| Your
skin is the largest organ in your body, and maintaining its
health is just as important as taking care of the rest of
yourself.
Skin works hard to protect you from the sun, heat and cold.
Over time, the environment's harmful effects will begin to
show on the outer layer of skin the world sees.
|
| What
is Power Peel®
The Power Peel® Microdermabrasion System
is an intense exfoliation process that rejuvenates the skin
by utilizing ultra-fine aluminum oxide crystals to remove
the upper layer of the stratum corneum. At the same time,
the hand piece of the instrument contains a vacuum tube that
sweeps up both the crystals and the skin's cellular debris.
This process exfoliates the skin, stimulating the production
of collagen and elastin which will result in a firmer, more
youthful looking skin over time.
|
What
are it's uses?
The Power Peel® Microdermabrasion System
buffs the skin of fine lines and discoloration while refining
texture and hue. Repeated treatments yield excellent results
for scar revision (whether from acne, chicken pox, or even surgery
scars) as well as deep discoloration, melasma, and tattoo removal.
|
What
results can I expect, and how soon?
Depending on the area treated, you will notice an improvement
in your skin's appearance. Acne scars will be less obvious.
Age spots and fine lines are greatly diminished and many patients
report that their skin seems to be softer, smoother, and younger-looking.
After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh pink
glow. Improvement continues throughout your treatment program.
you will begin to notice visible results after about the third
treatment.

| What
are Power Peel® treatments like? |
With the aid of microcrystals vacuumed through a delicate
hand piece, held at a precise angle to the skin, a technician
effects a superficial skin polishing. In as little as
30-45 minutes, this gentle abrasive technique efficiently
produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through
a course of weekly sessions. The Power Peel® Microdermabrasion
System can enhance skin condition and do what no other
available treatment can (without surgery) in combating
the signs of aging skin. Most importantly, it is safe
to use on all skin types and colors.
How
often can I get a Power Peel® treatment?
Every
7 to 10 days for up to 12-15 treatments. Monthly treatments
are recommended to maintain best results.

Who
can use Power Peel®
The
Power Peel® system is offered in two treatment modalities:
the ALI-1500A, designed for estheticians, and more powerful
systems, the ALI-1500M and ALI-2000M for physicians. Further
versatility comes from the operator's ability to completely
control the depth of the treatment through the number of passes
and power settings.
What's
the down time?
Unlike
chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or plastic surgery, there
is little or no down time. At most, patients will be pink (and
must consequently wear sunscreens diligently) for a day or two
after the treatment.

What
are the benefits of a Power Peel® over other procedures?
Power Peel® microdermabrasion treatments do not burn like
laser or acid treatments and last about 30-45 minutes, and do
not cause any disruptions to normal activities. There is less
discomfort and recovery is fast. Furthermore, the Power Peel®
is effective on all body areas. Chemical peels and laser resurfacing
are most effective on the face but are not as safe and are less
effective on the neck, chest, and hands. The Power Peel®
system is superb on the face and on the hands (even the knuckles),
chest, neck, knees, elbows, etc.
