menstrual cycle and increased output of hormones from the adrenal glands. Accumulation of dead skin cells, bacteria in the pores, skin irritation or scratching, use of antibiotic steroids, use of medication containing halogens, lithium, barbiturates or androgens, and exposure to high levels of chlorine compounds can also cause acne.

Ace treatments can be done with the help of benzoyl peroxide, proactive solution, antibiotics, tretinion, isotretinion, contraceptive pills, salicylic acid, adapalene, laser treatment, blue light treatment and herbal remedies. 90% of adolescents have acne. Acne can be treated in various ways. Exfoliating the skin, using topical bactericidals, topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics, hormonal treatment, external retinoids, oral retinoids, and phototherapy are some of the methods of treating acne. The non inflammatory acne can be treated with azelaic, salicytic acid, topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide. The mild inflammatory acme can be treated with topical antibiotics. Isotretinion and topical retinoids are used to treat moderate inflammatory acne. Contraceptive pills with cyproterone can be used by females with virilization to treat severe inflammatory acne.

Acne often leaves a scar behind. There are various scar treatments to remove the mark -

·Dermabrasion - A high-speed rotary wire brush or diamond-coated fraise is used to remove the top layer of the skin to make the scar look less pitted. This is done by a cosmetic surgeon.

·Microdermabrasion - It involves blasting tiny crystals at the skin and rubbing the skin with a rough tool.

·Laser resurfacing - The top layer of the skin is burnt off by a laser.

·Punch excision - A punch tool is used, with the help of which the scar is excised, and the edges are sutured together.

·Chemical peels - Glycolic, salicylic, or lactic are applied to the skin to get a smoother layer in an acid peel.

·Subcision - A deep pool of blood is created under the scar by detaching the scar from deeper tissue. This blood helps form a connective tissue under the scar, thus levelling it with the surface.

·Dermal filler - An injectable filler is used to fill up the scar.

Mantaining a good hygeine with proper diet and medications help to reduce the occurance of acme, thus boosting your confidence level and self esteem.

There are numerous benefits of microdermabrasion to get rid of acne. One of the most salient advantages is that there is absolutely no downtime after treatment. The procedure evolved from a technique called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been around for many decades and was traditionally used to treat severe scarring by polishing the uppermost surface of the skin with an abrasive, metallic attachment . This highly effective technique requires recovery time and anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is much gentler and does less invasive skin-resurfacing.

It employs specially formulated solutions that are packed with the power of micro-crystals. The re-surfacing wand gently cleans your skin tissues and drives out dead skin cells, oil, and entrenched contaminants. A new skin surface is revealed, much healthier and revitalized. The treatment is completely painless, and should feel like a deep tissue massage.

This “lunch break” facial accommodates even the busiest schedule. Not only is the treatment quick, it’s also versatile. You can even perform a microdermabrasion session on yourself from the comfort of your home. Many home systems can even be incorporated into your morning routine. Ask your local salon about treatment deals.

Perhaps the best of all microdermabrasion benefits is that there are no pain-causing chemicals, scalpels, or lasers involved. Microdermabrasion does not utilize any of these tools or chemicals, therefore effectively erasing all risks, recovery time, and commitment for comparable results.

Microdermabrasion costs only a fraction of the thousands of dollars that most cosmetic surgeries and other invasive skin enhancing treatments cost. Microdermabrasion is just a fraction of the cost. Home kits can be bought for as low as $20. Professional spa clinicians and medical professionals offer microdermabrasions treatments for as low a $100.

Microdermabrasion fuses beauty and health into a single treatment, providing a safe alternative to invasive, skin-resurfacing techniques. So with peace of mind, indulge your skin with one of the most innovative and effective skincare techniques to come along in decades. As always, consult your doctor or skin care specialist on any treatment program.

Although Microdermabasion has many advantages, it is suitable for only certain types of skin and severity of acne scarring. Microdermabrasion may not show any results at all for some, especially those with medium and severe scarring.

Microdermabrasion is growing in popularity as a way for treating acne. While it’s true that microdermabrasion isn’t only an acne treatment hundreds of thousands of people can attest to the effectiveness of microdermabrasion in helping get rid of acne.

