Microdermabrasion Procedure (20-40 min.)
Essential Peel microdermabrasion system is intended and should be used by licensed estheticians for esthetic purpose
only.
The microdermabrasion procedure is divided into three basic phases:
Phase 1– general
- involves the whole face. Use linear sweeps as per directions on the face chart. Consisting of one
single pass and covering the entire face. Use rapid passes when working on sensitive skin
Phase 2- problem areas
– Always use rapid passes when working on sensitive areas such as the cheek bone and
under the eyes. Use “back and forth” linear passes when encountering wrinkles or scars. For pigmented spots, use a
circular sweeping motion. To cover large areas with enlarged pores or uneven skin tone, use a square pattern,
overlapping sweeps, as per directions on the face chart.
Phase 3- neck
- Be cautious and work with lower intensities, the skin is thinner and more sensitive in this area. Always
use single passes with a rapid motion. The skin must be pink never red.
Phase 3 is also used at the end of each session to even the
exfoliation
, if the skin is not red or irritated you can use
linear sweeps over the entire face.
Important:
Between phases, it is important to remove excess crystals and reassess the skin using a magnifying
lamp,
Always use magnifying lamp to assess skin reaction.
Immediately after microdermabrasion:
•
Remove crystal residues from the face.
•
Apply a soothing cream and massage the skin. The cream will pick up remaining residues.
•
Using wet gauzes, remove the cream, and rinse thoroughly with a soothing lotion.
•
Apply a soothing moisturizing mask*, leave on for indicated time, remove.
•
Spray on a soothing lotion and apply a protective cream with sunscreen.
Do not use a heat mask. We recommend the use of a cold modeling mask to reduce redness.
Important recommendations:
ü
Always test strength of
exfoliation
on client’s forearm.
ü
Always begin with the forehead, working your way down to the chin and neck.
ü
Between phases always reassess the exfoliation. Skin should not be red but may have a pinkish tone.
Note:
Client may feel a tingling sensation as products are being applied. Skin may feel heat sensation similar to light sunburn.
Session Duration
The duration of a session depends on the skin condition
and the skin surface.
The number of passes/sweeps will be
higher on the body than on the face. The speed at which the sweeps are carried out also has an effect on intensity of
exfoliation.
