DermaPhoresis

AermaPhoresis is a form of microdermabrasion that is very effective for all skin types including sensitive skin and fine skin that may not react as well to chemical peels or traditional microdermabrasion procedures.

Patients seek DermaPhoresis procedures for a variety of skin conditions and various blemishes. Patients typically seek DermaPhoresis treatments for blackheads, whiteheads, acne, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and enlarged pores and for pore refinement. The DermaPhoresis process works by carefully removing the first layer of skin cells, which reveals fresh new skin below.

DermaPhoresis uses pure salt under positive pressure that the practitioner moves slowly over the skin's surface. This is different than traditional microdermabrasion, which uses crystals under negative pressure. The benefits of this process include less likelihood that there will be hyperpigmentation in patients who under go the procedure. Hyperpigmentation is one of the possible side effects of traditional microdermabrasion.

DermaPhoresis is also popular as a pretreatment for other treatments such as intense pulse light treatment that works to remove spider veins from the skin's surface. DermaPhoresis is also a great pretreatment for any type of filler procedure. DermaPhoresis helps reduce the appearance of the fine lines and wrinkles and so there may not be a need for nearly as much filler compound as one might think they need prior to having the DermaPhoresis procedure.

Using various antioxidant creams that can help to remove stretch marks and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin over and above what the DermaPhoresis can do on is own can enhance the results of DermaPhoresis. This is because the DermaPhoresis procedure helps the active ingredients of the lotions penetrate the skin more effectively.

As with most microdermabrasion procedures patients will need several treatments to achieve the best results. The DermaPhoresis procedure is an efficient and effective way to achieve the youthful appearance people are always striving for.