Both professional microdermabrasion treatment and home systems can be used for treating acne. Home systems are cheaper and easy to use, although results with professional microdermabrasion are longer lasting and more significant.

While discussing microdermabrasion results for acne, it should be stated that acne has various causes. The effectiveness of microdermabrasion as an acne treatment is not the same for every acne patient. Some people see improvements after only one treatment session, while others require several treatments before seeing improvements.

Microdermabrasion treats acne through two effects. By exfoliating of the outermost layer of skin, blocked pores, which are a major cause of acne, become unclogged. By unblocking the skin pores by exfoliating, microdermabrasion allows bacteria from underneath the skin’s surface to be eliminated from the skin naturally.

Microdermabrasion treatment uses crystals which rub against the surface of the skin and perform the exfoliation. The most commonly used microdermabrasion crystals are made from aluminum oxide. This substance has anti-bacterial properties which mean when they are applied to the skin they kill the bacteria, which reduces the chances of acne returning.

Some patients see an immediate surge in acne after receiving treatment. While this may be alarming, it is in fact positive because the acne is being purged from the deeper layers of skin. The bacteria that had previously been trapped under the skin are released and the temporary acne breakout means the bacteria is coming out. After three or four days the acne begins to disappear leaving the skin much improved.

Tattoo removal is a serious process and often tattoo removal takes longer than deciding to get one and which one to get. Before you make that decision, you may wish to learn more about what tattoo removal entails. Educate yourselves now and then make an informed decision.

A Little Tattoo History and Why Tattoo Removal

Tattoos have become a part of our American culture over the past few decades. There is an estimated 10 million Americans that have at least one tattoo, and at least 44,000 tattoo studios in America. Tattoos are a great way to express yourself. Having a tattoo may have seemed like a great idea at the time, but things change. We find new loves, new jobs, and new tastes. So if the remnants of your past choice of tattoo no longer compliment your present, its time to think about tattoo removal.

One half of all people with tattoos have considered removing them. Besides the obvious reasons of removing tattoos for career enhancement, there are other reasons why many people elect to remove tattoos. As skin ages, tattoos tend to fade and deform. A tattoo that once was shown with pride may lose its attractiveness and, in some cases, even become an embarrassment. Even a change of weight can change a prized tattoo to something less than appealing.

Here are a few things that you should know about tattoo removal, before you get the tattoo:

Laser Tattoo Removal

-Lasers can get rid of most tattoos without scarring.

-It will take 6 to 12 laser treatments to completely remove a tattoo.

-The toughest body parts to remove tattoos include the ankles, hands and fingers.

-Older tattoos with less colors are easier to remove.

-Lasers, surgical excision, and dermabrasion can all be used to remove tattoos.

-Laser removal of tattoos can actually be a bit painful.

Removing a tattoo is no easy process and an important point that people should understand BEFORE getting a tattoo. It is much easier to get the tattoo than to remove it. Here are some of your tattoo removal options:

Tattoo Removal Options

-You could get your tattoo covered by a new tattoo that may need to be around 50% bigger to effectively hide the existing tattoo.

-Laser treatment is the most common method. The process contains wavelengths of light are used for different pigments. The laser beam then passes through the skin and is absorbed by the ink. Once the ink breaks down it can be removed by the body’s lymphatic system.

-If the tattoo is too deep or too small for laser treatment, the skin with the pigment can be cut away and the edges sewn together.

-Dermabrasion literally rubs the tattooed skin away with an abrasive tool, over several treatments. If the tattoo is deep, a skin graft may also be necessary.

-Versapulse laser, offering a quick procedure for removing unwanted tattoos. This laser is a low energy laser which can minimize the risk of burning.

-Tat Gone ink removal. After several applications, some see a huge improvement.

Price of Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal is definitely not cheap. A tattoo that costs $40.00 to have it put on can cost $4500.00 to have removed by laser, taking a year or more. Plus, it would leave a scar shaped like the tattoo that would not tan.

Tattoo Removal is a long process. Sometimes the process of tattoo removal is longer than the process of selecting the tattoo.

