Microdermabrasion Protocol
5.1
Microdermabrasion Schedule
The Essential Peel microdermabrasion system is used to perform surface skin exfoliation. Informing the client and setting
reasonable expectations is essential to prevent disappointment, especially with problem skin. It may take multiple
abrasion procedures before seeing improvements and
clients should be made aware.
Microdermabrasion sessions should be scheduled at 8 to 15 day intervals, depending on client’s skin type:
§
Oily and thick skin: 8 days;
§
Normal skin: 10 days;
§
Dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin: 15 days.
A series consists of 6 to 12 microdermabrasion sessions.
The number of sessions will be also determined by the client’s age and problem
severity
(flaws, pigmentation, etc.).
After 6 sessions, results should be evaluated and a second series may be suggested.
One procedure per month is recommended to maintain results.
