Understanding Power Peels
Power Peels are micro-dermabrasion treatments that have been used in Europe for years. They are a safe, FDA approved, non-surgical, comprehensive approach to skin care which delivers improvements in skin texture, regardless of skin color.
Depending on the area treated, there will be an improvement in the skin's appearance. Stretch marks and acne scars will be less obvious. Age spots and fine lines are erased, and many patients report that their skin seems to be softer, smoother and younger-looking.
Power Peels are performed with the aid of micro-crystals vacuumed through a delicate hand piece, held at a precise angle to the skin. In as little as twenty minutes, this gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through a course of weekly sessions. Power Peels 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.
After the first treatment, the skin has a fresh pink glow. Improvement continues throughout the treatment program. The number of treatments recommended for maximum results averages from two to twelve.
Compared to other skin rejuvenation techniques, Power Peels take less time, have less discomfort, offer a quick recovery, and do not disrupt normal activities.
The best candidates for Power Peels are men and women who are in good health, have good skin tone, and are realistic in their expectations.