One of the biggest problems people have is scarring on the skin caused by acne. We can carry acne scars even as early as in our 20s. Not only that, scars can cause a myriad of other problems such as the lack of elasticity, dryness, and flakiness on the skin. None of us wants to look older than we really are, and there are now several treatments that help us maintain a truly youthful complexion.

Almost all spas today offer spa skin peels. There are many kinds of skin peels - they are also called resurfacing techniques because of the nature of the procedure.

A skin peel typically involves removing the outmost layers of the skin until a smoother, clearer, and more youthful complexion is revealed from underneath. That being said, a skin peel can have various purposes. An individual may want a skin peel to remove scars, minimize wrinkles, even out the skin tone, or get rid of blemishes and cysts.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of the safest options you can try out at a spa. The technique uses tiny, abrasive beads or crystals to gradually remove the top layers of the skin. The term “abrasive” should not be confused as something harsh.

In fact, microdermabrasion is not painful and most people are very comfortable with the technique. You can even purchase a home microdermabrasion kit and give yourself a spa treatment in the comfort of your own home. These types of kits usually contain micro-spheres to even out the skin while removing bumps caused by inflammation and reducing the depth of acne scars. These at home products are generally milder than what you would find at a professional spa.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels work a similar way to microdermabrasion. They remove layers of damaged skin but this time using chemicals. The types of chemicals used in chemical peels are Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), Phenol and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs).

Trichloroacetic Acid is typically used to remove fine surface wrinkles, pigment problems and blemishes. When this chemical is used, results may be less dramatic than expected and more sessions may be required, which can be costly.

Phenol is the strongest chemical used in a chemical peel treatment and is effective at removing course wrinkles, sun damage, and pre-cancerous growths in the skin. However, phenol can lighten some areas of the skin, and results can depend on your existing skin tone. Phenol is typically applied on the face and can cause scarring if applied to the neck or rest of the body.

Aphpahydroxy Acids are the mildest and equally effective chemicals used in a spa skin peel treatment. It is especially for those who don’t want to take too long recovering as in the case of Phenol and TCA peels. AHA peels are mild and safe because the chemicals are derived from natural sources such as lactic, glycolic and fruits acids. And just like with microdermabrasion, you can have an AHA peel in your own home.

Until now, professional-quality microdermabrasion treatments cost up to $200.00 each. Over the counter products now let you do it yourself at home and save! Crystal-bonded applicators use the same aluminum oxide crystals as expensive medical-grade machines stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, just like a professional treatment - for comparable results at an affordable price!

HOW IT WORKS

Microdermabrasion at a doctor’s office or spa: Aluminum oxide crystals, the hardest and best for microdermabrasion, are applied under high pressure with a medical-grade device by trained doctors and aestheticians.

Exfoliating Machines and Creams: Cream-based formulae are often applied with a “free” motorized device to appear more effective. But cream reduces abrasion, so stimulation of collagen and elastin is negligible.

Home Microdermabrasion: Medical-grade aluminum oxide crystals applied directly to the skin stimulate production of elastin and collagen just like a professional treatment.

EFFECTIVENESS

Microdermabrasion at a doctor’s office or spa: Most effective removal of dead, damaged skin cells. Stimulates production of elastin and collagen to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, etc., but too costly to do regularly.

Exfoliating Machines and Creams: Exfoliation of superficial dead skin cells may produce a temporary glowing effect with daily use. Minimal stimulation of skin or impact on wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars or other blemishes.

Home Microdermabrasion: Removes dead and damaged skin cells, which strengthens and thickens skin just like professional treatments, reducing acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes.

EASE OF USE

Microdermabrasion at a doctor’s office or spa: Requires regular appointments and travel to a doctor’s office or spa. Skin needs time to heal after treatment, so should only be done periodically.

Exfoliating Machines and Creams: Must be used almost every day for as much as 10-15 minutes. Minimal affect on skin after treatment.

Home Microdermabrasion: Do it yourself right at home. Skin needs a brief time to heal afterwards, just like a doctor’s treatment. Use every two weeks, NOT every day.

COST

Microdermabrasion at a doctor’s office or spa: Up to $200 per treatment

Exfoliating Machines and Creams: $39.95 - $129.95

Home Microdermabrasion: $79.95 6 Applications

COST FOR 90 DAYS

Microdermabrasion at a doctor’s office or spa: Up to $1,200 or more. Regular treatments cost thousands!

