David Suzuki looks at the latest technology for offering customised services to every skin type
During a wet/dry microdermabrasion application the operator will use an array of topically applied products along with the device, each designed to address specific objectives. This part of the equation is key as the fluids themselves help create a smoother application, they typically contain a myriad of key ingredients to cool the skin as well as mitigate redness and irritation, and of course target specific skin concerns.
Fluid formulations that can be used with such devices include acne, hydrating, brightening, and some variations of foam chemical
peels.All abraded skin and used fluids are vacuumed away hygienically, leaving the skin smooth and hydrated. No sand in the ears, no-over exfoliated skin, no redness or irritation. Only beautiful skin!
one size fits all?
One of the key factors in the success of traditional crystal microdermabrasion was its assertive nature.A downfall of this characteristic is that it was very much a one size fits all type of service, with very little variation of intensity. Because of this lack of control, the service could only be performed once every two to three weeks and was simply not applicable to all skin types. While wet/dry microdermabrasion can be equally assertive, the broad array of abrasive discs and topically applied fluid options allow complete and precise control such that the services to be performed weekly if desired, and performed on all skin types.
With wet/dry microdermabrasion, it is very typical to perform multiple passes with each pass using a different abrasion intensity and a different topically applied fluid. The tips and fluids can be changed and applied in seconds, allowing for three or four passes to be completed in less than five or six minutes. This exacting layered approach allows the skin therapist to zero in on the details necessary to meet each client’s unique objectives, all while keeping the skin in a perfectly calm and hydrated state.
accent service or stand alone?
There is no doubt that wet/dry microdermabrasion meets the criterion of a ‘stand alone’ service as the results are absolutely phenomenal.While at the same time, this technology remains an essential base service to perform in preparing the skin for other layered technology services.
When performing wet/dry microdermabrasion as the focal point of a series of layered services, or on its own, manufacturers suggest four to six services performed weekly. Monthly services are suggested for optimum maintenance.
looking to the future
Evolution is what it is, perpetual. Wet/dry microdermabrasion will likely not be the last form of successful exfoliation that the world will
see.At the same time, it has all of the intelligent forward thinking attributes and details to ensure that it will be a mainstay in our industry for decades to come.
If you want to keep your business on the cutting edge, are in the market for a new microdermabrasion device, or are a new aesthetician starting your business, wet/dry microdermabrasion should be the first technology on your list.
