Important facts!

Mandelic acid
has a long history of use in the medical community as an antibacterial.It has also been used as an oral antibiotic. In skin care, it is also an alternative to glycolic acid in skin care products. Mandelic acid is also advantageous in that it possesses antibacterial properties, whereas glycolic acid does not. Its use as a skincare modality was pioneered by Dr James E. Fulton, who developed vitamin A acid (tretinoin, Retin A)in 1969.On the basis of this research, dermatologists now suggest mandelic acid for a wide variety of skin concerns, from acne to wrinkles; it is especially good in the treatment of adult acne as it addresses both of these concerns. Mandelic acid is also recommended is a pre- and post-laser treatment, reducing the amount and length of irritation caused by laser resurfacing.


What Results To Expect From Power Peel Microdermabrasion Unit?
Some specialists who have used the Power Peel microdermabrasion machine say that the Power Peel equipment does work on fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation, seborrhea and psoriasis, dull and blemished skin. They also say that the system can be used successfully on the whole body.

We found a preliminary Power Peel report, written by dr. Steven B. Hopping illustrating results from a case study carried out in Philadelphia, in November 1996. Four patients were treated for blotchy skin, mild to moderate wrinkles, acne scarring, and enlarged pores.

The clinical results showed:

More uniform skin tone
Fewer wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes
Scars were less noticeable
Pores were less prominent
The skin was overall softer and smoother

Intense Pulsed Light is a non-invasive procedure capable of diminishing or removing age spots (liver spots), fine wrinkles (rhytids), facial flushing, redness, broken capillaries, freckles, minor sun damage, tattoos, varicose veins, spider veins, flat birth marks and hypo-pigmentation. Unfortunately, IPL is not recommended for dark skinned people and persons suffering from oily skin. In short, IPL and micro derma brasion have similar results and are both non-invasive, but micro dermabration has fewer contraindications.

Can You Apply Makeup After Microdermbrasion?
Some specialists recommend using mild make-up to cover the redness on your face while others say that any type of liquid or powder foundation or any other type of cover up is absolutely forbidden in the first 2-3 days after micro abrasion The best thing to do is ask the doctor who performed the procedure whether you can use foundation or not immediately after the treatment. All doctors agree, though, that some mascara and lip gloss are completely harmless.

Q: Microdermabration Is It Effective On The Body?
Do-It-Yourself microderm abrasion systems can be used on your body as long as it's especially formulated as a body micro dermal abrasion tool.