Exfoliating Machines and Creams: $100 - $300.00; $3 to $5 a day

Home Microdermabrasion: $79.95; Less than $1 a day

* Microdermabrasion requires appropriate skin care afterwards to help heal and protect your new skin, including the custom-designed moisturizers, hydrating lotions and sun screens.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in the United States increased performed in 2005 increased by 45 percent from 2003. Over 9.2 million procedures were performed in 2005. The most frequently performed procedure was Botox injection.

The top five nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in 2005 were:

1. Botox injection (3,294,782 up 45 percent from 2003)

2. Laser hair removal (1,566,909, up 70 percent)

4. Microdermabrasion (1,023,931, up 19 percent)

5. Hyaluronic acid (1,194,222 up 928 percent)

What makes a procedure profitable? The difference between the expense of using the equipment vs. the revenue the equipment generates. Your equipment should easily pay for itself.

Types of equipment available? You will find different manufacturers will specialize in certain products such as laser hair removal equipment, microdermabrasion machines, injections, cellulite reduction equipment and so on. Lately, the trend has been to combine several treatments in one machine (i.e. hair removal, acne treatment, and skin photo rejuvenation). You will need to decide how many treatment rooms you will have, and what procedures you will offer in each. Before making any equipment decisions, you need a solid business plan in place.

Top 5 Nonsurgical Cosmetic Procedures

Botox Injections

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS): The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes. This is a medical procedure and should be completed in a surgical center environment.

Hair Removal

There are many different technologies available to perform hair removal. There are machines that use LHE (Light Heat Therapy), Nd:YAG, Diode and IPL.

Many manufactures make machines that will do multiple procedures. These machines will range from $40,000-$150,000.

Chemical Peel

Chemical peels use a chemical solution to in effect smooth the face.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles, scars and unwanted pigmentation.

Generally speaking, there are usually two versions of microdermabrasion, one uses crystals and the other one uses diamonds. Both crystal and diamond microdermabrasion machines have slightly different benefits to them, so deciding which machine you should get for your spa between the two can be a very confusing process. Omlas, a microdermabrasion equipment manufacturer and distributor has solved this problem by developing the Lux Peel IB-9000. The Lux Peel IB-9000 is a revolutionary microdermabrasion system, which gives the technician performing the treatment the option of using crystals or diamonds, or both at the same time.

Hyaluronic Acid

According to ASAPS, Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide, that in appropriate form, is a versatile soft tissue filler. Currently available as the product name Restylane (also Restylane Fine Line and Perlane) distributed by the Medicis company, and Hylaform distributed by a company named Inamed. Hyaluronic acid is being widely used for the management of wrinkles, fine lines, contour deformities, and volumetric deficiencies of face, cheeks, and lips associated with aging, developmental anomalies, and certain diseases. Restylane/Hylaform does not represent the final answer in the search for an ideal tissue filler but provides a predictable, safe, user-friendly approach.

The results can last up to six months. It is especially effective for the nasolabial folds, lip augmentation, and areas of contour deformities. It is also an ideal adjunct for Botox treatment and is frequently used in conjunction with Botox to correct lines and creases that persist.

If your goal is to maintain profitability, you need to focus on the most requested procedures (the demand). You will notice the top procedures are for Anti-Aging and Hair Removal.

One word of caution: If you deviate from the well-know procedures, you risk spending excessive time educating your clients.

Generally speaking you want to focus on procedures that are non-ablative, comfortable, and show relatively quick results. MedSpa customer’s also want procedures completed in short time-frames, so try to not exceed an hour for any one procedure. Remember to look for treatment speed when looking to buy a new laser hair removal machine for your spa. The Goddess made by Omlas is currently one of the three fastest laser hair removal machines on the market today. The Goddess reduces treatment time for large areas such as the full back or full legs by up to 75%.

The high profit procedures are: Hair Removal, Microdermabrasion and Skin Rejuvenation (wrinkle reduction, spot removal, leg veins, tattoo removal, etc.). So try to stick to these procedures as much as possible and you will see the financial rewards.
