CHAPTER 2
PERFORMING A MICRODERMABRASION TREATMENT
Microdermabrasion removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. It thickens the outer layer, or epider-
mis, of the skin and increases the production of new skin cells, collagen and elastin. Microdermabrasion
leaves the skin smooth and clean with mild redness (erythema). Complete at least 5 peels to achieve a
lasting effect. The patient who follows a proper skin-care program will enjoy long-lasting improvement
in the skin.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:
PEEL # 1
This peel should be a conservative peel if the skin technician does not know the patient’s skin and reac-
tion to other irritants, such as glycolics, Retin-A, etc., although these products can be incorporated into
a beneficial MegaPeel EX® program. Before the treatment, ask the patient if redness is acceptable and
inform the patient that redness may last for a day (the pre-consultation should address this issue). Adjust
setting lower if patient is apprehensive. The setting generally found to be most successful for the 1st peel
is approximately 45 – 50 kPa using the clear divided tip.
PEEL # 2
When the patient comes into the office for the 2nd treatment, find out how quickly he/she recovered
from the 1st treatment. Usually, the patient will report quick healing time, and with the patient’s consent,
the technician can be more aggressive with this peel. Increase the kPa and adjust according to the pa-
tient’s tolerance. Make as many slow, even passes over the treatment area as necessary.
PEEL # 3 +
After the 2nd peel, assess the patient’s recovery time. If you were aggressive, it may be necessary to space
this peel 10 – 14 days after the 2nd peel. As you become more aggressive and incorporate more aggres-
sive home care products, allow the skin to heal for up to two weeks before proceeding with another ag-
gressive peel. The gold tip and hand-piece may be used at this point once the patient is interested in a
more aggressive treatment.
