Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive epidermal treatment that removes the dead and damaged surface layer of skin cells to reveal healthier new skin cells underneath. This stimulates the deeper dermal layer of skin to produce more collagen and elastin, giving the skin a younger, firmer, more supple appearance. Medical-quality microderm-abrasion blasts or "abrades" skin with aluminum oxide crystals applied by a doctor or trained aesthetician. Only licensed professionals at a doctor's office or skin care salon can use these $10,000 FDA-approved devices. Up to 12 treatments is usually required costing thousands of dollars!



Medical resurfacing treatments like dermabrasion, chemical peeling and laser resurfacing can be effective, too, but are expensive and have the potential for serious complications. In contrast, Dermanesse is designed to use at home, eliminating the need for costly equipment and high-priced medical professionals. Dermanesse uses the same, sterile aluminum oxide crystals found in medical-grade machines, embedded in patent-pending DermaSponge applicators you safely apply yourself. Dermanesse actually removes a layer of dead, damaged skin cells just like a professional treatment, for about 10% of the cost - and comparable results are guaranteed!



Our Patent-Pending system is the first and only true microdermabrasion you can do yourself. It is not like any other so-called "home microdermabrasion products" with "exfoliating creams" and "skin polishing machines." Real microdermabrasion needs friction to "abrade" the skin. Creams reduce friction, so they need to be applied with a skin polishing machine, and even then often give disappointing results. That may feel nice and give your skin a superficial "glow," but techincally if it isn't abrading the skin it isn't microdermabrasion, can't treat serious skin conditions, and doesn't provide lasting results. In fact, these products must be used every day just for a superficial result, while medical-quality microdermabrasion is so effective that you only should do it once every two weeks!



You'll get step-by-step instructions and everything you need for a series of medical-quality treatments. Each sterile DermaSponge is individually wrapped. PrepWash will thoroughly cleanse your skin before treatments. DermaRelief Gel is specially formulated to soothe your new skin after treatments. To protect your new skin from the elements, you'll get Protective Day Creme with SPF 15. Finally, HydraLipid Serum restores and hydrates your skin to keep it looking younger and healthier between treatments.


Visible Improvement Right Away!
Check out the results in your own mirror! Most people will see improvement after the first treatment, though the best results come after a series. Acne scars and large pores will be noticeably reduced. Age spots, discoloration, and fine lines will be less visible. Deeply pitted, scarred and dark pigmented areas may require more treatment. Microdermabrasion is not a "miracle cure" and results vary, but DermaSponge has helped some serious skin conditions even better than expensive procedures like laser or chemical peels.

Answer 4

Microdermabrasion is a pretty new skin resurfacing treatment that uses special doctor-handled machines or specially-formulated cream kits for home use, in order to rejuvenate and restore natural glow to your skin. The micro dermabrasion procedure is simple and painless and is equally effective to other surgical options (like laser skin resurfacing, dermal abrasion) and chemical peels.

The main benefit of microabrasion is that while it's equally effective to other, more invasive skin procedures, it allows you to get back to your daily routine immediately after. For best results, you may need between 5 and 12 microdermabrasion treatments, scheduled 1-2 weeks apart.
This is what microderma can do for your skin: it reduces enlarged pores, erases fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, revitalizes dull skin, treats hyperpigmentation (mild pigment irregularities), stretch marks and age spots.

Before you decide you want to try it, please talk to your doctor, he will help you find out if you are the right candidate.
Good Luck!
