The 20 Minute Mini-Facelift

Bella Derma uses particle dermabrasion. It is a revolutionary new skin restoration process, commonly referred to as “the lunch time peel” because the procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can return to work immediately. Used at exclusive European spas for over five years, this unique skin rejuvenation technique has recently received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.

The procedure uses highly controlled vacuum and pressure to move microscopically abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks or months, with comprehensive skin care treatment, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, revealing significant textural and color changes.

MICRODERMABRASION

Rejuvenation in Skin Care Radiant Results With a Gentle Touch

A remarkable solution to youth and beauty, a secret that has been enjoyed by Europeans for years. 1996, the United States introduced a new form of skin care treatment, MICRODERMABRASION and thousands of people are seeing and experiencing a more youthful glow and renewed vitality. Developed in Italy, Microdermabrasion is a highly effective, clinically proven technique for treating fine lines, wrinkles, scars, age spots, and stretch marks. It also regenerates the epidermal cell structure, resulting in a 30 percent increase in the skin's elasticity, creating more beautiful skin. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that is performed with a jet of fine mineral crystals that look a bit like sugar. These crystals are vacuumed across the skin to remove the dead and damaged skin cells and to stimulate the collagen beneath the surface of the skin.

This gentle technique, applied by a skilled clinical skin care specialist, has been described as "sandblasting with velvet" because it softly produces a remarkable difference in the skin's appearance, yet is safe, pain-free and non-invasive. After just one 45-minute treatment, clients report their skin tone and texture are improved: wrinkles are less apparent; even scarring is less noticeable and pore size is reduced. Although, the FDA has approved the procedure, its effectiveness and success depends on the skill and expertise of the skin care technician. Our licensed clinical skin care specialists, with at least 15 years experience in the dermatological and clinical skin care field, has developed an exceptional method for bringing skin to its lustrous beauty through the use of Microdermabrasion. Initially, each new patient is examined to determine the exact technique appropriate for treating the patient's specific skin care concerns-- whether they be dark spots from over-exposure from the sun, wrinkling, acne or acne scars, dilated capillaries, or other minor skin abnormalities. The course of treatment may be as brief as a one-hour Beauty Blast, to a more extensive treatment series designed to gently address more serious skin care problems, such as hypertrophic scars, chicken pox scars, broken capillaries or brown spots and pigmentation. No anesthesia is required, and the process requires little or no healing time. Patients return to work or their every day activity immediately after having the procedure.

  And the results... Instantaneous! After just one treatment, clients report their skin glows, tone and texture are improved, and skin appears smoother, firmer, more uniform and translucent. Wrinkles and scaring is less apparent and noticeable. Successive treatments enhance the skin's appearance, leaving it blemish-free, more youthful and brilliant in appearance. To ensure proper maintenance and promote healthy skin, our specialists prescribe a customized regimen of skin care.
