Microderabrasions |
| The Libra™ is a negative pressure microdermabrasion device uses corundum crystals which are swept across the skin at high velocity within a treatment tip. The crystals abrade the stratum corneum of the epidermis uniformly so that the surface of the skin is "polished" and smoothed; it is like a microscopic exfoliation which leaves the skin "glowing". The Libra™ is closed circuit system, so the technician and patient are not exposed to used crystals. The crystals flow from the closed bottle through the tubing, treatment tip, and is returned into a used crystals receptacle with HEPA filtration. Libra™ treatments can be done 7-10 days apart for a basic microdermabrasion programme. Usually 5-7 treatments are done to improve skin reflectance, tone and texture. Libra™ treatment can be done in between skin rejuvenation (FotoFacial) treatments, 2 weeks following a treatment or 1 week prior to the next SR/WR treatment. This helps to slough off darkened pigment as the keratinocytes migrate up through the stratum corneum. Thinning out the stratum corneum also preps the skin for the next skin rejuvenation treatment, making it easier for the light/laser energy from elōs technology to penetrate the epidermis. The Libra™ is a wonderful adjunct to acne therapy because keratin clumping in pores contributes to comedone development. Regular microdermabrasion keeps the pores unplugged and helps to prevent new acne lesions. “Streaking” from uneven or overly aggressive suction is not a common occurrence with the Libra™ compared to some other microdermabrasion systems. |
